The choice of material for the fence should be approached as responsibly as possible, depending on the speed of its installation, the cost of work and the appearance of the structure. Recently, people are increasingly choosing the most durable materials that are quickly installed and at the same time inexpensive. All these parameters correspond to the metal profile. It is a metal cold-formed sheet with an aluminum, zinc or polymer coating. The surface of the sheet can be smooth or decorated with convex corrugations of a trapezoidal shape.
Fences from the metal profile are often used to protect private yards, cottages and even industrial facilities. They have a number of important advantages, namely:
- For installation work, many tools are not required;
- installation can be done by hand, even without the experience;
- do not need a solid foundation;
- they do not need to be painted every year;
- have good soundproofing properties;
- completely hide the yard, allow you to create a secluded setting;
- resistant to corrosion and chemicals;
- Galvanized fences will last you up to 30 years, fences with a polymer coating - up to 45.
From the drawbacks of the fence from the metal profile, one can distinguish susceptibility to impacts and scratching. On metal, there are easily traces of sharp metal objects and dents from strong impacts, so when buying try to choose sheets with additional stiffeners and a thick layer of metal.
Fence design from metal profile
So, how can you make a fence using metal sheets? The most popular design options are:
- Fence made of bricks and metal . As a basis for fixing the corrugated board there are brick poles, which are supported by a foundation. For combined fence, a strip foundation with built-in fittings is well suited. Sheets of metal profiles are attached to profile pipes, which are installed on pre-prepared vertical posts. In this case, most of the time is spent on arranging the brick pillars and pouring the foundation. The installation of the sheets takes only a few hours.
- Fence made of metal with forging. To somehow refine a laconic metal fence people use elements of forging that are attached to the upper part of the structure. This can be an openwork weave, peaks or even an imitation of a vine. Very beautiful look forged gates with inserts of corrugated board. Due to the inserts, you can save on overpaying for the material and make the design of the gate even more unique.
- Classic fence . The cheapest and simplest version of the fence. Prrofnastil is attached to the support posts with lags attached in advance to them. Metal sheets are fixed by means of screws, sometimes for additional fixing use steel rivets. In this case, it is possible to install a fence both on a perfectly flat surface and under an incline (stepped construction).

Types of corrugated sheets
Depending on the desired visual effect, you can use different types of metal profiles. So, for the creation of a strict and concise fence, the sheets without a pattern with a saturated, pronounced color will do. The most popular sheets are blue, bard, red, brown or green. If you want something original and non-standard, then build a fence from the metal profile under the stone or under the tree. Thanks to a realistic imitation of natural materials, passers-by will get the impression that you really used wild stone or wooden dice. But with close consideration, this illusion will certainly be dispelled.
