Pillars (imitation of brick) are a very special high-quality finishing material that is ideal for decorating a fence post. Such material is known relatively recently, but literally immediately managed to acquire great demand among the owners of private houses and luxurious mansions.

Brick imitation panels will help to significantly reduce the time and labor costs for building a fence.

Due to the special simplicity of the structure being erected, you do not need to contact experienced builders for installation, so it is quite possible to carry out all installation work yourself, using the most common construction tools.

The panel imitating a brick pillar is made of very good quality polypropylene. Such a finish is distinguished by the fact that it does not lend itself to the negative effects of the environment and is made from ecological, natural materials.

The outer layer absolutely repeats the size, shade, seams of natural brickwork.

Pix panel has excellent technical characteristics and high strength materials.

Panels that imitate brick are characterized by the fact that their shade absolutely repeats the texture and color features of ordinary brick. The main technical characteristics of such material are:

• small weight and dimensions;
• different temperature conditions of application;
• nice aesthetic look.

To increase the protective qualities, the panels are covered with a special paint. It perfectly protects the material from the aggressive influence of snow, rain and sunlight. In addition, the paint increases the resistance to fading and peeling.

The thickness of the pix panels imitating brick is only 2 cm, which makes it possible to cut the cladding very simply, without specialized equipment. Due to their high environmental friendliness, they can be used in absolutely any conditions, while the materials do not emit any harmful substances during operation.

Advantages and disadvantages

General view of the fence with PICS panels.

A panel imitating a brick fence post has both certain advantages and some disadvantages. One of the main advantages of such material is its reasonable cost. In addition, among the advantages it is necessary to highlight such as:

• ease and speed of installation;
• no need for special skills;
• installation can be carried out in any weather;
• keep a beautiful look for a long time.

Among the shortcomings of the material, it is necessary to note the difficulty of joining the individual components. This is due to the lack of the required models for the layout of the corner posts, so they must be made up of 2 panels.

In addition, a pole made of polypropylene does not guarantee long-term shape retention in case of damage or high loads exerted on the product.

Carrying out preparatory work for installation

Panel pix is ​​a high-quality imitation of a brick pillar, easy to install, so everyone can handle the cladding. You can mount finished elements with imitation of ordinary bricks on one or, if desired, on both sides of the fence. It is quite possible to install panels only from the front of the fence, which makes it possible to save free time and money.

To mount pix panels, you will need tools such as:

• 2 corners;
• self-tapping screws;
• screwdriver;
• construction roulette.

To carry out the facing with pix panels, it is initially necessary to carry out markings at the mounting points of the pillars at a distance of 3 m from one another. Then you need to install two corners in predetermined places.

Mounting pillars with imitation bricks

Corners to the prepared fence canvas must be fixed, this can be done using:

• self-tapping screws;
• rivets;
• bolts.

Corners are attached to wooden racks using self-tapping screws designed for woodworking.

A visor with several functions must be installed on the outer area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe panel.

It is intended for additional protection of the inside of the panel from snow and rain.

It also guarantees sun protection. The first finished panel with an already installed visor must be attached to the corners strictly along the height of the fence. Moving step by step down, you need to connect all the remaining components to each other using special locks, and attach pillars to the corners using self-tapping screws.

If the bottom panel does not fit in height, then it can be cut a little. Particular attention must be paid to the direction of the required connecting parts of the column. You can cut off excess parts of the working material using the most ordinary scissors designed for working on metal, or with a simple grinder.

After installation, it is necessary to wipe the surface of the installed column with a damp cloth. Peak panels are sometimes used to decorate a metal fence post to which the rest of the fence is attached. Installation work is carried out in the same way as when installing fence posts.

Pix panels are simply mounted and easily disassembled. They can even be used several times without compromising their appearance. Using brick imitation panels is a good opportunity to get an aesthetic, reliable, well-designed and affordable fence or a modern beautiful fence.

The disadvantage of the standard fence manufacturing technology is a powerful foundation for each brick pillar. It is very difficult to lay out 10 - 20 columns on your own, depending on the dimensions, the configuration of the site. In the absence of brick pillars (attaching sections to a metal pipe), the quality of the exterior of the structure is sharply reduced.

PICS panels completely solve these problems, they are a three-dimensional analogue of basement siding, designed for use in aggressive environments.

What is PIKS panel - design, characteristics

Socle polymer (acrylic or PVC) siding leads in the sales ratings, allowing you to give buildings from budget wall materials the look of classic brickwork. The PIKS panel is a three-dimensional analogue of these facings; it has the form of U-shaped modules with two external corners.

• colors - "cinnamon" or "straw"
• height - imitation of 4 rows of masonry with one and a half facing bricks with 1 cm joints (38 cm)
• width - one and a half bricks with a similar seam (30 cm)
• depth - 15 cm
• weight - 0.5 kg

The thickness of the panels is 2 cm, which allows cutting the cladding with metal scissors, knives. There are no restrictions on the temperature regime of operation. The stability of geometry, combined with the preservation of color throughout the entire period of service, favorably distinguishes imitation from natural brick, which is subject to weathering and destruction from bad weather.

Advantages

The advantages of PICS panels are:

• environmental friendliness - products do not emit harmful substances during operation
• cost-effectiveness - in comparison with natural masonry, the construction budget is reduced by 2 times, there are no operating costs
• aesthetics - the addition of "brick" pillars to plain sections of a fence made of profiled sheet, palisade, picket fence, wattle fence dramatically improves the quality of the exterior
• variability - the dummy can be mounted at any time, it is possible to use modules for interior decoration
• high resource - the polymer material is resistant to solar ultraviolet, seasonal temperature changes, precipitation, organics, acids, solvents, alkalis
• quick installation - no need to involve specialists, just a screwdriver, self-tapping screws
• load reduction - there is no need to pour a massive concrete foundation around the support posts
• The modules can be used to decorate interior rooms with appropriate interior design (for example, high-tech, urban style, country).

There are drawbacks to the cladding, but there are not so many of them:

• lack of models for corner posts - you will have to buy two panels, cut them at 45 degrees, dock them into additional strips in place.

However, there are no analogues of PICS cladding, the advantages outweigh the shortcomings of the manufacturers. Facing is in consistently high demand.

Installation of the PICS panel

The technology for installing imitation brick pillars is extremely simple:

• in a convenient place of sections of a solid fence with the necessary frequency, a profile is attached
• modules are fixed on it with self-tapping screws from the bottom up
• the design is covered with a decorative cap

For high deaf sections, it is enough to install imitation brickwork on the outside of the fence. In case of periodic filling of sections (euro fence, palisade, wattle fence) or a small height of enclosing structures, double-sided installation is used, which gives the dummy a logical completeness.

The fence is an integral part of modern private buildings.

Without fences, it is difficult to imagine today's cottages and country houses. The design should not only reliably protect the home of its owner, but also harmoniously fit into the interior of the site. Fence tiling is becoming more and more popular. This article is devoted to how to do it yourself without the involvement of specialists.

What fence can be tiled?

Unfortunately, not every design can be finished with tiled material:

• Fence cladding tiles are used if the fence is made of foam or gas blocks, bricks or monolith.

The fence must have a flat surface - this is the basic rule for using tiles.

• Also, this finishing material is suitable for decorating fence posts.

This option is quite common, since for many the fence is not a solid structure, but consists of parts.

What is fence cladding for?

Tiling protects the fence, namely the pillars and its lower part from an excess of moisture:

1. With cladding, the level of sound insulation of the site increases.
2. The tile protects the fence from the effects of temperatures.
3. With the help of facing material, you can create a unique style.

Qualitatively executed installation of a tile - the business card of owners of a site.

Types of facing material

If you decide to decorate your fence with tiles, then first of all you need to get acquainted with its varieties:

• porcelain stoneware;
• ceramic;
• glass;
• concrete;
• stone.

The material differs from each other in its composition and method of manufacture. As for the properties and technical characteristics, they are similar for all types of facing material.

Porcelain stoneware

Porcelain tiles are very often found in the design of summer cottages.

Due to the high strength of the building material, it is very often used in finishing work. Tiles are made from several types of clay under the influence of high temperature and pressure.

The high strength of the material is due to double firing. Advantages of porcelain stoneware in the design of fences:

1. It withstands additional loads and environmental influences.
2. It does not require special care.
3. It has many types of textures, colors and shapes.
4. Porcelain stoneware has a high level of fire resistance, moisture resistance and frost resistance.

Like any building material, porcelain tiles have their drawbacks, the main of which is low impact strength.

Therefore, during installation, you need to use a rubber mallet so as not to split the tile.

Porcelain tile is laid out only on a leveled surface, using a concrete solution.

Ceramic tile

This building material is considered the most popular of all. According to its characteristics, ceramics are almost identical to porcelain stoneware. The main difference is the weight of the material.

Ceramic tiles are lighter. It, like porcelain stoneware, perfectly tolerates the effects of moisture, high and low temperatures.

Ceramics is durable and practical, which is why it is so loved by experienced builders and finishers.

Pillar tiling is usually made from:

• mosaics;
• clinker tiles;
• cotto;
• terralia.

As with porcelain stoneware, the type of surface plays an important role when working with ceramics. It must be carefully aligned.

If the tiles are mounted on a fence post, then it is important to observe the geometry.

glass tiles

The main disadvantage of tiles is the high price. . Glass finishing material, despite the apparent fragility of the name, has excellent characteristics and properties:

• Glass cladding tiles for the fence are made of thick glass. Its service life is unlimited.
• Glass is very practical, it does not absorb dirt and water.
• Glass tile is fire resistant, withstands moisture and low temperatures.

The peculiarity of the installation of glass tiles - it can only be laid out on a flat surface, previously lubricated with special glue.

concrete tiles

Concrete tiles facing for pillars and fences, unlike other types, can be mounted on absolutely any surface:

• Ragged.
• Embossed.
• Matte.
• texture.
• glazed.

The surface of the facing material can be convex, smooth and concave. Experienced builders-finishers take advantage of this advantage and create a unique design.

According to its characteristics, concrete tiles are not inferior to either porcelain stoneware or glass. It is durable, fire resistant, withstands low and high temperatures.

Installation work

The lining instruction is very simple:

1. A solution of concrete is applied to the back of the building material with the help.
2. The surface does not need to be further treated and lubricated with a solution.
3. The tile is applied to the fence and leveled with the help of a level.

Even a novice in the construction business can handle the installation of concrete tiles.

stone tile

Stone cladding is very popular among wealthy owners of their own plots.

• Not everyone can afford fences lined with marble, sandstone or granite.
• However, artificial stone very accurately imitates the surface of decorative ones.
• Outwardly, it is very difficult to distinguish natural agglomerate from industrial building materials.

The table shows the main differences between artificial and natural stone:

Installation of stone tiles is carried out using concrete mortar. For artificial stone, it is imperative to level the surface.

Outcome

In the case of natural agglomerate, a perfectly smooth surface is an optional condition. It all depends on the back side of the stone. In order to arrange a pillar of facing tiles (natural stone) correctly, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with the technology of work, since the agglomerate is heavy. This may require strengthening the adhesion of the surface.

Facing the fence is very important, because the fence is not only reliable protection for the house. An elegant and high-quality fence of any site is the hallmark of its owners. The video in this article will help you figure out which tile is best to use for finishing the fence and pillars.

Following modern trends, it is impossible to imagine a private household without a fence. The appearance of which forms a general opinion about the thriftiness of the owners.

The use of modern decorative finishing materials helps to create a certain look for the entire architectural ensemble, improving the appearance of the entire site. That is why it is so important to complete the lining of the fence around the house.

There are cases when the appearance of the fence near the house territory is made from improvised materials, as a result, such a reliable “structure” can be uneven, skewed, or it can turn out to be quite a reliable fence that is fragile. No matter how “reliable” the fence is, of course, the owners are looking for ways to rectify the situation, and at the same time ennoble the fence around the house.

Just a few years ago you could see chain-link fences, wooden fences. Gradually, the fashion switched to more affordable finishing materials - such as corrugated board, there are inventors who make wicker fences.

Now everything has changed. Fences are built reliable, brick or foam block. Even during the construction process, the owners already know what they want to see on their site and what the fence should be like, what it should be built from and how it should be finished.

Decorative finishing of the fence is a task that can be solved in various ways, each of which has both advantages and certain disadvantages. Every day, more and more requirements are imposed on the decorative finish of fences, which must meet the general appearance of the site, the surrounding landscape, and be aesthetic.

Some finishing materials look attractive after manufacturing or laying, and in some cases, the issue of additional finishing of the fence is acute. For example, when the fence is made of corrugated board or siding, it looks quite aesthetically pleasing, but if the fence around the house is made of reinforced concrete, the general view of the site looks rather dull. The same applies to old but rather strong fences, which have already “grown old” from time to time, but are still quite a reliable structure.

Why do you need to trim the fence?

Answering the question why do we need to finish the fence, we can say with confidence that, first of all, this is the decor of the entire area around the house. A high-quality finish will protect the yard from extraneous noise. Adds elegance to your yard. And the choice of finishing materials for its decoration must be approached with all seriousness.

How to decorate a fence? Types of finishing materials

Let's look at the most common ways to finish the fence.

Finishing the fence with decorative plaster:

A fence finished with decorative plaster is a more economical option. Plaster for facing the fence can be made by yourself, from improvised materials, by adding various structure-forming substances to the solution, however, let's consider how to finish the fence with already "invented" plasters:

• finishing the surface of the fences with plaster "bark beetle", "rain" "lamb"
• finishing the walls of fences with finishing plaster "fur coat", "granules" or "pebble"
• marble surface finish

Types of plasters for finishing the fence

Finishing the fence with decorative plaster "bark beetle"

For exterior decoration, decorative plaster with a bark beetle texture is successfully used: when applied, a surface similar to the bark of a tree damaged by a bark beetle is created. Namely, for this type of finished surface, the plaster acquired the name “bark beetle”.

Bark beetle plaster, with its unusual external appearance, has important operational properties: it is highly resistant to environmental influences and temperature extremes; tinted plaster does not fade from direct sunlight.

"Rain"- the texture of this type of decorative plaster does not differ from bark beetle plaster except for the method of application. "Fur coat"- this type of decorative plaster is one of the most economical options for finishing the fence. Plasters for outdoor work of this type can protect the walls of the fence from the effects of weather precipitation, it is highly resistant to temperature extremes.

The modern type of decorative plaster "fur coat" is a strong and durable coating for outdoor work.

Plaster for outdoor work "Granule"- high-quality material for use on the facades of buildings, has good moisture and frost resistance, and is also resistant to precipitation. With the help of this type of plaster, you can create a “rough” texture on the surface of the walls.

Finishing the fence with decorative plaster "granules"

This type of decorative plaster is made on the basis of acrylic copolymers, which allows the plaster to “adhere” better to the surface being trimmed. Decorative plaster "granules" water-repellent, elastic finishing material with excellent adhesion.

Possesses excellent water-repellent qualities, elastic structure, magnificent adhesive properties. It is used both for outdoor work and for interior decoration.

Finishing the fence "marble chips"

Decorative plaster "Marble chips" Ideal finishing coat for indoor and outdoor use. Marble chips have an excellent property - they do not fade in the sun. Resistant to moisture penetration, not afraid of any changes in temperature and precipitation, not subject to carrosion, etc.

With the help of these types of decorative plaster, you can give the walls of the fence any texture of any color. It all depends on the imagination of the residents of the site or design ideas.

In order for the decorative plaster to last for a long time, the walls of the fence must be carefully prepared, cleaned of dust, etc., carefully primed, be sure to reinforce, and only then apply the finishing decorative layer. Naturally, the plaster of "own production" will not last long, it will begin to fall off from the effects of the weather, and you need to be prepared for this. But popular manufacturers are ready to guarantee high resistance, plasters for facade work, both to sudden changes in temperature and to precipitation.

Clinker tiles are a kind of finishing ceramics, it has improved properties, it is made from refined clay by high-temperature firing. As a result, the clay is almost completely melted and clinker is obtained, which is not afraid of water, frost, heat, and it can be used in various climatic conditions.

Finishing the fence with clinker tiles

ADVANTAGES OF CLINKER TILES

• It is used both for decorating interiors and for facade work;
• Has a high strength;
• durability;
• Low water absorption;
• Frost resistance;
• Resistant to aggressive substances;
• Waterproof;
• Clinker tiles do not fade in the sun;
• Fireproof.

Installation of clinker tiles is slightly different from installation of artificial or natural stone. However, if you follow the necessary measures, the work can be done quickly without harming the quality.
As in any other case of outdoor work, the surface must be carefully prepared, cleaned of dirt, dust, primed, reinforced, and only after well-prepared walls can the installation of clinker tiles be started.

When performing outdoor work - the adhesive solution must be intended for facade work, frost-resistant.

There are few drawbacks to clinker tiles. Since it is still ceramics, clinker tiles are fragile. And its biggest drawback is its high cost.

A fence trimmed with clinker tiles will add elegance to the entire area. With the help of clinker tiles, even an old fence can be ennobled, giving it a noble, sophisticated look.

Finishing fences around the house with artificial stone is a great way to decorate the area around the house. Artificial stone is much cheaper than natural stone. Using imitation of natural stone for finishing the fence, you can tidy up the area adjacent to the house and save the family budget.

Finishing the fence with decorative artificial stone

Before facing fences with artificial stone, the surface must be cleaned, primed and reinforced. Only after the reinforcing layer has dried can one begin to finish the surface with artificial stone.

A fence trimmed with natural stone strengthens its walls. Its strength increases and the service life is extended. Finishing the fence with natural stone will help to “hide” some of the “irregularities” on the surface of the fence.

Finishing the fence with natural stone

Unedged stone - it looks as natural as possible, since it has not been subjected to any processing.

Sawn stone - looks like a brick.
Hewn stone - comes in various shapes and sizes. When facing the fence with hewn stone, it looks brutal.

Before installing the stone, the wall must be reinforced with fiberglass and dowel-nails or self-tapping screws. Only then a plaster layer is applied, which must dry completely.

When the height of the fence is up to 1.5 meters, the wall can not be strengthened. But if the fence is more than a foot high, you need to mount an additional mount. By attaching hooks to the wall of the fence on one side, and on the other side, a "hole" is drilled in the stone. The adhesive solution is applied to the stone, but not to the wall of the fence to be finished, leaving a centimeter and a half gaps between the stones, after installation of which it is necessary to wipe with specialized solutions. After grouting, clean the stone from glue residues, etc.

Plaster for finishing the fence can only be used of high quality, which is not afraid of temperature changes, moisture. The use of Venetian plaster on the fence will create a surface that imitates natural marble. The surface will be smooth. For a richer color, the walls can be pre-painted

Fence decoration with Venetian plaster

The main advantage of Venetian plaster– its resistance to atmospheric precipitation, fire safety and resistance to moisture. The applied plaster dries quickly.

Disadvantage of Venetian Plaster This is a very labor intensive and long process. Venetian plaster is applied in 5 - 12 layers.

Finishing the fence with tiles

Any home will be decorated with a tile worries fence. This type of tile is made from a cement mixture, sand, or clay. During production, this type of tile acquires a certain shape in the form of shapes with curved corners.

Fence tiling

Types of tiles for finishing the fence:

• Tiles with a glossy surface - looks grand and festive;
• Tiles with a matte surface - creates the effect of minimalism;
• There are both single-color and multi-color tiles;
• Facing tiles that create the effect of marble;
• Creates a kind of mosaic;
• The outer side of the tile is wavy, concave or heterogeneous.

Installation of such tiles is easy. The walls of the lined fence will be more resistant to weather conditions, and the appearance of the fence will be beautiful for many years.

A modern analogue of corrugated board is the siding of the fence. If we compare the finishing of the fence around the house with corrugated board, siding has several advantages:

• compared to corrugated board - siding on the fence looks much more aesthetic, although the cost is not much different from corrugated board;
• as manufacturers say, the service life of siding is much longer than corrugated board;
• siding - produced in rich colors;
• siding panels are produced with textures for "stone", "wood", etc.;
• siding weighs little, so they do not create an additional load on the entire structure of the fences.

Types of siding:

Initially, siding was called ordinary boards, which sheathed the surface of walls or fences. But since wood is not a durable and combustible finishing material, over time it is practically replaced by siding.

Siding is of two types:

Vinyl siding- It is made in the form of panels or rails of various sizes. It imitates with its appearance - lining, log or ship timber.
metal siding- not combustible, durable, not afraid of temperature changes. Metal siding is more expensive than vinyl siding.

The installation of siding is carried out in the following sequence: A column foundation is poured onto the marked area, along the same marking, pillars are installed to which transverse logs are welded, which in turn serve as a crate for the future fence. The resulting frame is primed and painted, then you can proceed to the installation of the siding itself. To the panel aligned in width, attach the starting profile or bar from below, into which the panel is inserted. Fasten the panel with self-tapping screws. This is how the construction of the fence is built to the very top. Then install the finishing profile or bar from above.

It is easy to take care of the siding on the fence - periodically wash contaminated areas with plain water, if necessary, you can use a soft brush.

Important: It is forbidden to use solvent, acetone and products with coarse particles to clean the siding fence.

Finishing pillars with bricks

Pillars during the construction of the fence also need to be finished. For example, metal poles are most often finished with bricks.

To begin with, they need to be installed, concreted. To ensure that subsequent layers of facing materials are laid accurately, the posts should be installed vertically. The first is masonry along the basement. For facing the fence with bricks - the thickness of the masonry in one brick is enough. If the brickwork recedes from the basement, the voids that have formed are poured with concrete.

The first row of brick laying around the metal pillar is laid 1.5-2 bricks wide. Lay them at a 90 degree angle. Subsequent rows of brickwork are laid out vertically, in a dressing. Fill any voids with concrete mix. This will increase the useful life and increase the strength of the lined poles.

Building markets for facing materials are ready to offer a huge selection of decorative bricks, both with different textures and a variety of colors. Fence posts finished with decorative bricks will add elegance to the entire house territory. And the use of metal poles in the construction of supporting pillars will make them more durable. According to the same scheme, metal poles can be finished with artificial or natural stone, clinker tiles or decorative plaster.

When the appearance of the fence does not suit you or there are doubts about its strength, then everything can be changed beyond recognition in a short time. You can decorate both a concrete wall and a brick one. You can decorate the fence around your house with various finishing materials, both natural and artificial. The fence can be finished with both decorative plaster and decorative stone. You can decorate not only the fence, but also just decorate the pillars. It all depends on your preferences and fantasies.

In conclusion of our informative article, I would like to note that no matter how easy and simple the process of finishing the fence looks from the outside, entrust this process to professionals.

The main function of fences and fences is to protect the territory and property from unwanted intrusions, natural disasters, as well as the correct designation of the site boundary. However, do not forget that the fence is a kind of "face" of the house and the attached territory, so you should not need to think about its decoration. Decorating the fence allows the owner to show imagination and express the style of the house and the attached territory, and the possibilities of modern technology allow you to finish the fence at minimal cost.

Decorative finishing of fences is needed not only in order to give a unique style to the entire territory, but also in order to protect the fence from negative environmental influences. Rain, snow, hail, heat, ultraviolet - all this negatively affects the fence. This can lead not only to the loss of an attractive appearance, but also to its breakdown.

There are many materials used to decorate fences, some of them are the most popular due to their attractive price and high quality.

Types of fence decoration

The modern building materials market provides the buyer with a wide choice of materials for finishing the fence, so each owner of the site can choose for himself the option that will fully satisfy his taste and suit the price category.

• Decorative finish.

The most popular type of decorating brick fences, which attracts with its low cost and ease of handling, is plastering. Such plaster can be either purchased directly from suppliers or made independently. In order to make such a finish on your own, you need to add various structure-forming fillers to the plaster base: broken glass, tree fibers, but quartz, marble and granite chips are most often used, since the fence with such a finish looks the most classic. If the owner wants to experiment with design, then such a finish provides endless possibilities for imagination, as it can be given any color and structure. The main disadvantage of decorative plaster as a finish is that such material is not very durable. Under the influence of snow, rain, sunlight, it begins to crack and crumble.

• Facing tiles.

This type of finish is also distinguished by its affordable price category and ease of use, as well as its durability. Particular attention should be paid to the composition of the tiles. Standard board composition:

• Pumice
• Expanded clay
• Marble chips
• Granite chips
• small gravel
• Concrete mortar mix
• Perlite
• Clinker

As a decoration, tiles have a little less possibilities. It is impossible to give the desired color or pattern on your own, but this product is available on the market in a huge and varied quantity, so the owners of the plots will be able to choose a tile that suits their taste. This type of finish is distinguished by a wide range of colors and patterns, shapes (square, rectangular, oblique) sizes, textures (convex or concave), front side design (matte or glossy). In addition, tiles can quite successfully imitate stone.

stone fence trim

Finishing the fence with stone remains in demand even now, since such a fence looks impressive, impregnable and fully corresponds to the expression "my house is my fortress." The buyer is presented with the following options for finishing the fence:

• A natural stone

Natural stone is advised to be used for massive fences that can withstand the high weight of the material. For cladding, you can use:

• Granite
• Limestone
• shell rock
• Marble
• Pebble
• Sandstone
• Slate and others

Most often, sandstone is used, since such a finish is durable, guarantees a greater degree of frost resistance, is environmentally friendly, and also provides sound insulation. However, sandstone has a high hygroscopicity, which is noticeable from November to April. Therefore, this type of decoration should not be used in a climate characterized by high humidity. As a decoration for a fence, the stone fits perfectly, it has a rich choice of shapes, textures and sizes, as well as a difference in shades.

• Fake diamond

If the buyer cannot afford natural stone as a fence finish, then the manufacturer offers a very interesting replacement - artificial stone. Such material is perfect for light and not massive fences, because natural stone forms a massive layer, which can lead to the destruction of fragile structures. It is also much cheaper and does not differ much in appearance. With the help of artificial stone, you can successfully imitate both natural stone masonry and brickwork. In terms of its properties, this material is not only not inferior to natural stone, but even surpasses it, since it does not lose color under the influence of natural conditions and microcracks do not appear in it (unlike natural stone). Also, the advantage of such a stone is a diverse selection of colors, textures and sizes. But when choosing an artificial stone as a finish, you must carefully choose the product, as there is a high probability of unknowingly acquiring a low-quality product.

Facing with siding

Siding is a building material, which is a panel of various materials, such as metal, wood, vinyl, cement, which is used in the cladding of the facade of the house. It began to be actively used from the middle of the 20th century and is still used as a lining of fences.

The very finishing of the fence with siding is not as complicated as it might seem at first glance. The basis of which the panels consist is selected based on the goals pursued by the buyer. If the owner plans to carry out the cladding himself, it is better to choose wood or vinyl, as these materials are easy to use. Wood is not as durable as vinyl and can deteriorate under the influence of natural conditions, while vinyl retains its attractive appearance for a long time. If you want a more impressive fence, then metal or cement are perfect for decorating.
