If used wooden joists as a support, in this case the dug-in part of the lumber must be treated to prevent the process of rotting in the ground. This part can be painted or tarred.

Using a drill or shovel, holes are dug in the ground at an equidistant distance. You can do it in two ways:

1. Sprinkle vertically installed supports earth and compact them well.
2. Pour in cement and wait until it dries completely.

This unusual solution Requires a little more effort to assemble, but it's worth it as it really looks great. If desired, you can further decorate it decorative elements. The assembly principle of this design is somewhat similar to the above, but there are still several differences.

An excellent option for a garden fence is shown in the photo below.

Pillars

Set of spans

The methods of fastening the planks solely depend on the material of the supporting pillars. The boards are installed in the prepared grooves. It is customary to install planks from bottom to top. The topmost board is installed in a horizontal position, and all the rest are installed at an angle of 45° or any other.

Wooden fence“Herringbone” is the choice of people who value beauty and functionality. The barrier fabric is assembled from horizontally located boards, each of which is fixed at an angle and slightly overhangs the previous one. This installation technology promotes natural moisture removal - rainwater flows off the surface of the boards without getting inside the structure. At the same time, wide possibilities for finishing allow you to design the fence in full accordance with the taste of the owner. For example, it can be painted, coated with a glazing compound, or varnished, preserving the natural color and natural grain of the wood. Successfully combining high strength and attractive appearance, “Herringbone” fences not only protect the personal territory from unwanted entry, but also serve as a real decoration of the site.

Advantages of a wooden fence "Herringbone"

• Reliability The design of the fence is such that it is very difficult to climb on it. Thanks to this, additional protection of the site from thieves and hooligans is provided.
• Respectability Overlapping boards forming the fence fabric create a volume effect. Due to this, the fence looks not only aesthetically pleasing, but also truly rich.
• Durability Installation is carried out in such a way as to minimize the aggressive effects of moisture. In combination with the use of protective impregnations, this significantly extends the life of the fence.
• Environmentally friendly Having natural origin, the tree does not pose a danger to anyone environment, not for humans. At the same time, it fits harmoniously into the suburban landscape.

Materials and components for construction

Cost of the “Herringbone” fence

When ordering a fence for summer cottage, country house or any other object, it is important to understand what the cost of the structure consists of. First of all, the final figure in the invoice is influenced by the type of materials, brand of fittings, installation method, length and height of the fence. The complexity of the project is also an important factor. For example, a “Herringbone” fence can be mounted on both wooden and brick pillars. In the second case, the cost of the structure will be higher. That is why we recommend checking the amount with managers after agreeing on all the details of the project.

Protect your fence from rotting and corrosion!

Installation procedure

• 01 Perimeter marking

  Curvature and other installation defects reduce not only the attractiveness, but also the functionality of the fence. That is why it is so important to correctly mark the site on initial stage works To do this, use wooden pegs, twine or rope, and tape measure. Marking begins from the corners, and then perimeter pegs are installed along the twine.

• 02 Installation of supports

  First, the pillars of the corners, as well as the gates and gates, are installed. Next, install the remaining supports. The distance between them is determined by the length of the board from which the fence is assembled. Typically the step is 2.5 meters. Reducing this distance leads to a decrease in the aesthetic qualities of the fence; increasing it has a negative effect on strength.

• 03 Installation methods

  To ensure the wind resistance of the fence, the installation depth of the posts should not be less than 1.2 meters. The support is installed in a pre-drilled hole, leveled vertically using a level and either concreted or covered with fine crushed stone. There is another technology - hammering. However, it is only suitable for metal poles.

• 04 Installation of strips

  At equal distances between the support pillars, perform vertical installation two wooden planks. In cases where the step between supports exceeds 2.5 meters, it is recommended to use at least three logs. Installation of intermediate support elements is also carried out level with mandatory vertical control.

• 05 Assembly of the canvas

  Installation of horizontal boards forming the fence begins from the bottom. Each element is attached to support posts and intermediate joists using self-tapping screws. The boards are mounted at a slight angle to the center line with an overlap over the previously fixed structural element. A canopy is installed on top of the fence.

• 06 Arrangement of the entrance

  At the final stage of installation, reinforcement is performed support pillars with the help of jibs. The need to use additional fasteners is due to the fact that the moving elements bear the greatest load during operation of the fence. After strengthening, the frame of the wicket and gate is hung on poles and sheathed with boards.

In recent years, fashion has wooden buildings leads to the fact that developers are increasingly thinking about metal fence, perhaps not the most best solutions. From the point of view of durability, maybe yes, but from the point of view of aesthetics, it is inferior to wood. The wooden fence has somewhat lost its popularity due to its short life: wood, with constant exposure to sun and water, quickly deteriorates. To increase service life, protective covering in the form of paint, it has to be constantly renewed. If it is long, it takes a long time and requires a considerable amount of paint. This problem has become less acute since the emerging Lately New antiseptics make it possible to extend the life of the fence and also guarantee colorfastness for several years. The term varies - from 2-3 years to 5-7. It depends on the type of antiseptic impregnation and the manufacturer, but finding “long-lasting” ones is not difficult: in any more or less large store.

Moreover, these impregnations do not paint over the texture of the wood: all the veins are visible. They simply change color, usually to a darker color. This wooden fence looks solid and rich. Even a simple picket fence, let alone a complicated one, even more so.

What is important is that you can install a wooden fence with your own hands alone, if necessary, even without the assistance of helpers. Another important thing: a significant part of the work - preparing the wood - can be carried out not on site, but, say, in a garage or workshop. And start it long before construction begins. For example, from autumn to spring, and the construction itself can begin when the weather is warm.

Wood is a very flexible material and the simplest thing can be made so that it looks like a work of art. This is also true for fences. If you wish, you can make such a “candy” that it would be a pleasure to look at. There are several designs of wooden fences.

Fence

The simplest one is a picket fence. This is a set edged boards or planks of the same width, usually, which are nailed vertically to two or more transverse guides.

Scheme of a wooden fence made of vertically nailed boards - picket fence

The shape of the top may differ. Cutting the floor 90° is the simplest option, but far from the best, and not only from an aesthetic point of view. The top of such a picket fence, even painted, is exposed to intense moisture, as a result of which the coating in this place is the first to be destroyed. And the wood pores in the perpendicular cut remain open. Rain, fog, melting snow/ice are absorbed by them, which leads to the destruction of wood. To avoid this, cut the tops not at 90°, but at 45°. If you look at such a board in profile, the top will be beveled (see picture below).

The distance between two adjacent pickets is chosen according to your wishes. You can make a solid fence, fitting one to the other closely, you can make it translucent, leaving a gap of 1-2 cm, or you can make it completely transparent - with a large distance equal to the width of the boards or even more. Such options are popular for internal fences, which are more designed to separate zones and mark boundaries than to protect from something. For external fences facing the street, they usually choose a continuous installation, perhaps with a very short distance, so that the boards do not “heave” in wet weather.

Sawn tops add variety. They can be sharpened in different ways - with a rounded top, in the form of peaks, triangles, trapezoids. All this in different options and combinations.

The rounded top is the most popular. It’s more of an openwork fence, but it’s definitely decorative. Tops in the shape of lilies - the fence will be beautiful. Peaks and triangles - in combination and independently.

Some even create truly works of art: a carved fence requires a lot of perseverance. The work is painstaking, but the result is worth it.

Carved fence slats - beauty Beauty - carved wooden fence

Make curly tops faster and easier using a template. Cut a sample from a sheet of plywood and bring it to perfect condition. Then use this template to cut out all the rest. You can cut it using a jigsaw or on a milling machine.

You can buy a jigsaw for such a case. Still, even taking into account this expense item, it will be cheaper than buying ready-made carved pickets. The downside here is that it takes a lot of time, and the pickets turn out to be uneven: sometimes the file goes a little to the right, sometimes a little to the left. The edges will then have to be sanded.

Buying a milling machine if you don’t plan to use it later is unprofitable. And those who already have one can buy cutters with a floating head and make a shaped picket fence with its help. The height of the cutting part of the cutter is equal to the thickness of the board that you will process, and the head rests against the template.

In both cases, you will have to somehow secure the template to the workpiece. This can be done with thin nails or by gluing double-sided tape to the template.

But if you approach the process creatively, then even from even thin planks you can make a beautiful wooden fence: nailing it at different angles.

The authors of this wooden picket fence made it even simpler: they made only the height nonlinear, emphasizing the relief with a plank nailed on top. This, by the way, is the second way to significantly increase the life of a wooden fence - the plank blocks access for water to the most vulnerable open cross sections). Also, non-linearity is imparted by planks nailed onto the surface in the form of frames, and the wood inside is painted in a more light color. Agree, original.

Fence made of wood “checkerboard” or “chess”

In fact, this is one of the subspecies of a picket fence. The boards are packed alternately on one side or the other of the crossbar. It turns out an interesting three-dimensional look.

The principle of installing pickets in a “checkerboard” or “chess” fence

If you look at such a fence exactly opposite, it looks like a blank fence; if you look at it from the side, then at a certain angle some part of the yard will be visible through the gap. The degree of transparency is regulated by moving one bar over another. You can make it so that the viewability will be zero. For example, with a plank width of 10 cm, the distance between them should be no more than 6 cm. No matter how you look at it, nothing is visible. The disadvantage is the high consumption of wood. But the fences turn out to be very beautiful, especially in combination with brick or stone pillars and figuratively made tops.

Checkerboard on the plinth - such a fence looks gorgeous

They also make horizontal fences from checkerboard. But here you need to keep in mind that such a fence is very convenient to climb: the boards are like steps. True, any fence is not such a serious obstacle. It is more likely to be protection from prying eyes than from serious assassination attempts.

Wooden fence - horizontal checkerboard

Such “chess” looks decent and solid. The pillars can be anything: metal, wood, stone, concrete. If they put metal poles, they are made from a profile thick-walled pipe (3 mm). Above the ground level, on the front and back sides, they are sewn up with boards (to the posts with bolts or self-tapping screws), which are larger than the width of the profile: they should protrude on the sides by 3-6 cm. This way we get guides into which the boards are inserted. The boards are then attached from the inside to the sheathing of the posts.

Fence "Herringbone"

Another type of horizontal fence is called a “herringbone”. It is named so because the boards are laid close to one another, and with an overlap on the one located below. In profile it looks like a Christmas tree, as children draw it.

Wooden herringbone fences create a continuous covering

It is more difficult to climb up such a fence. Please note that there is a protective visor on top. It protects the most vulnerable part of the fence, greatly extending its service life, and also delaying the time for the next painting. After all, usually the coating at the top and bottom is the most damaged. This fence is protected from below by a plinth, and from above by a canopy.

Wooden fences "blinds"

They differ from the one described above in that the boards do not adhere to one another. They are fixed at an angle, but with some play. This type of fencing does not create a continuous wall and the yard can be viewed, although this will require you to sit down or even lie down, depending on the angle of inclination.

A fence called “blinds” - after looking at its structure, you will understand why

This type of fence is very uneconomical - wood consumption is usually high. Assembly is also complicated: you need to attach a block (corner) under each board or cut a notch in the post.

But with this construction, good ventilation of the area is ensured. This is important if the climate or area is humid. You can’t install a solid fence: there will be a puddle under it and the dirt in the yard will never dry out.

Wicker from a board - a beautiful fence

A fence made of boards bent between posts looks unusual. They are intertwined between the pillars like a traditional wattle fence. They just make it from long boards.

Wicker fence made from boards

Most often they are found in a horizontal design. There are fewer joints and it is easier to bend long spans.

There are also vertical braids. To give them a finished look, strips are nailed at the top and bottom - they both hold the edges of the boards and protect them from bad weather.

How to make such beauty, watch the video. It's really not difficult, but it requires a lot of strength.

Lattice fencing

A wide variety of gratings are made from thin, and not so thin, slats: with different angles, frequency of planks, etc. These fences play rather a decorative role and are used either for fencing inside - in the garden, in the garden - or for the main entrance - to mark the boundaries, but not to cover the beauty.

Photos of beautiful fences

It’s simply amazing what beauty people can make from a piece of wood. Really beautiful. And some of them are not very complicated.

Maybe someone will be inspired by these photographs of old wooden fences, they can be repeated...

Disappearing beauty...

Modern construction market offers a huge number of materials for the construction of fences. Despite this, wooden picket fences remain relevant at all times. In addition to attractive appearance, working with such material is very easy, and fences made from it do not require difficult repairs. Herringbone fences come in a variety of designs, patterns and finishes, which allows you to choose a product that fits perfectly into the exterior of the house and the style of the site.

Looking at the photo, you can understand that such wooden structures can be made in the most incredible variations: checkerboard, lattice, ladder and others. Thanks to the installation of a combined model of a wooden fence, you can add natural beauty to absolutely any hedge.

Distinctive features of the Herringbone fencing

Not every house can be fenced with a decorative and at the same time ventilated structure. If your site is located close to the road, it will not be advisable to make a fence with gaps. The main factor when choosing similar design You will need protection against road noise, gas and dust. It is for this reason that it is better to install a blind fence.

All these characteristics are distinguished by a “Herringbone” (or “Ladder”) type fence, the installation of which is possible both for a modern cottage and for a small one. country house. As for the appearance of such a structure, it is very similar to siding. The “ladder” is a double-sided face guard. The photo shows a typical fence of this variety.

To erect a “Ladder” fence, several types of construction boards can be used:

1. Planed fence. This option can be used for any type of fencing.
2. Aged. Has a modern and stylish appearance.
3. Unedged. It has a strong resemblance to slab, but the edges of the material are either partially or not sawn at all.
4. Decorative fence. It takes on an unusual appearance after finishing with processed ends or edges.

Installation process

In order to make a “Ladder” fence with your own hands, you must first stock up on the necessary material.

You can purchase such products directly from the manufacturer. Experienced specialists can make sections for the picket fence with their own hands, and their installation will be carried out in their own way.

The process of erecting a “Herringbone” fence with a solid canvas is presented in the following stages:

1. Installation of the support system. In most cases, it is made using profile pipe made of steel, the cross-sectional dimensions of which are 60 by 60 mm.
2. Installation of sections. It should happen gradually. Each board should be installed above the previous one and have a slight slope. Each section includes 13-20 wood panels and 2 lintels.
3. Joining each board. Carried out during the process of creating a structure.
4. Covering a metal support system with wood. This method allows you to give the building greater attractiveness.

The procedure for erecting a Herringbone fence is presented in the video. In some cases, wood panels are installed horizontally, and the empty space between them is equipped with special gaskets. Thus, making such a fence will not be difficult at all. To give a more interesting appearance, you can use wooden cornice strip, installing it at the top of the spans. This addition will protect the entire structure from negative influence weather conditions.

Caring for wooden structures

A wooden fence is greatly influenced by such external factors, such as precipitation or ultraviolet rays.

In addition, owners of such structures very often encounter changes in the integrity of the board due to the appearance of mold or insects on it. Such an impact can also negatively affect the main characteristics of the structure, thus significantly reducing its service life.

It is for this reason that installing the “Christmas Tree” with your own hands requires you to take a thorough approach to ensuring the protection of the fence. To do this, you can coat the wood with special antiseptics. There is the possibility of more original version– applying paints and varnishes to the fence.
