Log fences have long gone out of fashion, as their practicality leaves much to be desired: logs rot quickly.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topsovety.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/fdfgfd.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6186\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stone fences are expensive, so most people prefer corrugated sheets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I wouldn&#8217;t say it&#8217;s an unsuitable material. Corrugated sheets have decent qualities, as long as the sheets are at least 0.45 mm thick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a 2-meter-high fence, at least three guides are required. 40&#215;20 mm profile pipe is ideal for this purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topsovety.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/gfd.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6184\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>However, 50% of builders forget one important detail. Look at the photo above. What do you notice?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I understand that when it&#8217;s summer, you want to hide in the shade as quickly as possible. But here you need to put up a fence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When all thoughts are occupied with the upcoming vacation in a cool place, many do not think about where and how to drill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In our gardening community, every other fence doesn&#8217;t have a bottom gap. Let me clarify: the bottom edge of the fence should be 7-10 centimeters above the ground. I&#8217;d also like to point out that this edge should be smooth, while the top edge should be rough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topsovety.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/hgfdfgfd-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6185\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Another improper fence installation. The consequences are inevitable in the spring.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the error isn&#8217;t particularly critical in summer, it makes a significant impact in winter. Snow is cleared from the driveway &#8220;down to the asphalt.&#8221; This means snow accumulates on the area, eventually reaching a depth of 70 centimeters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When warmer weather arrives, the snow begins to melt during the day and refreezes at night. As a result, it becomes heavier, putting pressure on the corrugated sheet, causing it to bend outward.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>And in the spring, an unpleasant surprise awaits the owners of the plots.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topsovety.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/scale_1200-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6183\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even a small 5-centimeter gap can help avoid this situation. Consider this: animals won&#8217;t be able to squeeze through such a gap, but the corrugated sheets will remain straight. Furthermore, air will flow through the gap, circulating throughout the area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The most popular material for building a fence on a property is corrugated sheet metal.
