The fence for the house is wooden. Ways to create a beautiful and original wood fence

Expanding the range of materials for arranging fences does not preclude the use of natural wood for this purpose. Monotonous fences in the past are left in the past, now there are many original design solutions proposed by both professional designers and self-taught craftsmen. To arrange a beautiful fence made of wood, it is not necessary to invest heavily. A creative approach can transform a traditional picket fence into an exclusive fence that attracts the attention of others.

Fencing functions

Preventing outsiders from entering private territory is a key function of the fence. But the desire to make a reliable fence beautiful is quite justified, because the decorative fence indicates the aesthetic taste of the owners of the site.

In addition to the main goal of protecting the territory, hedges are often set up to enclose pens with animals, design front gardens or zoning spaces. The design of a beautiful fence is chosen taking into account the functions assigned to it.

Wooden fences inside the summer cottage usually prefer the lightweight type, external fences vary significantly in height and "transparency". Each owner determines the need for a “blind” fence independently, but even such a seemingly heavy wooden structure is not without the right to be beautiful and attractive. The following photos are vivid proof of the above.

Lightweight construction

Wooden fences for private homes do not have to be tall and solid. There is no need to hide the interior decoration, reliable protection of the village allows you to stop the choice on lightweight options made of wood. The advantages of such a solution are many:

• Material acquisition costs are reduced.
• The installation process of a wooden structure is simplified.
• Installation work can be done by yourself.
• There are many model solutions for beautiful fences.

A support for a beautiful fence is a wooden beam, pipes made of metal or asbestos concrete.

Comment! The stability of the wooden structure is ensured by the deepening of the supports below the level of freezing of the soil and the presence of a sufficient contact area.

Concreting and forming around the columns of the base significantly increases the service life of the fence made of wood. Photographic examples of the competent installation of beautiful fences with their own hands are given below:

Massive fences

The cost of massive wooden fences is not less than brick or metal structures. An argument in favor of installing a beautiful fence can be a single architectural concept with the main house building, features of landscape design, the desire to become the owner of an exclusive fence.

A significant weight of the wooden fence requires the installation of reliable supports. There are two main options for solving the problem:

• The depth of concreting of the supports reaches the level of frost-resistant soil.
• A sand and gravel cushion is created and reinforcement is applied.

Pillars made of brick or stone can serve as supports. Such a foundation can be used longer than the fence made of wood, so there is the possibility to use it later for another beautiful fence of a new configuration. Characteristic feature  bulky wooden fencing is the inability to do it yourself, you have to use additional labor. Options for beautiful designs are presented in the photo:

Variety of materials and shapes

Beautiful wooden fences can be built from various lumber:

• boards;
• racks;
• logs;
• croaker;
• rods.

The choice depends on the planned costs and the overall style of the site. Based on the proposed materials, the following options are constructed for beautiful wooden fences:

• picket;
• wattle;
• ranch;
• grid or mesh;
• chess;
• ladder;
• picket fence and stuff.

The characteristics and photo examples of individual species will help determine the choice of a suitable beautiful fence.

Simplicity in manufacturing is distinguished by a picket fence. Even a novice master is able to build it with his own hands, it is enough to fill the boards with equal intervals on a horizontal base. As supporting pillars, a wooden beam or pipes can act. The height of the fence made of wood is chosen arbitrarily, it is often used in front gardens and for zoning a summer cottage. Achieving a beautiful appearance contributes to the original coloring.

Wattle has been familiar to people since ancient times. In the classical sense, this is a fence created from interwoven branches or twigs with vertical guides. The special decorativeness of a beautiful fence is appreciated when creating a Russian country style in landscape design.

But there is also a modernized version of the wooden structure, called the “wicker”. The essence of the formation has remained virtually unchanged, but the edged board is the basis. There are options and with the use of traditional vines. Original examples of a beautiful wooden fence are presented in the photo:

To make a fence fence with your own hands, you will need a large number of bars-rails. Ready-made panels are able to simplify the task of designing a simple wooden fence. Moreover, in addition to the designs familiar from childhood, there are many new original models.

American films about cowboys are full of frames with a demonstration of plain wooden fences, mainly used on ranches. The scope of their application gave the name of the design, which is the easiest way to do it yourself. Such a model is not suitable for external fencing, but it is quite appropriate to emphasize a certain area in a summer cottage.

All previous options have one feature - through them the interior decoration of the territory is viewed. And if you show private life to others there is no desire? Then it’s worth installing a solid beautiful fence made of wood. There are several interesting models, for example, chess. By the principle of assembly it resembles a picket fence, but the boards are packed in two rows, and a sufficient height makes the wooden structure a reliable barrier to outsiders. For clarity, the following are photos of a beautiful fence made in the form of a chessboard.

The wooden fence, in appearance resembling horizontal blinds, is called a ladder. There are two options - open design and blank fence.

Brings memories of the adventures of Robinson Crusoe stockade. Reliable wooden fencing is quite rare due to its high cost. Even durability does not outweigh the scales in favor of a beautiful picket fence due to the massive construction and installation difficulties.

The classic wooden fence is packed boards fixed on supports. You can achieve the original appearance if you paint the wooden fence beautifully. The decoration methods will be discussed later.

Decoration options

Painting is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to transform the look of the fence with your own hands. Even the simplest improvised materials made of wood become attractive, as evidenced by the following photo:

The picket fence is the most suitable fence model for the original painting. There are many design approaches. It is difficult to surprise with monotony, therefore, to become the owner of a beautiful fence, two or three colors or a whole range of colors are used. Moreover, their alternation may be of a different nature. The adjacent tones can contrast with each other or flow smoothly from one color to another. The association will be a rainbow or a box with pencils. The shades are chosen calm or bright, here a lot is determined by the environment and the size of a beautiful wooden fence.

Important! To decorate the fence of paint are purchased in high quality. In addition to color, their resistance to external factors is of great importance. Otherwise, soon the beautiful fence will fade and lose its former attractiveness.

Not everyone likes to hold the attention of those around with bright colors. In this case, a white wooden fence will look quite elegant. Do you find the solution impractical? Stay tuned for traditional shades of blue, green or gray.

You can make a fence beautiful not only with paints. It is enough to experiment with the height of the fence, and a simple design will look special.

The mastery of carpentry tools allows you to design your own exclusive version of a beautiful wooden fence.

A combined fence model is capable of hiding privacy from the eyes of passers-by and not visually weighting the structure, the lower part of which is represented by a continuous shield, and the upper is crowned with an air grill made of wood.

Seasonal solitude is facilitated by planting next to a climbing plant fence. Beautiful appearance even to a simple construction will be provided.

The house in the Cossack village with carved platbands will organically complement a beautiful fence with similar decor elements.

The fence consisting of tree cuts looks very extravagant.

The design approach is observed in the following version of a beautiful fence:

Fencing from boards assembled in different directions is another non-trivial solution.

Even pallets can become the basis of the fence. To achieve an aesthetic appearance will help coloring the tree.

As you can see, there are a lot of options to create a beautiful fence. The main thing is to show originality and creative ingenuity.

In recent years, the fashion for wooden buildings has led to the fact that more and more developers are thinking that a metal fence may not be the best solution. From the point of view of durability, maybe yes, but from the point of view of aesthetics, it is inferior to wood. A wooden fence has somewhat lost its popularity due to its short life: wood, with constant exposure to the sun and water, quickly collapses. To increase the service life, the protective coating in the form of paint has to be constantly updated. With a large length it takes a lot of time and requires a considerable amount of paint. This problem has become less acute, since the recent appearance of new antiseptics can extend the life of the fence, and also guarantee the stability of staining for several years. The term is different - from 2-3 years to 5-7. It depends on the type of antiseptic impregnation and the manufacturer, but finding "long-playing" is not difficult: in any more or less large store.

Moreover, these impregnations do not paint over the texture of the tree: all veins are visible. They just change color, usually to a darker one. Such a wooden fence looks solid and rich. Even a simple picket fence, and even difficult, and even more so.

What is important is that you can put a wooden fence on your own alone, if necessary, even without the help of assistants. Still important: a significant part of the work - the preparation of wood - can be carried out not on the spot, but, say, in a garage or workshop. And start it long before the start of construction. For example, from autumn to spring, and the construction itself should begin already in the established warm weather.

Wood is a very plastic material and the simplest thing can be done so that it looks like a work of art. This is also true for fences. If you wish, you can make such a "sweetie" that it’s nice to see. There are several designs of wooden fences.

Picket fence

The simplest is picket. This is a set of trim boards or planks of the same, usually width, nailed vertically to two or more transverse rails.

Scheme of a wooden fence from vertically nailed boards - picket fence

May differ in the shape of the top. He cut the floor 90 ° - the easiest option, but far from the best, and not only from the point of view of aesthetics. The top of such a shtaketin, even painted, is exposed to intense moisture, as a result, the coating in this place is destroyed first. And the wood pores in the perpendicular cut remain open. Rain, fog, melting snow / ice are absorbed by them, which leads to the destruction of wood. To avoid this, cut off the tops not under 90, but under 45 °. If you look at such a board in profile, then the top will be beveled (see the figure below).

The distance between two adjacent shtaketin is chosen according to your desire. You can make a solid fence by fitting one against the other, you can translucent, leaving a gap of 1-2 cm, or you can completely transparent with a large distance equal to the width of the boards or even more. Such options are popular for internal fences, which are more designed to separate zones and mark borders than to protect from something. For outdoor fences facing the street, they usually choose a continuous installation, maybe with a very short distance so that the boards do not “swell” in wet weather.

Add varieties sawn tops. They can be sharpened in different ways - with a rounded top, in the form of a peak, triangles, trapezoids. All this in different options and combinations.

The rounded top is the most popular. It’s more like an openwork fence, but decorative - like the tops in the form of lilies. The fence will be beautiful. Peaks and triangles - in combination and independently

Some even make works of art: a carved fence requires a lot of perseverance. Hard work, but the result is worth it.

Carved planks of the fence - beauty Beauty - carved fence from wood

Make curly tops faster and easier with a template. Cut a sample from a plywood sheet, bring it to perfect condition. Then you cut out the rest from this template. You can cut with a jigsaw or on a milling machine.

You can also buy a jig saw for such a case. All the same, even taking into account this expense item, it will turn out cheaper than buying finished carved shtaketin. The downside here is that it takes a lot of time, and the shtaketins turn out to be unequal: a file will go slightly to the right, or a little to the left. The edges then still have to be processed with sandpaper.

Buying a milling machine, if you do not plan to use it later, is unprofitable. And those who already have one can buy milling cutters with a floating head and make a figured fence with it. The height of the cutting part of the cutter is equal to the thickness of the board that you will process, and the head rests against the template.

In both cases, you will have to somehow fix the template to the workpiece. This can be done with thin nails or by gluing double-sided tape on the template.

But if you approach the process creatively, then even from even thin strips you can make a beautiful wooden fence: nailing at different angles.

The authors of this wooden picket fence made it even simpler: they only made the height nonlinear, emphasizing the relief with a bar nailed from above. This, by the way, is the second way to significantly increase the life of a wooden fence - the bar blocks access for water to the most vulnerable open transverse sections). The planks nailed on the surface in the form of frames also give non-linearity, and the wood inside is painted in a lighter color. Agree, original.

Wooden fence “chess” or “chess”

In fact, this is one of the subsets of the picket. The boards are alternately stacked on one side or the other on the transverse crossbar. It turns out an interesting three-dimensional view.

The principle of installing shtaketin in the fence “chess” or “chess”

If you look at such a fence exactly the opposite, it looks like a deaf, if to the side, then at a certain angle some part of the yard will be visible through the gap. The degree of transparency is regulated by setting one bar, after another. It can be done so that visibility will be zero. For example, with a plank width of 10 cm, the distance between them should be no more than 6 cm. No matter how you look, nothing is visible. The disadvantage is the high consumption of wood. But fences are very beautiful, especially in combination with brick or stone pillars and figuratively made tops.

Chess on the cap - this fence looks gorgeous

They also make horizontal fences out of chess. But here you need to keep in mind that on such a fence it is very convenient to climb: boards, like stairs. True, any fence is not such a serious barrier. Rather, he is protection from prying eyes than from serious assassination attempts.

Wooden Fence - Horizontal Chess

Such "chess" looks decent and solid. Pillars can be any: metal, wooden, stone, concrete. If they put metal poles, they are made of a profile thick-walled pipe (3 mm). Above ground level, on the front and back sides, they are sewn up with boards (to the posts with bolts or self-tapping screws) that are larger than the profile width: they should protrude on the sides by 3-6 cm. Thus, we get guides into which the boards are inserted. The boards are then attached from the inside to the plating of the posts.

Fence "Fir-tree"

Another type of horizontal fence is called the “herringbone”. It is named so because the boards are laid close to one another, and with an overlap located below. In profile, it looks like a Christmas tree, as children draw it.

Herringbone wooden fences create a continuous coating

On such a fence, climbing up is more difficult. Please note that there is a protective visor on top. It protects the most vulnerable part of the fence, greatly extending its life, and also deferring the time of the next painting. After all, usually the top and bottom cover is the most damaged. From below this fence is protected by a socle, from above - by a visor.

Wooden fences "blinds"

They differ from the one described above in that the boards do not adjoin one another. They are fixed at an angle, but with some clearance. This type of fencing does not create a solid wall and the yard can be viewed, although this will require sitting down or even lying down - it depends on the angle of inclination.

The fence called "blinds" - looking at his device, you will understand why

This type of fence is very uneconomical - wood consumption is usually large. Assembly is also difficult: to fasten a bar (corner) under each board or to cut a notch in a column.

But with such a construction, good ventilation of the site is provided. This is important if the climate or terrain is humid. You can’t install a solid fence: there will be a puddle under it and the dirt in the yard will never dry out.

Board braid - a beautiful fence

Unusually looks like a fence made of bent between the pillars of the boards. They are intertwined between pillars according to the type of traditional wattle. Only make it from long boards.

Fence "wicker" from the board

Most often they are found in horizontal execution. There are fewer joints and it is easier to bend long spans.

There are also vertical braids. In order to give them a finished look, the strips are beaten at the top and bottom - they both hold the edges of the boards and protect them from the weather.

How to make such beauty, see the video. Really simple, but decent strength is required.

Trellised fencing

A variety of gratings are made of thin, and not very, strips: with different angles, the frequency of the strips, etc. These fences play rather a decorative role and are used either for fencing inside - the waters of a thief, in the garden - or for the front door - to mark the borders, but not to cover the beauty.

Photo of beautiful fences

It’s just amazing: what beauty can people make of a piece of wood. Really beautiful. And some, while not very complicated.

Maybe someone will be inspired by these photos of old wooden fences, they can be repeated ...

Disappearing beauty ...

Fences and all kinds of hedges are an integral attribute of garden landscapes. They help to emphasize the belonging of the land to private property and to determine its boundaries. In addition to the direct functional purpose - protection from unwanted "guests", a beautiful fence is able to give the site a complete look. Among the variety of enclosing structures, the most common in the arrangement of suburban areas was a wooden fence, which harmoniously fits into the surrounding landscape.

Advantages and disadvantages of a wooden fence

Demand for wooden fences always remains high. Owners of suburban areas often opt for wooden fences, since they have a number of undeniable advantages:

• Naturalness. Wood is an environmentally friendly natural material with a unique color and structure.
• Aesthetic qualities. Beautiful wooden fences perfectly complement any architectural ensemble.
• Low cost. Compared to other types of fences, the same brick or reinforced concrete, wooden fences are much cheaper.
• Ease of construction. Installation of wooden walling does not imply special knowledge, skills. To build a fence under the force of even one person.
• Variety of options. Material for the manufacture of a reliable and beautiful fence can be any wood species: oak, beech, pine, ash, larch.

There are more than a dozen variations of wooden fences: in some elements for filling are mounted vertically, in others - horizontally, in some they form complex weaves and patterns.

Among the shortcomings of wood, only a relatively short service life can be noted, which ranges from 8-10 years. The determining factors in the service life of the fence are the features of the soil and climate.

The fence becomes unusable as a result of rotting of the wood under the influence of weather conditions, excess moisture and damage by harmful insects. It is possible to extend the service life by treating the surface with antiseptic and protective agents.

Combined options are also very popular when reinforced concrete, brick or metal poles act as supports

A variety of options for wooden fences

A wooden fence may be a solid or blowable structure. Partially visible blown options are good because they do not interfere with the passage of sunlight and wind, allowing you to create optimal conditions for growing green spaces on the site.

Option number 1 - Classic fence

The pillars in the classic version of the arrangement of the fence are most often metal poles that are buried in the ground to a meter and a half and concreted. Runs are made of wooden bars measuring 50x100 mm.

The fence is a structure of vertically placed beams that are mounted on horizontal veins

Option number 2 - "Herringbone"

Option number 4 - "Lattice"

When creating the lattice web, the slats can not only be placed at an equidistant distance vertically, horizontally or even at a slope of 45 degrees. To get unusual decorative patterns, slats can be grouped and combined, changing the distance between them.

An openwork wooden lattice is obtained from crosswise arranged, and in some cases even interwoven, boards or battens framed by a solid frame

Option number 5 - "Ranch"

The design consists of wooden poles on which wooden bars (rails) are mounted under each other. "Ranch" - open-type fencing, intended mainly for access control and delimitation of the territory.

Ranch-style fences are made of horizontal bars. Such fences are good for framing spacious estates, zoning the territory of the site, as well as delimiting cords for horses or livestock pastures

Option number 6 - Fence

The classic version of the picket fence has the appearance of a structure that consists of metal or wooden posts and veins, on which the rails are nailed vertically.

The picket fence may be a blank structure in which the boards are located close to each other. Such a solid fence is able to ensure complete privacy of the owners of the site. A more popular option is a picket fence with gaps, in which the boards are fixed at a small distance from each other.

Fence - perhaps the most popular type of fence. Due to the attractive aesthetic appearance, such a fence is often used as a decorative element in the arrangement of landscape design

Option number 7 - “Chess”

“Chess” perfectly passes sunlight and air, creating favorable conditions for plants on the site, but unlike a traditional picket fence with gaps, it is able to completely protect the territory from the views of passers-by from the street.

"Chess" is a sophisticated version of the traditional picket fence. A double-sided front fence is assembled from the spirit of the rows of a picket fence with gaps. In this case, one of the rows of the fence is slightly shifted relative to the first, and the fence boards become staggered

Features of the construction of a classic picket fence

Pretty simple, but at the same time reliable and beautiful view of the fence, the construction of which any owner of a suburban area can handle.

To make such a fence, it is necessary to prepare:

• Edged or planed boards of a certain length;
• Supporting wooden poles;
• Bars 2-2.5 m long with a section of 40 mm;
• Stakes and rope for marking;
• Nails or screws;
• Concrete and crushed stone for installation of poles.

Having decided on the place of construction, it is necessary to drive in the stakes and pull the rope. Along the planned line at an equidistant distance (on average 2.5-3 meters), places are planned for the construction of pillars.

In the designated places in the ground with the help of a drill, holes are drilled with a depth of 80-90 cm

The lower ends of wooden posts must be pre-treated with a bioseptic, then coated with resin and wrapped with roofing oil or roofing material. This will extend the life of the fence.

It is necessary to deepen the posts no less than a quarter of the entire length of the product. Having fixed the pillars in the pit, you can make a filling of brick chips or gravel, and then perform a cement screed. For natural shrinkage of pillars and hardening of cement, it is necessary to wait several days.

To determine the horizontal structure will help pulling the rope on top of the posts. The laces are attached to the posts using pads or notches. Depending on what kind of fence the fence will have, an even, semicircular or figured cut should be made on each shtaketin.

Fence can be given bizarre shapes. The wavy forms of protections or fences with carved "windows" look effectively

The planks are nailed to the veins in such a way that the distance to the soil is at least 5 cm. This will prevent the decay of the lower part of the shtaketin. To protect the erected wooden fence from destructive effects, you can use colorless mastic sealant, or ordinary oil paint.

Features of wooden picket

This type of fence can be different, it all depends on the gap or the exact width of the material used. For the picket fence, pine or larch is more often used, the workpiece is made from pieces of wood, so the material for the fence will be inexpensive. Fence happens:

• Deaf - when installing the fence, the boards are installed as close to each other as possible so that there is no gap between them. A very convenient design, since the territory of the site will not be visible from the street, it is also more stable than other options of a picket fence.
• With a gap - in this option it is necessary to set a certain interval of distance between vertical boards. This type of fencing is the most convenient in order to mark the territory, therefore it is very popular among the owners of summer cottages. In urban houses of a private type, such a picket fence is often used to enclose front gardens, flower gardens, and lawns.

Photo 1. Options for fences made of wood

Wood is the oldest natural material that people use for the construction of both buildings and fences. Wood is quite easy to process, and many different species are found, which allows you to select the color, texture, strength and other parameters of the material based on the specific case. Currently, there are a variety of types of wooden fences. Some species are used to this day, others have gone into a deep history, or are found in remote villages and villages. At the same time, one should not think that modern structures can replace wood, especially if we consider the issue from an environmental point of view. For some, this is the most basic question when choosing the type of fence.

If we look at the history of types of wooden fences, then they evolved along with humans. At first, the fences were made in the form of a stockade, or wicker, now you can meet combined durable fences, which have not only an unusual structure, but also an unusual design approach. By the way, the design of wooden fences over a long history has undergone the same changes as human views on beauty and sophistication.

To acquaint the reader with various variations, we suggest considering types of wooden fences for private homes. By and large, most often fences from solid wood are used in private homes.

Photo 2. Types of wooden fences

Wooden picket fence

This type of wooden fence is also commonly called a shtaket, or a shtaketnik. He has spans that will be performed using boards. The boards are nailed to the rails vertically. By the way, the picket can be different. It all depends on the gap, or rather, its width.

• blind picket  - if the boards are located as close as possible to each other, without forming a gap. When the landlord wants his territory not to be viewed from the side, this option will do just fine. Plus, the design will be more or less stable, and breaking a hole will not be so easy, although possible.
• with a gap.  If there is a certain distance between the vertical boards. This option of wooden fences is appropriate in case you need to designate a territory. Especially often this type is found in suburban areas. In the city you can see similar fences at the front gardens, a variety of lawns.

It is important to notethat such types of wooden fences perfectly transmit the rays of the sun and look good from the side. The height can be different - it all depends on the destination.

Chess player

You can find more complex types of wooden picket fences. For example, a fence made in two rows with an offset of the inner row. This is the so-called chess. It is a good design move that can decorate any territory. By the way, such a fence from the side will look much more interesting and attractive than deaf. Moreover, with its help, the territory is well guarded from the views of idle people.

If you do not need to maintain the privacy of the site, you can foresee the option when this or that gap of the site will be visible at a certain angle. Quite an interesting solution, which owners of private houses often resort to.

Ranch

Varieties of wooden fences are not limited to two. The next type is Ranch. This fence has certain spans that are made of boards located horizontally. In some cases, bars are used. A ranch is an open-type fence. The main task of this type of wooden fences is to delimit the territory, or to control access. By the way, when the territory under construction is fenced, this method is often used.

Most believe that this type came to us from America, as the name itself indicates. But this can be argued, since even before the discovery of the continent by Columbus, residents of the "Old World" resorted to such structures.

A ranch made of logs is considered an ideal pasture enclosure.  Such a fence does not require a large amount of material, but it reliably helps to keep animals in the right territory.

If we talk about the fencing of the territory of private buildings, then a ranch is often used when thick boards are closely fitted to each other. This not only increases the level of stability, but also helps to make the territory inaccessible to prying eyes.

Ladder

This type of wooden fence has spans. Spans are made of boards that are located horizontally relative to each other. At the same time, they are overlapped. This design has a very presentable appearance, although most often it is made from planed boards.

When the boards are laid using gaskets made of wood, a fence is obtained that has horizontal oblique gaps. In this case, the rays of the sun pass perfectly to the planting, while the site remains inaccessible for prying eyes.

An important point!  Since the ladder does not have horizontal planes, precipitation will not accumulate. This significantly extends the life of this version of the wooden fence.

If you strive to have a beautiful fence made in the original style and able to last a long time, then the ladder is perfect. Moreover, the design is quite affordable.

I would also like to dwell on the “wooden shingle”. These are also horizontal directions of sawn or chipped material. From the side it resembles a wooden tile. If you approach the process creatively and devote maximum time to it, it will turn out very beautifully.

Tyn, wicker

The design of wooden fences can be completely different. Braid (from Ukrainian - tyn) proves this. Some believe that this fence is the easiest to implement, but able to add a special touch of the area. It is made of vines, with the help of which a support made of wood is wrapped around a snake.
