The professional sheet is produced in different colors, shapes and patterns, so the material is successfully used to equip a stylish fence for summer cottages and urban areas. Beautiful fences made of corrugated board are made with combined inserts, sheets are used with decoration for stone, brick, wood. The fence of a wicket, a gate made of a profiled sheet with forging elements looks original. The material is chosen depending on the thickness of the base, the zinc coating, the type of polymer used for the top layer.

Pros and cons of corrugated board for the fence

Sheets can be mounted by any owner of a country house, summer house or city cottage with his own hands. The length of the sheet is usually 6–9 m, 12 m can be ordered, therefore connecting joints are excluded.

Material advantages:

• galvanized panels with a polymer layer are protected from the effects of chemicals and moisture in the atmosphere;
• the sheets weigh little, therefore they do not require a massive foundation for the fence, strong pillars, cranes for installation;
• on sale there are many colors, types of surface, there is a choice.

In case of improper cutting of sheets, careless transportation and installation, scratches appear on the zinc or polymer coating. Such areas quickly rust and collapse.

Specifications

Metal sheets are distinguished by the height and shape of the profile. They produce wall, roofing, structural decking. For fences, the first type of metal profile is used, usually they take grades C8, C20, MP20, C21 with a thickness of 0.5 - 0.7 mm. Choose a useful width of 1.8 - 2.2 m.

A running meter of a sheet weighs from 10 to 15 kg, therefore, a section with a length of 2 m will have a mass of 20 - 30 kg. They produce sheets of iron only with a galvanized coating, or apply a polymer coating on the surface, make textured embossing on the front side, use printed ornaments and patterns.

The protective layer is made of acrylic, polyester, plastisol polyvinyl chloride, a polyvinyl fluoride composition is applied.

Choosing a fence design

The fence is chosen so that its appearance is in harmony with the surrounding landscape. If the fence is buried in greenery, all green shades will make it featureless and expressionless. The color scheme should be in harmony with the color of the walls and roof of the house, emphasize the style of the building.

Owners choose:

• two-tone finish;
• decoration under a stone, brickwork;
• a combination of inserts of different materials;
• forged items;
• metal picket fence.

An individual design should not stand out against the background of adjacent areas and look ridiculous. A fence with a gate can be of a solid type or protrude as a visual border with visible gaps.

Color palette of corrugated board with polymer coating

The production technology guarantees the uniformity of the layer, the specified thickness, high functionality in outdoor conditions. To standardize shades, manufacturers use specially developed RAL and RR color cards.The colors of profiled sheets with a polymer layer in these tables are common and are used by all manufacturers of the material.

Some manufacturers make additional colors that are not in the catalogs, for example, bright green, lemon, orange, black, lilac. When choosing a color scheme, you need to look at the sheets in their natural form, since the color in the picture or on the monitor may be distorted.

Fences from one-sided colored corrugated board

The material is tinted according to the RAL system on one side, and the back plane is painted in metallic gray. Such panels are placed on the cladding of the roof, walls, and used for fences. A beautiful fence made of profiled sheet will turn out only from the face, the view from the yard will be neat, but unattractive. Bright colors change the emotional state, so the subtle inner color scheme will soothe.

One-sided material is placed on sections of the fence that surrounds the vegetable garden, garden, and the household part of the yard. The cost of such a profile is lower, and the interior design in these cases is not particularly important. To improve the view, bushes and flowers are planted inside near the fence, which will dilute the gray color.

Types of staining and variety of colors

The acrylic coating is presented on the surface with a mixture of paint and varnish. The layer is easily scratched, under the influence of the sun it changes color within 5-6 years. Acrylic paint has many shades and an attractive look.

Polyester on the surface is classified as an inexpensive and durable coating with a matte or glossy effect. The layer resists precipitation and frost well. For strength, polyester is applied with the addition of quartz sand crumbs.

Plastisol coating is considered to be the most durable of all decorative finishes. Types of fences for private houses made of corrugated board with stable plastisol withstand well the load from the wind, precipitation, temperature changes.

Fences made of corrugated board under a stone

The products are represented by a profile with trapezoidal waves with a polymerized thick coating. The pattern on the surface looks like natural stone masonry. Almost always there is a one-sided type of metal profile on sale.

Raw steel comes from Korea and European countries, and at Russian enterprises, corrugated metal with a stone pattern is profiled from it. The thickness of the covering layer 0.5 - 0.75 mm allows embossing, to obtain convex masonry elements.

A professional sheet with an imitation of natural or artificial stone goes well with a large amount of vegetation, creating natural compositions, emphasizing the individuality of the site.

Combination of profiled sheet with additional materials

The corrugated board is attached to the posts, the material of which must be combined with the surface of the painted metal profile. Most often, metal supports are used, which are tinted in calm or contrasting colors. The filling is a profiled sheet with an imitation of a stone or a monochromatic surface.

Other options are wood, brick pillars. The drawing on the metal can be in the form of brickwork, wood. Decorate inserts in a wooden or steel frame. Such a framing increases the strength of the section, so you can take a thinner metal, thereby reducing the cost of the fence design. Forging looks good against the background of any kind of profiled sheet.

Forged profiled decking

Metal profile fences in combination with forged parts allow you to get a beautiful fence. Types of corrugated board, combined with forging:

• sheets with embossed and patterned bricks;
• panels with imitation of natural and artificial stone;
• profile with the texture of different types of wood;
• material with a monochromatic coating.

Natural wood requires periodic processing, painting, but the profiled sheet retains a high-quality coating for a long time. In combination with forged ligature, such fences and gates will decorate the street. Forging increases the cost of the structure, because.belongs to the category of handicrafts.

Vertical inserts

Decking is combined with other materials that visually look like products from natural species. Metallic luster, dullness of monochromatic painted metal emphasize the nobility of natural materials.

For combination, use finishing options:

• figured cut edges and holes in sheets for inserts;
• decorative lattice or mesh at the top or bottom of the section;
• forging;
• registration of corrugated board in a decorative frame;
• vertical segments made of plastic, polycarbonate and other materials.

The grille adds visibility to the fence, as do polycarbonate inserts. This property of transparent additions must be taken into account so as not to open the view of the courtyard, if this is not provided.

Fences made of corrugated board for brick

Such fences look rich, massive, the fence turns out to be visually strong. The material is produced with imitation of white sand-lime brick or with a pattern of ceramic stone masonry. For supports, brick posts or metal supports are used, concrete racks are placed.

The masonry is combined with iron gratings from a profiled pipe, therefore, a profiled sheet of such a pattern is framed with a frame. The frame can be made of forged parts that harmonize beautifully with the brick wall. In the center of the section of the corrugated board, a vertical cut is made in the form of a recess, where metal rods with peaks at the end are placed.

Picket fence

Euroshtaketnik recently appeared on the domestic market. The material belongs to the products that are made according to the technology of the production of corrugated board. The base is also galvanized metal, which is covered with a layer of polymer paint.

A fence made of euroshtaketin looks like separate boards on a common fence run. Most often they use brown, blue, green, burgundy colors. If there is a wood pattern on the pickets, the border of the site looks like a wooden fence, which at first glance is difficult to distinguish from the real one. The difference lies in increased strength compared to natural material and in a longer service life.

One-sided sewing is darkened or boards are placed on both sides. A gap is left between them, which is recommended to be 45 - 50 mm. You can mount the elements solid to obtain a solid surface without gaps.
