Fences from a professional flooring: pros and cons

Sheeting is a comfortable and very attractive material, based on strong steel that can withstand harsh weather conditions. It is from it that you can make a durable and reliable fence in the shortest possible time, and installing it yourself will not be difficult. In order to purchase high-quality materials, it does not hurt to know in advance what kind of fences are from corrugated flooring. The pros and cons of such structures should be the main selection criteria.

Features: advantages and disadvantages

Any profiled sheeting is a steel profile (or profiled sheet), which has already been painted and treated using special chemical compounds that provide it with corrosion protection. Polymers that are quite resistant to direct sunlight are used as coloring materials.A fence painted with high-quality polymer paint for a long time does not fade and does not change its original color.

Among the main advantages of corrugated fences should be highlighted high wear resistance during operation, however, it should be noted that in the process of cutting sheets they should not be damaged in any way.

In order to properly and accurately cut this material, you need to use only a hacksaw or special scissors intended for cutting metal. Of course, the jigsaw cuts much faster, but it cannot be used: the steel heats up quickly and the galvanization will be damaged, which will lead to further corrosion.

The colors with which steel sheets are painted are both universal (brown, dark green), and any other - it all depends on the wishes of the customer. You can choose any color of the fence, even multicolor, and this is another undoubted plus. It is also always possible to order sheets according to individual sizes, which will ensure high-quality installation of the fence on the site where there are natural irregularities or slopes.The fence made of corrugated flooring is quite resistant to various weather factors, it is well able to withstand the wind to a certain degree (provided the installation is reliable).

Since the sheets are sold immediately painted, it is not necessary to paint the finished fence.that is also very convenient and practical. Besides, at the price any professional flooring is always more accessible, than a steel, wooden or stone fence. The fencing of the profiled sheet is both durable and light at the same time, therefore, it does not require laying a heavy foundation. If any parts of this design are damaged, they can easily be replaced, and the installation time, on average, does not exceed one day.

It should be noted that the sound insulation properties of corrugated flooring are also good, which could be another reason for choosing this type of fencing.

Of course, along with the advantages of profiled has a number of disadvantages and features that you need to pay attention. Since the sheet steel, from which the lining is made, has a small thickness (not more than 1.5 mm), unfortunately it is easy to cut it with a knife. If the sites are not protected, thieves can easily penetrate them.Moreover, if the screws, which are used to fasten the entire structure, do not have additional fastening, it is not difficult to simply unscrew them with a conventional screwdriver. Therefore, it is important to take care to protect the structure from burglary to the maximum. There are several good ways to do this.

You can avoid the fact that the screws will be loosened by attackers. To do this, you should install professional sheets using rivets, which will increase the price due to the laboriousness of this work for specialists (all lags will need to be further drilled). Recently another original method was invented: the fence itself is installed on ordinary screws, however each professional sheet receives additional fasteners in several places at once. As the fastener, either the same self-tapping screws with bored edges, or rivets (from four to six pieces per one sheet of professional flooring) are used. The edges of the screws are reamed at the end of the installation process so that they cannot be unscrewed with a screwdriver. If you can buy screws that have non-standard "heads", they are also well suited as an additional protection.The owner will receive a kind of "secret" for his fence, by analogy with the protection of automobile wheels from twisting.

Since the construction of corrugated sheeting is characterized by solid metal sheet sheathing, with strong gusts of wind, it will “behave” in the same way as a large sail, which is fixed on several pillars. This is called a large sail: if the squall wind rises, it creates a large force that goes horizontally. This force can easily turn the whole structure out. As a rule, such a nuisance occurs when the supporting pillars are not securely fixed, are at a shallow depth and cannot keep the sheets from strong gusts of wind. Over time, the fence begins to "lead" and warp, and the main functions of the gate and gate will suffer first: they will jam, because the locking tongue will not fall into the receiving opening.

In order to best protect the structure from winds, during its installation it is necessary to follow the rules for fixing the pillars in the ground. The pillars must be dug into the ground to a depth of at least one meter, and the foundation of the fence must be securely fastened using concrete for this purpose.Concreting is a prerequisite for any soil, especially when it comes to loam or sandy varieties.

The cross-section of the intake pole is usually small (about 60x60 mm), so if it does not have concrete reinforcement, then at gusts of heavy wind the structure will “hang out” from side to side. A reliable fixation is necessary, and not only the part of the pillar that goes into the ground, but also of the entire base, along its entire length underground (not partial, but full concreting). These measures will help the owner of the fence of corrugated board to avoid its deformation due to severe weather and climatic conditions.

Windage can be reduced if the installation does not use solid profiled sheeting, but a fence made of it. The fence can be made in two rows, displacing them relative to each other so that the area is completely closed from the views of strangers. This option is much safer, aesthetically better looking, but its cost will be higher.

Rust spans is one of the undesirable, but typical features of all metal fences. The decking itself is covered outside with special compounds,which protect it from rust, but the pillars along with the lags are made of ordinary steel, and even pre-priming sometimes does not save from rust. This is due to the fact that at the fixing points (in the holes that are made for self-tapping screws) the integrity of the protective coating is broken. After moisture gets in there, corrosion can occur as early as the first few months after the start of operation of the structure.

A similar problem begins where horizontal lags are joined together, namely in the places of their welding. It is known that any welding work is accompanied by high temperatures, due to which dross occurs on lags due to primer burnout. In such places, even very resistant paint quickly begins to peel off, and inevitable corrosion processes occur.

Owners of fences made of corrugated board have a fair question about its full protection against rust. Unfortunately, there are no ways to fully protect, but there is a method that will help to slow down this process, and it should be applied during installation. When installing the frame, all metal elements must be grounded, and the frame itself is painted, preferably in two layers.There are types of fences with parts that have undergone a complete anti-corrosion treatment during their production, but all this is much more expensive.

The steel frame and all its elements need to be painted at least once every few years, which means it is confronted with technical difficulties. The fact is that it is ideal to paint the frame without “hitting” the sheet itself with a brush with paint, it is unrealistic because it is very tightly attached to the elements of the frame base. There is a good way out, consisting in the use of masking tape during dyeing. It will help to observe accuracy, having prevented hit of paint on professional sheets.

Despite the specifics of the fences of corrugated board and the disadvantages associated with their use, you should not abandon their purchase and installation, because both the advantages and disadvantages are characteristic of any fence. If it is a question of installing a metal profile fence, which would be inexpensive and served for a long time (provided it is properly installed and maintained), then decking is still the most suitable option. As for the shortcomings, then if you apply skills, they can be minimized.

Kinds

Fences made of corrugated board are very diverse, and they are usually divided into at least three main types.

The most common option is solid type fenceswhose height does not exceed 3 m. Among them there are also very light two-meter welded fences consisting of metal inserts and columns, which are closed from the top with plugs to avoid ingress of moisture and dust inside. The cap can be made in the form of an attractive decorative element.

High fence (its height varies from 3 to 6 m) is used as a reliable fencing of any industrial enterprise or warehouse. This design reliably protects the territory from prying eyes and reduces the likelihood that it can be penetrated by vandals or other intruders.

Highest fences (to 6 m) are put along high-speed highways, carrying out a noise-insulating role. The panels of such fences are made in the form of “sandwiches”, inside of which a layer of mineral wool or penoizol is laid. Low fences (no more than 4 m in height) are installed as fences of small cottage villages.Regardless of the height, any fence can have different degrees of sound insulation and strength of the supporting structure and its individual elements.

Dimensions

Regardless of which profile sheet is chosen for the construction of the fence, the first thing you need to know is the exact standard dimensions of the flooring. This will help build a fence and minimize waste. It is better to purchase the material, having one running meter in stock and remembering that the professional sheets are held together by overlapping - one on another. If you plan to put a long fence, the stock should be more than a meter. Below are the standard sizes of the most popular types of sheeting used in construction. What sizes have other varieties, you can check with the manufacturer.

Sheet C-8:

  • total width - 1.20 m;
  • useful width (working) - 1.15 m;
  • sheet thickness - 0.4-0.8 mm;
  • wave height - 8 mm;
  • the distance between the waves is 115 mm.

Sheet C-10:

  • total width - 1.16 m;
  • useful width (working) - 1.10 m;
  • sheet thickness - 0.4-0.8 mm;
  • wave height - 10 mm;
  • the distance between the waves is 100 mm.

Sheet C-20:

  • total width - 1.15 m;
  • useful width (working) - 1.10 m;
  • thickness - 0.4-0.8 mm;
  • wave height - 18-30 mm;
  • the distance between the waves is 137.5 mm.

Sheet C-21:

  • total width - 1.51 m;
  • useful width (working) - 1 m;
  • profile thickness - 0.4-0.8 mm;
  • wave height - 21 mm;
  • the distance between the waves is 100 mm.

Constructions

A fence with metal pillars implies that a pipe of metal of a certain length and diameter will act as each of the pillars. Corner pillars are installed in the marked places, and the pillar must be one-third of its length deepened into the soil. This will provide the best level of resistance to strong winds. All holes after installation of pipes must be completely filled with a high-quality mortar made of concrete. The connection of the pillars with each other is carried out using formwork from the same concrete. It will provide a fence a longer life.

The marking should be carried out in such a way that the pillars are at the same distance from each other. You should always ensure that the first sheet of corrugated sheet was fixed exactly. It is necessary that in the future the design does not "leave" sideways. A modular or sectional fence is called so, because in this case a certain number of leaf profiles are ordered. The construction itself can already be partially assembled: for example, you can often find sheets that are already attached to poles on sale. Each individual sheet is a module (or section).The advantage of the modular variety is that the pillar can either be hidden with a sheet from the outside, or leave it as it is (at the request of the customer).

Any design can be horizontal or vertical. The horizontal fence looks so that the longitudinal lines are always visible either from the street side or from the inside. More simply, the “waves” of the fence look like convex horizontal lines. The installation of the pillars is carried out in accordance with the length of the sheeting. Professional sheets are attached to the posts, but you can also attach them to horizontal lags. They will fully withstand the load, because, being attached to the pipes, they are a strong fence frame. A vertical fence looks like its “waves” are arranged in the form of vertical lines, and its installation is carried out by analogy with a horizontal structure. The only difference is that all the pillars are placed at a distance from each other equal to the width of the profiled sheet.

There are fences of corrugated on screw piles. The method will cost a little more than ordinary pillars, concreted along the entire length, but the installation of such a fence will be much easier, and the ability to withstand heavy loads during operation is much higher.In addition, if the building is in an unstable ground, this method is unique and the only true in order for the supporting structure to be as reliable and durable as possible. The fence on screw piles can be used repeatedly and in the event that the installation of high-quality temporary fencing is necessary.

In order to assemble such a fence, piles markings of CBFS are usually used. Their maximum length is 5 m without taking into account the tip. If the span length is planned to be 2 m, then the diameter of each pile is 57 mm, and with a span length of 2 to 3 m, the diameter of the pile is 76 mm. Screwing of the piles into the soil is carried out so that the screw part is located even lower than the depth at which the soil freezes.

Some people think that installing a fence on screw piles requires special construction equipment, but this is not quite so. Work can be done manually. The main thing is to have three people for this purpose. The task of the first is to support the pile and ensure that it stands strictly vertically, not leaning in any direction. The other two with the help of a special key with levers press on the pile axis, scrolling it deep into from left to right. Thus, the support post slowly sinks into the ground.After the installation is completed, for greater reliability, you can use concrete fill, install plugs in the form of plugs made of strong plastic.

Materials

As the simplest material for the fence is very popular is an inexpensive mesh chain-link, made of durable metal. The installation technique is very simple: first, round-shaped pillars burst into the ground, and then the net itself stretches. The chain-linkage is attached to the posts with a stretch, so that its sagging under its own weight does not arise later. The construction is fixed with the help of ordinary metal wire, and for aesthetic purposes, before the grid is installed, it is best to make a small border. The distance between the pillars should be no more than 2.5 m, which will also prevent the occurrence of its sagging. It is better to use concrete posts, but they can also be made of wood or metal. In any case, the pits must first be filled with rubble and sand, ensuring that the pillars remain in a strictly upright position. This is followed by a concrete cast.

Color solutions

As an additional protection of profiled sheets, in addition to anti-corrosion coatings, their staining is used with resistant polymer dyes of different colors.Due to this, not only does the material's resistance to external factors increase, but the sheets themselves look nice and pleasant. By the way, the price of the painted fence will not be much higher than on simple sheets covered with aluzinc or other protective material. Colored corrugated is much more resistant to sunlight, because the paint does not fade and is not afraid of sudden changes in temperature. In addition to the reliability of coloring, the main advantage is the color palette, thanks to which there is always the opportunity to choose the most suitable tone or shade in accordance with the general style in which the house and the plot are decorated.

The colors of metal sheets are now determined by the German standard RAL. This palette helps buyers to understand which shade will be the most preferred in a particular case. The color space was divided into several zones, each of which was decided to assign an uncomplicated digital combination. Classical standardization provides for 213 colors and their shades: for example, only yellow in it - as many as 30, and green - 36. The code for each color consists of four numerical designations.This is what greatly facilitates the selection of any desired color for the fence. RAL separation always turns out to be an indispensable “helper” when you need to choose a professional sheet for materials that are already available, or if you need to replace or extend several sections of the fence.

Usually, dyeing is carried out only on one side of the metal sheet, but it is possible to order a double-sided version when the paint is on one side and the other. You can also order and painting in different colors, which will open up the scope for the most daring design ideas. If the fence is bright, it will help to visually expand the space in the case when the plot is of a modest size. The use of dark color helps to divert attention from the fence, so that it is not much conspicuous. The classic dark green version of the fence will be a harmonious addition to trees and shrubs, and if you buy a white fence, then you can draw on it a picturesque graffiti or other drawing.

Which is better to choose?

In order to choose the right metal profile, it is important to know that each professional sheet has its own technical designation based on the level of strength.Also, the durability of the fence and its resistance to environmental influences directly depend on the quality of the protective coating. As already mentioned, depending on the requirements that may be made to the fence, wall profile flooring is divided into several categories. Each of them received the original designation of the letter "C" ("wall"), because the same type of material is used as wall covering. It differs from the roofing flooring in that the height of its wave, acting as a stiffener, may be greater. After the designation "C" is always followed by a number. The higher it is, the more rigidity a professional sheet has, which means that the load in the form of strong gusts of wind will be less scary to it.

  • Professional flooring of the S-8 brand just originally planned for wall sheathing. 8 is the height of a symmetric wave in millimeters. This is the most inexpensive option available on the market, but its level of reliability may be insufficient: if the fence is too high with a large span, such material is easily deformed by wind or mechanical effects.
  • Sheet brand C-10 more durable than the previous one. It has a symmetrical configuration of the waves, weighs a little and much better protects the area from intruders and winds. As for the cost, it is an order of magnitude more expensive than the C-8, but also serves much longer, maintaining an attractive appearance and not giving in to random shocks.
  • Profiled C-14 - the best option for installation on a frame basis and is suitable for fences that are planned to be created where the weather conditions are more severe and the mechanical effects are more frequent. Unlike previous species, this brand has a higher anti-vandal characteristics. Especially attractive for buyers is its trapezoidal shape. This plain figure version is often used for decorative purposes when facing the main gate.
  • Mark C-15 - universal version, easily recognizable by wide ribs. The designation of those types of materials that can be installed both on the roof, and for the fence, and on the house facade begins with the 15th number. If you arrange the fence in this form, it will look very original and unusual.
  • C-18, C 20 and 21. All three types are distinguished by a higher degree of strength, which makes it possible to use them as fences in the most unfavorable weather and climatic conditions. Outwardly, they are virtually indistinguishable from each other, but if you need to create a fence more than 2.5 m in height, it is best to use C-21 decking.

To make the right choice of material, you should also take into account the features of the terrain: not only the climate, but also the relief-landscape characteristics. For example, if a small height fence is needed, and there are few winds in a given area, then the most inexpensive C-8 and C-10 brands can be used. If the space is open, and the fence itself is high, it is best to choose brand C-14 and above. If you plan to install a fence with a high degree of stability and strength, you should choose only the brand C-20 or C-21. When choosing, you should also be aware of which protective coatings are used for metal sheets.

You can not put an expensive type of coating on steel of poor quality, and cheap paint - on expensive steel.

Before you finally decide on the choice, it doesn’t hurt to get acquainted with What protective compounds can be covered profile sheets:

  • Zinc - The cheapest option, which does not have a presentable appearance, but is quite durable, serves for a long time. Galvanized steel corrugated flooring is rarely used as a fencing of residential premises. Most often, fences are made from it for industrial premises, warehouses and temporary zones (for example, if large-scale residential or commercial construction is conducted in one place or another). A galvanized steel sheet is the best way to protect a large area: securely, firmly and inexpensively.
  • Aluzink - mixed coating consisting of zinc and aluminum. It looks beautiful, but is used exclusively for production purposes. It differs in that it can be subjected to repeated staining or repainting, however, it is recommended to use only high-quality acrylic paints for metal, which is accompanied by additional financial investments.
  • Polyester - an ideal covering in the event that it is planned to design a fence for the private house or giving. Polyester is a unique synthetic material with high resistance to any weather conditions.He doesn’t care for solvents and dirt, and if it does appear, it can easily be washed off with a water jet sprayed from a hose or pump. Polyester gloss looks cozy, presentable and pleasing to the eye and always looks new and tidy.
  • Pural or Plastizol - the most expensive types of coatings, but also the most reliable, making them widely used in the field of high-end construction. The life of such a fence is calculated for 10 years or more. If you calculate its cost, multiplying by the time of use, it may also turn out that this fence will eventually cost the owner much cheaper than a cheap building that can quickly become unusable.

How to calculate?

To correctly and quickly calculate the materials for the construction of the fence of corrugated board, it is recommended to use a special program-calculator. The program is available and easy to use. It is necessary in turn to bring in the electronic estimate such parameters as length, height of the fence, type of lags and pillars, whether the foundation is planned, whether there are turns on the site, and so on. After all the necessary data have been entered, the calculator itself will calculate the approximate cost of materials.

Assembly work

In order to build a fence made of corrugated flooring with your own hands, you must first determine which perimeter will have a fence, then install the posts and support columns. Only then can the foundation be made and the professional sheets themselves be fixed. The height of the fence should be immediately noted on the drawing, remembering the quality of professional sheets used. It is known that it is recommended to plan a large height of the fence only in the case when high-quality metal profiles are used.

That's all the steps to create such a fence.which, with proper assembly and good care, can last more than twenty years. Moreover, if there is a skill and a desire to do everything on their own, no complicated technical tools will be needed. All that will need a master for the manufacture of the fence - this is the necessary set of tools and building materials. Of course, you will need metal sheets themselves, support elements (they can be made in the form of pipes or pillars of various shapes), long ropes for marking the territory, primer and sand, an apparatus for welding and a screwdriver with drills of various sizes. Also a very important tool when working with metal sheet is a riveter.It will help to fasten the sheets on the support pillars and correctly connect them to each other.

The poles used to securely fix the profiled sheet are made of different materials. Immediately, you should exclude and not use wooden supports: they are unstable to water, react badly to temperature changes and dry quickly and deform under the influence of direct sunlight. If, after all, it was decided to opt for wooden supports, they will need to be pre-treated with a special compound for protection. The best option is always considered to be supports made of steel, which are in no way inferior to the professional flooring in terms of operation time. In order to protect them from corrosive processes, they should also be treated with a composition in the form of an impregnation or a resistant coloring agent. Supports made of concrete are used infrequently, but they can increase the reliability and stability of the structure. To use them, it will be necessary to make a solid foundation, which will cost the master a little more than what could have been planned in advance.

The installation scheme of the metal profile fence is quite simple and usually,It includes three stages: the process of marking the territory, the creation of the foundation and the installation of pillars and installation work on the fastening of the profiling sheet itself.

The markup must be done as accurately as possible. In its process, it must be determined where the gate, the fence itself and the gate will be located. It is important to know that the distance between the supports in the form of pillars should be no more than 3 m. The length and height of the fence, as already mentioned, should be determined based on the characteristics of the soil, the quality of professional sheets and the goals with which this or that type is established. fencing The diameter of pipes (or pillars) with a circular cross-section should be 77 mm, and if the cross-section is square, 5x5 mm. To prevent water from penetrating the inside of the pipe, the holes on the top should be brewed with the installation of a decorative cap for greater reliability and a decorative effect.

The recommended width of the pits for supports should be about 15 cm, and their minimum depth is one third of the size of the post in length. If we ignore these simple but important calculations, the design will be very flimsy, and it will quickly “lead” to the side under its own weight of metal sheets.The pillars themselves should be further strengthened by filling the sand along the bottom of the dug trench. Gravel should be used as a second layer for backfilling: this will prevent the pillars from contacting the ground, which tends to swell. After the preparatory work should be put a pillar in the pit, controlling its integrity, and pour it with a solution of concrete of good quality. You can use reinforcement as an additional reinforcement, it should be borne in mind that the fastening of the pillars is carried out with steel supports with double-sided welding (the structure cannot be left in these places without welding). Concrete pouring will completely harden only after 3-5 days.

After the foundation dries, you can begin to install lags. Usually the logs are made of a metal pipe with a section of 4.0x2.5 cm. If you plan to build a fence no higher than 1.70 m, two lags will be enough, and if the fence is higher, then you will need to install three pieces. The upper and lower strips are mounted at a distance of 50 mm from the supporting edge, and their fixation to the posts is carried out by an apparatus for electrical welding.To prevent corrosive processes in steel constructions, it is necessary to remember to treat them with the help of a special chemical composition. Attention should be paid to the fact that the liquid should be applied just when the lags are being mounted, and the sheets are not attached to them yet. Otherwise, evenly apply the composition to all steel elements simply will not work.

When installing a fence, it is important to consider the type of soil you have to deal with. In the presence of soft-textured primer, there is a big risk that the construction will begin to sag over time. To avoid this, you should build a foundation throughout the entire perimeter of the installation of the fence. Skilled craftsmen strongly recommend in this case to build a fence on the strip foundation. The strip foundation with shallow deepening is established as follows. A trench 20 cm deep is dug out over the entire perimeter of the site, then wooden formwork is made, and waterproofing works are carried out using roofing felt. Pre-prepared concrete solution will need to be poured into the pit. Thus, the fence will acquire additional resistance to seasonal movement of the soil.

Finally, the profile sheets themselves are installed, which are fixed to the logs with rivets and dowels. Metal profiles are overlapped. To avoid injury to sharp metal edges, all work should be carried out with gloves, and in order to carefully cut the metal, you need to use special types of scissors or a hacksaw.

How to decorate?

Proper decoration of fencing begins with the foundation. How accurately and efficiently it will be made depends both on the appearance of the entire future ensemble and the durability of the fence itself and all its elements.

By the way, if the site has a solid strip foundation, this means that problems with the gap under the fence will never arise because of its technical absence.

Of course, the construction of this type of foundation requires time and certain financial investments, but it will fully justify itself in the future: there will be no weeds on the site that spoil the general form created by the owner, and the fence itself will not be subject to deformation and distortions.

If there is still no strip foundation, then the gap between the soil and the fence can be closed with the remains of a profiled sheet,wooden or plastic panels or boards that can be painted on their own to match the fence or in another color that will be in harmony with the main one.

In order to disguise the "hole" finally, it is recommended to land under a bushes fence: it is beautiful, eco-friendly and reliable. Shrubs that look best along the fence are recommended to plant curly types: honeysuckle, various bindweed, boxwood. Magnolia will look very beautiful, blooming yellow, especially in combination with green fencing. From the inside, the fence can also be decorated in various ways. You can hang the shelves and draw patterns on them with persistent acrylic paints, and then beautifully arrange the flowers in the pots, hang the climbing plants in pots. Shelves can also serve as storage space for garden tools during the warmer months.

Many owners of such fences are concerned about how to decorate the inside of the rack, because they may look too official and not very aesthetically pleasing. In this situation, it is recommended to attach to the pillars a metal structure in the shape of the letter “P”, on which you can hang the same pots or a basket with plants.This uncomplicated technology in the design environment is called the “method of creating vertical greenery”. In addition to decoration, it also serves as a source for creating the effect of spatial expansion on the site.

When creating decorative elements for the fence, it is important to remember that they serve as an additional way to decorate the site. First of all, care should be taken to properly design the house itself and the main entrance. In this case, harmony is ensured by the fact that both the central house facade and the fence are decorated with similar elements evenly distributed over the entire area. Themselves posts or racks are often decorated with the help of "caps" with a resistant clinker coating. There are many similar parts on sale, and their size can be ordered individually. You can decorate the pole from the inside by applying good lighting with the help of LEDs that are resistant to the influence of the external environment.

If the profile sheets are plain and their colors are classic and not too bright, you can place forged patterns of any shape on their background, ranging from variants in the form of plants to geometric shapes.The fences with forging elements placed in the form of figured elements above the sheets of the metal profile, and not just against its background, look very impressive. If the owner is not satisfied with too simple and strict appearance of the fence, you can trim the upper part of the professional sheets, and then the fence will get a very attractive look. Most often, pruning is in the form of an arc, and the middle part of the sheet is left higher than the rest. The shaped method of cutting metal profiles is in harmony with forging.

As for the direct production of metal profiles used throughout, the leading position belongs to the Petersburg company "Metal Profile". The productive volume of corrugated flooring per year has long exceeded the figure of 100 million cubic meters. This is not just a separate plant in one city, but a whole network of plants, most of which have been successfully operating for at least twenty years. The history of the Metal Profile company began, as usual, from a small-sized factory in the amount of one shop that the owner rents. Today, the plants under the name “Metal Profile” exist not only in Russia, but also in Kazakhstan and Belarus, and their total number is about twenty. The range of production is constantly expanding and has long been reached a decent European level.

The Metal Profile plants that have been opened recently are working on modern European equipment, and those that were once the first are not lagging behind new enterprises and are constantly being modernized, producing goods that fully meet the standards adopted in the company as a whole.The main secret of this huge and constantly developing company is that its suppliers of raw materials are the most reliable.
