Here is the do-it-yourself of our reader, a professional architect.

Build a wooden fence

Before proceeding with the real creation of a wood picket panels, reader - as well as architect, considered it appropriate to proceed with a meticulous survey of the spaces to be fenced, to define in detail the structure and type. After defining the surfaces to be perimetrated, the empty-full width on the wood fence, and the number of elements to be cut was easily obtained.

In particular, on a meter of length 5 elements were considered interspersed with spaces of 10 cm of width. Once the number of elements to be fixed has been obtained, the actual cut has been made with the aid of a circular saw, considering a total height of 70 cm, including the tip made with the classic 45 ° angles.

Subsequently, from the same fir boards were also obtained the horizontal streams and poles, the first of a thickness of 5 cm and of the same size of the length to be covered, the second also of thickness 5 cm and height 120 cm (or more, depending on the change in altitude of the land), so that they can be driven into the ground and give stability to the entire structure. All the boards have been fixed to each other with wooden nails, taking care to place each element in the right position.

What You Need

•Fir boards 100 x 2500 x 20.5 mm
•Steel angles
•Nails for wood
•Hinges for steel fences
•Steel latches for fences
•Self-tapping screws for cement
•Circular saw blade with fine-toothed blade for cutting wood to size
•Screwdriver
•High-performance colored water-based impregnating agent for outdoor use
•Compressor with spray gun for spray painting

In particular, each of the two horizontal streams has been positioned on the individual elements at 10 cm from the respective end, while the bearing piles have been nailed on the streams, aligned at the top and interspersed with distances of five to six elements. Where the latter required greater stability, they were fixed to concrete walls using specific self-tapping screws. In the changes of direction all the fences were anchored to each other with steel angles positioned on the streams.

In some points, due to the need to access some areas of the garden, 80 cm wide portions of fences have been transformed into small gates, equipped with hinges for fences and suitable latches. Once the fencing has been completed, all the surfaces have been spray painted, with the aid of a compressor equipped with a spray gun. Three passages of high-performance colored water-based impregnating agent have been given, for a better protection against atmospheric agents and for a new coloring of the wood, paying attention to drying times between one pass and another.]]> 2018-06-25 11:29:24 UTC https://padlet.com/cedarposts/stockade/wish/268451388
