Advantages of a European picket fence

Adjustable clearance level
One of the main properties of a European picket fence is the adjustment of the clearance level. The pickets, as a rule, are located from each other at a distance of 1 to 10 cm. In this way, the fence can be made almost blank. If this is not enough, then metal pickets can be placed on both sides of the log, which will make it invisible at right angles, and all this without harming the air flow of the area.
Reliability
A metal picket fence is not only beautiful and practical, but also has high degree vandal resistance. As an additional option, we can install anti-vandal fastenings to reduce the risk of dismantling the fence. If desired, the upper edges of the picket fence can be given a pointed shape and climbing over such a fence will be quite problematic.
Individuality
Unlike any other types of fence, this fence has many decoration options and can be adjusted to any style and format of the area.
Ease of maintenance
Euro picket fences manufactured by our company require almost no maintenance. A polymer-coated euro picket fence will last more than 20 years. In addition, in case of mechanical damage, the picket fence can be easily replaced with a new one.

Blowing the area near the fence important factor for summer residents. The fact is that normal and natural growth of plants and flowers is impossible near solid fences.

A large selection of colors will allow you to create a pleasant environment around your home, where every detail fits together. Advantages of fences made of Euro picket fences

Long service life. This fence will last at least 20 years, as it is not exposed to external influences. Unlike wooden fencing, you won't have to completely replace the fence if it gets damaged. The fence is covered with a protective polymer that retains the brightness of the color for many years.
Value for money. Is smart choice this type of fence, since it will last you longer than a wooden one, while maintaining all its properties. You can calculate and discuss the price with a consultant on the website.
Transparency and airflow do not interfere with each other. So, the area that the fence encloses must be blown through, drying the soil. Sunlight is also necessary for the growth of flowers and other plants. A metal fence is not a hindrance to this.

Installation of a metal picket fence

Installation of pillars. You choose for yourself brick pillars install or on metal ones. Columns made of profile pipe 60x60mm are driven to a depth of 1.2 -1.5 m. The pillars are compacted either by butting (butting), or by backfilling with sand and crushed stone, or by concreting.
Crossbars for welding from professional pipe 40x20mm are installed in quantities from two to three or four at the request of the customer and depending on the height of the picket fence.
The pickets are attached to the crossbars using screws or rivets.
All parts of the fence frame are coated with additional anti-corrosion enamels or primers for strength.
Plastic or steel plugs are placed on the posts. Otherwise, excess moisture getting inside the column may turn into ice (if negative temperatures) and subsequently break it.

When you decide to install a fence, you can determine for yourself whether the pickets will be on one side of the fence or on both. It is worth considering the fact that if you install picket fences in a checkerboard pattern, you can safely count on the fact that everything behind the fence will be hidden from prying eyes. When placing pickets in a single row, it is recommended to leave 20 to 60 mm between them. And when installed in a checkerboard pattern, the distance between the pickets can be from 40 to 80mm.

Since every client wants his fence and color scheme to be unique, we offer you the opportunity to choose one of the colors presented in the catalog according to the RAL table. All this can be discussed with a consultant. The lead time for painting in Rahl color to order is only 7-10 days. What colors we paint in: RAL 1014, 1015, 1018, 2004, 3005, 3011, 5002, 5005, 5021, 6002, 6005, 7004, 7005, 8017, 9003, 9005.

Advantages of Finfold European picket fences

The Finfold euro picket fence was developed in the process of cooperation with engineers from Finland and patented by specialists from the MASTEROVIT company. The material combines attractive appearance, reliability, durability and unpretentiousness.

All edges of the elements are rolled. ABOUT metal surfaces It is impossible to get scratched or cut. This factor is especially important if children play or pets walk on the site.
Fences made from Finfold Euro picket fences are 3 times stronger than their wooden counterparts. A large number of stiffeners improves the characteristics of the material.
Metal elements does not require constant care and maintenance. Fences are resistant to harsh climatic conditions.
Each Finfold picket (finfold) at the expense M-shaped contacts the joists at six points. MASTEROVIT specialists selected the ideal width of the elements (100 mm).

Designed by Finnish technology the conveyor is equipped with 12 rolling rollers. The possibility of product deformation during the production process is eliminated.

Complete set of European picket fences

We can produce metal picket fences of any height (from 100 to 4000 mm) at the request of the customer. In addition to the main material, the following are used in the construction of fences:

pillars, these profiled pipes (60*60 mm) have a wall thickness of 2 mm and are equipped with plastic sealed plugs;
logs (40*20 mm), a picket fence is screwed to these transverse bars with a wall thickness of 1.5 mm;
self-tapping screws, they are matched to the color of the metal elements.

We offer several options for processing fencing:

Powder coating of picket fences, posts and joists.

Types of colors of Euro picket fence

Various polymer and powder coatings are available to order. From choosing an option finishing The service life of the fence and the frequency of its maintenance depend.

Classic polymer coatings are cheaper than their powder counterparts. However, if you want to maximize the life of the structure while maintaining a presentable appearance and avoid maintenance costs, it is better to choose powder coating.

The processing of metal picket fences by our specialists takes place under the control of Henkel, one of the leaders in the paint and varnish materials market.

A metal picket fence can be attached to the joists either on one side (standard solution) or on both sides (“checkerboard”). Any of the implementation options will preserve the area's ventilation.

With one-sided fastening, you can adjust the visibility of the area by changing the installation step of the pickets. This is very important if you plan to plant plants on the site.
“Chess” hides the territory from prying eyes while maintaining ventilation. The fence looks very beautiful both from the outside and from the outside inside.

To protect the end part of the structure from external influences a decorative strip is installed. A European picket fence takes on a complete appearance.

A metal picket fence is a modern alternative to its wooden counterpart. Material – galvanized steel sheets. A fence made from it can last up to 50 years.

A metal picket fence is an excellent protective structure and at the same time beautiful.

The installation of such a fence is in many ways similar to a wooden one and does not cause difficulties, and various ways fastening the planks allows you to build a unique-looking canvas.

Users often search:

To obtain the slats, steel sheets are rolled by a special press, giving them a relief. After this, strips of the same width and length are cut. The blanks are coated with a protective polymer layer and painted.

The material is called “Euro picket fence” because it is produced on European equipment in compliance with European standards.

The planks vary in shape, profile, coating, and metal thickness. Let's look at the features of each type separately.

By shape

They have a flat or figured top. The latter produces unusual beautiful fences. In addition, the edges of the planks are rolled (bent) or not.

Photo: wood-like metal picket fence.

When choosing a picket fence for a fence, it is better to give preference to rolled edges, since you cannot cut yourself on them, which simplifies installation. But such planks cost an order of magnitude more than those with raw edges.

By profile

U-shaped (rectangular). Has longitudinal profiling. The number of ribs or grooves may vary depending on the manufacturer. For a fence, a rectangular profile is considered sufficiently rigid if it has at least 3 stiffening ribs and the edges are rolled.
M-shaped. The shape is longitudinally profiled in the center. Most durable option profile. The reason for this is a large number of ribs Often produced with this particular profile, rounded top and wide rolled edges.
Semicircular. Due to the complexity of production, it is expensive. The rigidity is sufficient, but additional grooves can be formed to increase it.

Photo: U-shaped and M-shaped picket fence.

The more stiffening ribs a metal profile strip has, the more resistant the material is to bending along its length.

Modernized versions of the picket fence have 6, 12, 16 ribs.

The standard height of the strips is from 0.5 to 3 m, width – 8–12 cm.

If you decide to install a double-sided checkerboard fence, where there are practically no gaps, then it is recommended to take material with an M-shaped profile and rolled edges.

By metal thickness

It happens from 0.4 to 1.5 mm. With increasing steel thickness, the cost of the structure and its service life increase.

For a metal picket fence optimal thickness metal - 0.5 mm for a length of up to 2 m.

By coverage

The canvas has a protective zinc layer, but is also subject to painting, which can be:

Polymer. Reliable coating. Made in production conditions on special equipment. If the technology is followed, such material can withstand any mechanical loads and temperature changes. Even if damaged, the surface does not rust and lasts a long time. Depending on the manufacturer, the warranty on the polymer coating ranges from 10 to 20 years. Big choice shades.
Poroshkov. This type of picket fence is cheaper, but the quality of the coating is lower. Of course, subject to compliance step-by-step technology it can last up to 10 years. But many manufacturers often neglect this and apply it on top of metal that is not protected from corrosion. powder paint. As a result, at the slightest scratch the surface begins to rust.

Unfortunately, when purchasing external signs It is impossible to determine the quality of the powder coating, so it is better not to pay twice and immediately buy a picket fence with a polymer layer of protection.

In addition, you can paint the planks yourself. To do this you will need roof paint and a spray gun.

If you want a fence with a unique picture and texture, you will have to buy factory material.

Photo: as protective material Powder coating is used

A metal picket fence imitating wood is gaining popularity. Available shades:

nut;
cherries;
bog oak;
aspen;
cedar and others.

A good coating allows you to recognize metal only at close range.

Pros and cons of such a fence

Advantages:

Long service life. The average service life of products exceeds 20 years.
Resistance to moisture, temperature changes, corrosion.
Does not require maintenance. Dirt is washed off the surface with water pressure from a hose.
Factory metal picket fence does not need painting.
Large selection of colors that do not fade in the sun.
Beautiful appearance.
Durability, resistance to mechanical damage.
The price is lower than similar wooden planks.
Does not require pre-processing, cutting or sanding.
Unlike corrugated sheeting, it provides good air exchange and allows light to enter the area.
Does not require repair.

Flaws:

Before you start fastening the picket fence, you need to accurately calculate the step with which it will be mounted. The slightest mistake will ruin the appearance of the fence.
When purchasing material with unrolled edges, there is a high risk of injury during installation and during use.

To build the fence, it is better to hire an assistant, this way you will significantly reduce installation time.

Methods for fixing pickets

If the design is needed for reliable protection house and will be located on the street side of the site, we recommend that you take into account that:

For installing blind panels and complete closure To protect your estate from prying eyes, you should buy pickets longer than 1.8 m, placing them from the ground at a distance of 3–5 cm.
If visibility of the area is not important to you, then it is enough to purchase planks 1.5 or 1.25 m long and secure them with gaps.

Now let's look at what methods of fixing a picket fence are used more often.

Vertical

A generally accepted option for installing planks. For construction, you do not need to know special instructions and attach additional transverse joists to increase the rigidity of the structure.

Each plank is fixed in a vertical position to the joists with screws or rivets. This can be done with gaps in one row or you can design a blank canvas in the form of a checkerboard fence.

Horizontal

Not as popular as the previous type, but if you follow the instructions, the fence will be no less attractive.

Installing picket fences horizontally is much more difficult. It will be necessary to attach additional poles, which often need to be non-standard shape. If this is not done, the planks will begin to sag, which will lead to deformation of the entire structure.

And an increase in the amount of materials for construction means an increase in the total cost of the fence.

Checkerboard

Another name is double-row. The planks are mounted to the transverse joists on both sides so that they overlap each other by at least 1 cm. To do this, the step between the stripes is made slightly smaller than their width. The fence turns out to be almost continuous and what is happening on the site is visible only from a certain angle.

For a completely blank canvas, it is necessary that the pickets overlap each other by half.

The disadvantage of checkerboard is that the material consumption per 1 linear meter increases by 50%.

In one row

An economical option for fastening picket fences, since the strips of material are fixed in one layer. Often gaps up to ⅔ of their width are left between the slats, but this is not critical. The step between the elements may be greater, or they may be attached closely.

Disadvantage: due to the gaps, the area remains completely visible.

Interesting design options for the top of structures

Most often found:

Less common is the design of the top line like a pyramid or wings.

The unusual spans will be complemented by a stone or brick base.

Calculation of the amount of material for the fence

It is carried out at the design stage of the structure. The future structure is schematically depicted on paper. The total length, quantity is determined support pillars, cross beams.

You need to calculate how much picket fence you will need after you have determined the height of the fence and the size of the installation step.

The volume of fasteners also depends on the amount of material. When fixing with self-tapping screws, 1 strip requires at least 2, and preferably 4, self-tapping screws.

Stages of installing a metal picket fence with your own hands

Let's consider the procedure for assembling a fence with pillars made of profile pipes on strip foundation. We will need:

welding machine with protective mask, electrodes;
galvanized self-tapping screws (ordinary iron ones will quickly rust);
bayonet shovel;
profiled pipes for poles measuring 60*60 cm;
pipes for horizontal logs – 2*4 cm;
roulette;
plumb line;
boards for formwork;
cement, crushed stone, sand;
concrete mixer or construction mixer;
cord;
screwdriver;
screwdriver.

The entire amount of work can be done alone, but it is much easier to cope with the process together, so if possible, find an assistant.

Foundation

Upon completion preparatory stage you can start marking. It is performed using wooden pegs and rope. The pegs are driven into the ground at the locations of the supports, and a rope is stretched between them.

The foundation for such a fence is not only strip. But this type is more reliable, more durable and suitable for massive structures.

Installation of poles

If you have chosen metal supports, remember what they need protective treatment from corrosion, and to make them more beautiful, before installation it is recommended to paint them to match the picket fence.

Attaching the log

Square or square pipes are used as transverse joists. rectangular section and welded to the posts.

Supports with ready-made holes for joists are available for sale. Then the fastening is done with bolts.

For fences up to 1.5 m high, two joists are enough. At higher heights, it is better to increase the number to three pieces. In this case, the fence will cope well with any wind loads.

The top of the pillars and the edges of the joists are protected with plugs, possibly plastic ones. This way, moisture will not get inside the pipes.

Installation of metal picket fence

There are 2 options for fixing the slats:

Self-tapping screws. You should only take galvanized ones, otherwise regular ones will start to rust after the first rain. Each plank is fastened with self-tapping screws to horizontal joists on both edges. If there are two lags, then 4 screws are enough for 1 plank. When there are 3 of them, you need 6 screws. The number of fastening elements may be less, but in this case the fence will be easy to disassemble. The advantage of self-tapping screws is the speed of assembly. The disadvantage is that they are easily unscrewed, which makes it easier for intruders to enter the site.
With rivets. The installation principle and number of parts are similar to the previous type, but take longer. In this case, it will be possible to disassemble the fence only from the inside of the site, and the outer part of the structure remains fully protected.

Regardless of the chosen type, all fastening elements are matched to the color of the picket fence.

For a transparent fence, the slats are fixed at a distance of up to 5 cm; for a solid fence, they must overlap each other by at least 30%.
