Modern land is impossible to imagine without a fence set by its perimeter. Today, this kind of fence is designed not only to limit the freedom of the penetration of uninvited guests, but also to decorate your site, give it a finished look. In order for the fence to complete all these functions, it must be reliable and strong, the key to what is the quality setting of support pillars.

Before moving to the mounting of the pillars, it is necessary to determine their material - modern supports can be made of wood, metal or concrete / brick. Due to its strength and ease, pillars made of metal pipes are used everywhere and can be established by the most diverse methods. Wood pillars are much less likely, since only very expensive wood is suitable for the construction, for example, oak or cedar. Due to the constant dampness and humidity of the soil, the support from ordinary coniferous or deciduous trees will serve you only a few years. Installing a pillars from concrete or brick is the most time consuming. Most often, they are mounted in order to further decorate the land plot and are designed to serve its "calling card".

Deciding with the material of the poles and calculating the locations of their installation, you can move to direct installation. The most versatile method for installing any type of pillars - concreting, which provides for digging the wells and pouring in it with a concrete solution. A special bur will significantly accelerate the process of digging the pit, but if you do not have it - you can do the usual shovel. To facilitate this process at the installation site, remove the turf and fill the area with water. Wait 10-15 minutes so that the soil wet and become more supplied. If the length of the columns of your fence is 1.5 meters and less - for installation there will be enough pits with a depth of 50 centimeters. Installation of higher supports must be carried out in the holes with a depth of 80 centimeters. To determine the desired unit, the general rule is valid - the depth of the wells should be 1/3 part of the height of the pillar.

The easiest and cheapest way to install a post for a fence is to scoring it into the soil. To implement it, you will need a sledgehammer and a partner, which will hold the pillar in the perpendicular position. However, by virtue of its primitiveness, this method is ineffective on stony or soft soils and is suitable only for metal structures. In addition, it is not at all suitable for fixing heavy structures, such as sheets of metal rolling or concrete floors. If you want to score a 2.5 meter long post in the ground and more, you can't do without a "grandmother", which is a meter piece of pipe, one of the ends of which is tightly brewed and dressed up to 15-20 kilograms. This design must be equipped with a guide, which in the process of clogging the post is inside it, which significantly increases the accuracy of the strikes. In an industrial scale, supports are clogged using special hydraulic or pneumatic hammers capable of three meter pole in the ground.

Pillars made of concrete or bricks are installed on the foundation of the ribbon type, the width of which should be more supports by 10-15 centimeters. To fill the foundation throughout the perimeter of the plot, dig a trench, the depth of which should be within 50-70 centimeters. In places of construction of pillars, it is necessary to drive metal pipes, which will continue to support the pillar. Inside the trench, install the formwork and the reinforcement frame, and then proceed to the fill of the concrete. After the foundation finally freezes, take on the construction of pillars. To prevent the destruction of the supports due to moisture from entering the solution on the finished horizontal surface, protect it with decorative metal structures or a special facing stone.
Now, possessing information on how to make the installation of posts for the fence, you can independently establish a fence that matches your preferences without referring to expensive help to builders.
