Concrete blocks fence - sandstone cladding is with a green coating

Front fence:

The rest of the fence - from larch railings.

Decyzja: Grodziłam dwa boki działki.From the front, the bricklayers put walls, posts and foundation from concrete blocks.Most of them plastered, only the posts at the entrance and the entrance were covered with sandstone, as on the facade of the house.At a friend of the locksmith, I ordered classic spans made of galvanized steel, protected by a powder method and a decorative gate and a gate.In the case of the latter.

I was afraid that one sliding steel wing would be too massive, so I spread the weight over two arms.I set as much as a width of 5 m to the gate, so that the twist from the narrow street was more convenient, I immediately added the drive.From the side of the meadow and channel I closed the property with a double fence, the rails are arranged on both sides of the steel frame.

Fencing made of concrete blocks - advice and warnings:

I regret that there are no longer walls from the front.They are functional - they protect from the wind, noise, uninvited guests and are an excellent background for plants, garden sandstone sculptures, sources in the wall.At the gate I built a cassette mailbox with easy access on both sides of the wall, it's a great solution.I noticed that by putting an openwork fence, the owners still hang various mats on it later.I did that too - on forged spans I fixed wicker curtains, but the effect is so -so.The wall would be much better here, even if he had an openwork ground clearance.

Lite fence and posts, the roofer covered with sheet metal roofs.He deliberately lengthened the hoods so that the water does not flow into the plaster and sandstone.Both finishes do not fall off the blocks because they were carefully glued with adhesive mortar.Sandstone cladding from a shady side is with a green coating, although it was previously impregnated.Our bricklayers secured immediately after the arrangement, but after six years I have to wash it from the raid and secure the preparation again for the stone.

The larch railings underwent industrial impregnation before assembly, then the contractors painted them twice with a dyed stain.They still look good, they do not require renewal, but I do not rule it out in 2-3 years.Powder paint on steel elements did not faded and did not crack.What would I change in the gate?Now I would avoid the clearance in the lower part, because cats pass through him.I advise you to plan a large garbage and garden shelter.Ours has dimensions of 2 x 3 m, two wickets and roofing - it is functional.
