Types of fences

Before you begin drawing up diagrams and plans for how your fence will look, you need to pay attention to the fundamentals of the fence — spans and support columns; the durability of the fence depends on these elements, usually the columns and spans are made from the same material, but often the owners themselves combine different materials .

But before fantasizing about the form of the fence, you need to clarify some legislative norms: For example, you have the right to put a high (above 180 cm) fence only from the side of the road and the facade. The height of the fence between neighbors should not exceed 180 centimeters, or such a fence should be made of a transparent material (mesh or picket fence) if the envelope exceeds this value in height.

We draw your attention to the fact that you can use absolutely any materials but you need to consider the size of the building and landscape. For example, a low fence around a two-story building will look ridiculous.
