Step-by-step instructions for building bamboo fence do it yourself.First of all, it is necessary to mark the future fence, calculate the approximate cost of materials, make an estimate. Further, according to the marking, you need to dig wooden or metal poles, first you should grease the lower part with bituminous mastic, thereby protecting against decay, you can also concrete the poles. According to the author, it is advisable to dig holes under the pillars 10% below the level of freezing in your Region.
Then, a metal fastener is screwed on to the dug poles or pinned with a nail, on which a bamboo shield will subsequently be installed.
This item can be bought at any hardware store, they are not expensive.
Then, with the help of the board and the level, the place is determined for the installation of the second element on an adjacent column.
A note is made using a marker or a nail.
Fasteners are mounted on the pole.
A board is attached and a marker is applied to it, in the place where it should be sawed off.
By the same principle, the author acted with the second board.
Between themselves, horizontal boards are fastened vertically.
This creates the basis for a bamboo shield.
Everything is screwed onto ordinary screws.
And so the foundation is ready and you can move on to the next step.
The shield is removed from the fasteners.
For convenient work, it is laid on pre-prepared goats.
A long self-tapping screw is screwed into the edge of the board.
A self-tapping screw is also attached to the 2nd board.
Then the author begins to form a bamboo shield, picking up trunks that are suitable in size.
In appearance, the bamboo is not the first freshness and obviously not from the store, because some trunks have already rotted around the edges, so the author got it at a low price.
The section is formed.
Now we proceed to fixing directly the bamboo to the base with self-tapping screws.
The master shows us that it is impossible to screw a self-tapping screw into the knee, but only next and previously you should drill a hole.
Then the screw is screwed into the outermost trunk.
After passes through the entire section.
The edges of the shield should be aligned, and for this, first measure the required length and make a note with a marker.
A long, flat board is taken and applied to the place of the note.
Line marking is applied.
The result was a flat line.
On the intended line, the author performs sawing with a circular electric saw.
Thus it turned out an even cut.
On the opposite side, the master performed similar actions.
The result is a smooth bamboo shield
Then the section is installed in its rightful place.
It is inserted into metal fixture.
It is screwed with screws using a screwdriver.
Slots are also filled with bamboo and are sized to fit.
When installing the fence should take into account the features of the terrain.
To protect the hollow inside the bamboo from moisture, the author made an overlay of edged boards.
Now precipitation to the fence is not at all scary.
So that the fence lasts as long as possible, it can be varnished.
The bamboo fence will surprise anyone with its unusual appearance.
Thus, the master built an interesting fence on his site, which will look good among the pine forest. Nowadays, the main thing is to stand out and show your personality, and the author did pretty well. Well done!
