Wooden fences and house fences - pros and cons

Why a tree? Because, firstly, it's beautiful. Any wooden fence elements, and any obstacles, perfectly match not only with stone or metal, but also with plastic and even with glass.

For example, wooden fences and house fences, the photos of which you see, are presented in combination, which can serve as constructive element   fencing, and just decorate it.


Secondly, one can attribute the relative cheapness to the advantages of wooden products. The cubic meter of standard sawn timber costs from 5500 to 6500 rubles depending on its quality.

Fence made of wood will cost you about 1.5 times cheaper than a fence of metal and about 3 times cheaper than a brick fence.

Thirdly, it is possible, while continuing the topic of economy, to lower the cost of wooden fencing, using, for example, 2 types of lumber.

The price of such lumber is from 2800 to 3300 rubles per cubic meter. Of course, for responsible elements such a board will not work, but for a fence - just right.

Now a little about the minuses.

The most important disadvantage of wooden products, which are used on the street - they need to be protected from moisture and ultraviolet radiation. That is, your budget will include impregnation or paint.

If you use an antiseptic, for example Senezh, then on top of it you still have to apply a decorative layer - paint or other coating.

If you just paint a fence of wood, then every 3-4 years you have to update the paint layer, removing the old one.

Also, an additional expense item will be hardware, with which you will attach individual wooden. The only exception is the wattle fence.


Well, finally, if you do not want to wave your hammer from morning till night, installing a wooden fence, you will need a nyler. Also, to exclude "calluses on the hands" from the hacksaw, you will need the simplest miter saw.
