Many people know that installing a slate, stone fence or a fence made of metal profiles between the dacha plots located nearby is strictly prohibited. This is explained by the fact that deaf high cares contribute to the shading of space, preventing the penetration of sunlight. Since the dimensions of the dacha plots are small and every meter of land counts, the plants that grow along such fences begin to wither and ache. Often there are conflicts between neighbors about this.
In this case, it is best to equip the fence from the grid-chain-link, through which the sun's rays and air masses can freely penetrate. Such fences are also used for fencing sports fields, technical zones, various reservoirs and other objects. The most difficult is the installation of solid pillars for them.

Types of pillars
Most often for such a fence from the mesh-chain-link The following posts are used:
- wooden;
- concrete;
- metal;
- from asbestos cement pipes.
Wooden poles
The most profitable in the budget terms are wooden pillars, especially if there is a large forest or a woodworking enterprise nearby. The format of such supports is square or round.
The main advantages of such material are ease, availability and low cost. In addition, wooden poles are mounted fairly quickly without the use of professional equipment and special equipment. The installation of a grid-chain-link directly onto the pillars is also easy.
Despite these advantages, such material has disadvantageswhich are expressed in the practicality of operation. First of all it refers to the duration of service life. The tree is quite influenced by various climatic factors. Even if it is treated with soil mixtures, the period of operation will last slightly. It is necessary to periodically change the pillars, and, therefore, to carry out the installation of the entire fence. In addition, this material is not very durable.
Metal support for a fence from a grid chain-link
Metal fences can be:
- cylindrical shape in the form of a piece of metal pipe;
- have the appearance of a rectangular or square profile.
They are much more durable, have a large margin of safety and are resistant to temperature fluctuations. At the same time, this material has great strength and is able to withstand considerable loads. But this quality is completely irrelevant for fences from the chain-link mesh, because it does not have a large mass. Caring for metal pillars is not too troublesome, they should only be painted regularly. In comparison with wooden supports metal have a more attractive appearance.
However, such material has a high cost. In addition, the metal is exposed to corrosion and must be treated with special means. This entails additional costs and materials for installation.
In order to install metal pillars for the fence, it is necessary to strengthen their foundation in the ground by pouring concrete. Otherwise, due to its weight, the supports easily lose their stability and perpendicularity during operation.
Concrete support for a fence from a grid chain-link
Such pillars also possess certain advantages. They are considered the most durable, but their cost is quite high. Because of their weight, they are transported and unloaded using special equipment. However, all these efforts are worth the cost, as these supports have a long life. They are not afraid of such adverse manifestations as:
- moisture;
- wind;
- temperature fluctuations;
- corrosion.
Concrete support for a fence from a grid chain-link do not need regular repair and service. As a disadvantage, you can highlight the need for equipment for mounting the grid.
Asbestos-cement support for a fence from a grid chain-link
Such fences are considered one of the most practical. They have a low cost, have sufficient strength and long durability.
For use as pillars for the fence of the grid are mainly used asbestos cement pipe sectionshaving a diameter of 70 - 80 mm. They are lightweight and therefore convenient to transport and install. But due to the fact that the structure of such a material is rather fragile, it is recommended to install them so that they are not exposed to mechanical stress.
How to install pillars
First, carry out the marking of the site. If the perimeter of the territory to be protected has a rectangular shape, then you should first mark the places where the corner support posts will be located. If there are bends and turns on the installation line, then it is necessary to mark the places of bends simultaneously with the corner posts.
With the help of pegs mark the installation points of the pillars. Then, using the installed pegs, they pull a strong nylon thread or fishing line. This is necessary in order to determine the line of installation of intermediate supports, which are also marked with pegs. In these places you need to prepare well depth of 40 - 50 cm. Then at the bottom of the well arrange a sand pillow several centimeters high. On top of it is best to pour crushed stone of fine fraction and thoroughly tamp.
For metal, asbestos-cement and concrete supports, it is recommended to fill the concrete so that the fence of the chain-link mesh has greater stability. To this end, the bottom is filled with ready-made concrete and tamped. To further strengthen the asbestos-cement and metal poles, a concrete solution is poured into the internal cavity of the pipes.
If the structure of the soil allows, then the columns can be driven. This method is most suitable for wooden and metal poles, which mechanical effects are not terrible. Concrete poles are also able to withstand this procedure, but due to the large weight of the material, it is undesirable to carry it out.
Fixation of support pillars should occur strictly perpendicular to the ground and parallel to the supports that are close by. During installation no inclines are allowed in any direction. The distance between the supports should be 2 - 2.5 m. When installing them, make sure that the upper ends are aligned on the same horizontal level. If it is not possible to follow this parameter, then upon completion of the installation, extra centimeters are cut or sawed to level the top level.
Fastening of a grid chain-link to columns
In order to avoid sagging of the mesh-chain-link and in order to avoid crawling under it, raising the bottom edge, it is necessary use frame construction from a metal corner or profile. This frame is fastened with metal fasteners, which are fixed by welding on supports.
If such fixing of the chain-netting to the supports is impossible, then another method can be used. Medu pillars on the lower and upper edges of the steel wire diameter 5 - 6 mm. It will be used as a frame on which the netting chain should be attached.
So that there is no conflict with the neighbors because of the high deaf fence at the dacha, it is necessary to arrange the fence from the chain-link net. Its main characteristics are versatility, durability, transparency and ease of installation. The main thing is to properly install the pillars for such a fence, because they must be perfectly flat.
