How to build a fence from a metal profile with your own hands?
First you need to measure the perimeter of the fence and calculate the amount of material required. Then prepare all the necessary equipment, tools and material for carrying out assembly manipulations. This will require:
- sheet metal sheets;

- transverse metal lags;
- gravel;
- self-tapping screws;
- welding machine;
- rope, level;
- drill;

Consider how to make a fence from the metal profile with your own hands.
- At the initial stage, the territory is cleared from the garbage for the fence and the exact marking of the future construction is made.
- In all corners of the plot, pegs are placed along the fence line, a rope stretches between them. The points of installation of entrance gates and wickets are marked. The places of installation of support racks are noted, between them usually the distance is 2.5 m.
- At the second stage of the installation of the fence from the metal profile, the installation of support poles is made by oneself. First, holes are drilled with a hand drill. For a higher fence, deeper depressions are needed for supports.
- The holes are clogged with pillars to a depth of 1.2 m. On the bottom you can fill in fine gravel. During plugging, it is necessary to monitor the position of the metal pipe. It must be installed exactly vertically. For the gates, supports are suspended on strong canopies that will open.
- If, after clogging, the upper part of the rack is deformed, then it can be cut off by a bulgarian. After that, all the supports should be installed plastic plugs, so that they do not get water.
- The next stage is the installation of horizontal lags. Electric welding for them is the most durable method of fixing. The logs are welded to the pillars in two rows. The upper and lower rows are fixed at some distance from the edge of the supports.
- Further all welding seams are ground and dyed.
- For the strength of gates and wickets it is important to install several support ties between posts. They are made removable, bolted.
- The final stage is the installation of metal sheets. They overlap. For fixing, roofing screws are used.
- The fence is ready. From the outside it looks like a solid plane without seams.
- Sheets are produced in different color palette. The shade can be chosen according to your preferences and get an excellent fence. For the beauty of the pillars you can overlay a brick or stone.
The fence made of metal sheets looks good, it is durable and practical. Such material easily tolerates temperature changes, rain, frost and wind. Extra costs for the maintenance of such a facility is not required. If scratches appear on the sheets, they can be removed with a spray can with the necessary paint, which is best purchased immediately when purchasing material for the fence.
As you can see, installing a fence from the metal profile with your own hands is a feasible work that can be solved without inviting masters. He will protect himself from unnecessary looks and extraneous sounds and will serve for many years.
