Images and types of fences made of corrugated sheets for country houses

What types are there?

When planning to install a fence made of corrugated sheets, you need to decide on the type of its design. The variety of fences can be divided into the following groups.

Solid

The corrugated sheets can be joined together to create a solid fence. This design is easy to install – in most cases, a foundation is not required, it is enough to deepen the support posts and fix horizontal beams to them.

Ease of installation, affordable price, and non-visibility of the site are the main advantages of such a fence. A neat but simple appearance does not add solidity, however, this can be corrected by using decorative elements when decorating the upper edge, gates and wicket.

Picket fence

Fencing made of metal planks is rapidly winning new fans among the owners of summer cottages and country houses. Euro picket fence is made of profiled sheet planks. Installing such a fence eliminates the need to cut metal, since the planks have a fixed length.

Quick assembly allows you to install the fence yourself. Due to the distance between the planks, sunlight penetrates the site, air circulation is ensured, which has a beneficial effect on the health of plants planted near the fence.

The aesthetic appearance of the fence adds coziness to the site, without hiding the beauty of the garden from prying eyes. Repairability is also an undeniable advantage, since individual sections can be replaced by unscrewing a screw or pulling out a rivet, and then installing a new strip.

Euro picket fence is a stylish solution for decorating the boundaries of a private house or summer cottage. The strips can be installed on both sides of the cross beams, as shown in the photo, or only on one. In the latter case, material consumption is reduced, but the area becomes more visible.

With brick columns

This type of fencing has become widespread due to its noble appearance. Between the brick columns there are sections of corrugated sheet metal, which is attached to joists made of a profile pipe or angle. If the spans between the support posts are large enough, there is a need to install additional joists, which are installed on the back side.

The design of the combined fence assumes the presence of a foundation. The complexity of the work is offset by the durability of the fence and all sorts of options for its design. The appearance is in harmony with any exterior.

Brick columns, decorated with decorative elements, in combination with corrugated sheet metal have an attractive appearance. This design solution is suitable for private houses.

Without a foundation

The absence of a foundation speeds up the installation of the fence and allows you to save money on the purchase of concrete. This design option is appropriate if there are no significant differences in height on the site, the soil is not watery, and the area is not exposed to strong gusty winds. In this case, the posts are installed first. The supports are buried at least 1.5 m deep, and the bottom of the pits is filled with gravel or brick fragments. The posts are leveled using a plumb line and filled with cement mortar. After this, the transverse joists are installed and the metal sheets are fastened.

With a foundation

A fence on a foundation has increased reliability. Such a frame contributes to the greatest wind resistance. The strip foundation is poured with concrete along the entire length of the fence, using reinforcement and formwork. At the final stage, the foundation is faced with brick or stone.

Pros and cons

Fences made of corrugated sheet combine a lot of advantages, however, such structures also have disadvantages.

Which fence is better to choose for a private house?

If you decide to install a fence made of corrugated sheet, you should take care of its reliability. The design, which does not imply the presence of a foundation, captivates with an attractive cost and high installation speed, however, for a private house, a fence on a foundation is better suited. Durability and high quality will eliminate the need to redo the work.

Most often, preference is given to sectional construction. This is due to its aesthetic appeal and durability. In some cases, a solid fence will look more interesting.

Color options

At the production stage, galvanized profiled sheets are covered with a polymer layer that performs protective functions and gives it color. Such a coating does not fade under the influence of sunlight and retains its original appearance for a long time. A rich color palette allows you to easily select a shade of material that will harmonize with the atmosphere of the house and the site.

Calm tones are popular – brown, red, beige, gray. This color scheme will be appropriate in any setting. The white fence looks fresh and will become a real decoration of the dacha. Black color gives a strict and solid look, however, a dark fence requires more care, since dirt is more noticeable on it.

The bright color scheme amazes the imagination with a riot of colors – rich burgundy, exquisite green, luxurious blue and shining yellow shades of a fence made of corrugated board will transform the environment. Saturated tones can be combined with elements of home design, for example, a roof, or garden decor. A bright fence can also act as an accent.

The example on the left shows how integral and harmonious the site with the house looks. This effect is achieved by designing in a single style and color.

Modern technologies make it possible to create metal sheets that imitate wood or stone textures. Fences made of such materials look unusual and attract attention.

Corrugated sheet, imitating the texture of a tree, adds coziness to the design of the site. The photo shows how successfully this material is combined with brickwork and harmonizes with plants.

What decor can be chosen?

A laconic fence made of corrugated sheet can easily be turned into a source of pride for the owner of the house. The design of the upper edge deserves special attention. The metal sheets can be trimmed in the form of an arc, this simple solution will make the fence more attractive. Decorative grilles or metal canopies can be placed above the frames with profiled sheets. Lanterns or candlesticks placed on the fence made of corrugated sheet metal from the side of the site will also serve as its decoration.

The canopy serves not only as a decorative element, but also protects the end of the profiled sheet from moisture. The service life of such a structure increases.

You can combine different colors of the profiled sheet. Photo printing is another way to decorate a fence made of corrugated board, giving it a unique design with the help of drawings. Having shown a creative approach, you can do the painting yourself, embodying the most daring ideas, or entrust the work to a professional specializing in airbrushing.

Decorative shrubs and flowering plants planted along the fence made of corrugated board emphasize the boundaries of the site and act as decor. Both low plants and climbing plants are suitable for decoration. You can hang light flowerpots with hanging flowers on the fence joists.

The combination of profiled sheets of different colors gives the fence an original look, as shown in the photo. The use of two layers of corrugated sheets also increases the strength of the structure.

Options for combining with other materials

Beautiful fences with forged elements attract admiring glances. Elegant patterns, plant ornaments and strict geometry of forging look expressive both against the background of profiled sheets and as a decoration of the upper edge of the fence. Only the gate and wicket or the entire fence can be decorated in this technique.

Several materials can be used at once, as shown in the photo. Chocolate-colored corrugated sheeting looks luxurious in a brick and stone frame, and decorative forged elements add elegance to the fence.

The combination of corrugated sheeting and concrete looks impressive, as does the combination of a metal fence with wood treated with stain. Brickwork and stone decoration give the fence made of corrugated sheets a monumental look.

How to make a fence with your own hands?

Building a fence yourself allows you to save on landscaping your site. You will need a special tool to complete the work. The construction of the structure includes the following stages.

• You should start with a schematic image of the future fence made of corrugated sheet, showing its location, installation of gates and wickets, buildings and large plants, as well as elevation changes. At this stage, you need to calculate the height of the fence and the length of individual straight sections and sketch the location of the support posts.
• When choosing a material, you need to consider the type of sheet and the size of the corrugation. Wall corrugated sheet is ideal. In most cases, the optimal height of the corrugation is 10-20 mm, the thickness is about 0.5 mm. For support posts, it is better to use metal pipes or special pipes for the fence, which have an upper plug, holes for fastening sheets and a “heel” for installing the post. Square pipes are suitable for horizontal crossbars, their width should be half that of the support post. To avoid welding, you also need to purchase plates for fastening corrugated sheets and hardware. It is better to fasten the sheets with self-tapping screws with a rubber gasket, this way you can avoid damaging the surface and ensure a strong connection.
• It is necessary to calculate the amount of material, rounding all values up.
• For construction work, you will need cement mortar, as well as containers for mixing it, a level, a plumb line, a shovel, a drill, a rope, and a grinder. Do not forget about personal protective equipment – glasses and gloves.
• The area should be prepared by clearing the soil surface. Depending on the type of soil and the chosen design of the fence made of corrugated sheets, holes are drilled or a trench is dug to arrange the foundation.
• The base supports are installed, to which the transverse joists are subsequently attached.
• Decorative design of the supporting columns is carried out if the design of a sectional fence is chosen.
• The corrugated sheet is mounted on the joists through the lower wave of the corrugation.
• Decorative elements are attached.
• The area is cleaned after the work is completed.
