Wood
Wood Marie with all the styles and all architectures. In kit or panels ready to go up, it is declined in the form of intersected trellis-work, concave slats, juxtaposed logs, diagonal plates for a negotiable instrument of herringbones…
Advantages: wood is worked easily, it Marie with all the styles and all architectures.
Defects: sensitive to the bad weather, the insects and poppet valves. Prepare you to pickle them and to coat them varnish or of special painting wood every two years.
If the task rejects you, choose exotic species. They are naturally immunized against the parasitic and attacks (of microscopic funguses which cause a disease of wood called the mildew).
Other possibilities: the oak removed from its sapwood and the pine discussed with C require less conversation. Same manner, the wood of North discussed in factory and autoclave have a good resistance.
PVC
Advantages: light, rigid, non-degradable, without conversation, it fears neither UV, nor the freezing. It finds its place on the seaside since it is insensitive with the saline air. It can imitate the aspect of wood thanks to the implementation on the sections of inalterable. Sections and the accessories (witch's hats, decorative mouldings, balls…) are available. In addition, the association of PVC with a stone low wall is often a success.
A consulting: provide for at the beginning of construction the elements to be embedded in the wall of base (letterbox, intercom, lighting, electric meters or gas…). Also retain that all the walls, large or small, out of natural or reconstituted stone, cement or brick, require foundations. To obtain a good base, you will have to dig the ground and to run a concrete sole.
Defect: he well at the houses of contemporary style but less better at the houses seeking to recreate an old architecture.
Advantages: stylized or stripped, enriched by volutes or rosettes, is more beautiful negotiable instrument. In addition, for a long time, it was reserved for the middle-class residences. Today, it is democratized. Its assets: a light aspect and an extreme robustness.
Defects: it must imperatively receive a rustproofing and a painting polyurethane annealed with the furnace. If your fence is not delivered with this completion, it only remains you to degrease metal. Sandpaper it. Implement yourself two or three coats of special paint iron before it rusts. The operation is renewed every four years. also expensive of material.
Aluminum
Advantages: when it is thermolacquered, it is practically inalterable. in this material that can find the gates full cheapest. Side encloses, for the small budgets, one chooses netting. Welded, woven, rigid, flexible, galvanized, plasticized… The models are numerous, one can pose them oneself.
The Councils: if wishes to prevent that animals return at home, one chooses a netting with fine mesh. Useless is sophisticated if made push a hedge. In a nursery gardener you will discover species which push very quickly and do not cost very expensive. By , the vegetable hedge is that which melts the with your garden and thus makes it possible visually.
Operation of the automatic gates
The automatic gates have many advantages. Today, three types of operation exist on the market.
- Buried systems. They claim important work (holes to be dug, masonry, basin under the hinges, etc). But they offer a space saver and are appropriate well for the heavy models. They are in addition surer.
- The systems with arms, recommended by the Very soft near total of the manufacturers of gates out of wooden or PVC, their traction preserves the casements and the hinges. They are easy to install. On the other hand, side security, they are very visible… and require a once opened minimum of release.
- Systems with jacks. They exert important stresses on the casements. They are appropriate well for the robust gates. Their speed is generally adjustable. Sober, they are integrated well into the environment (they are seen only interior). But it is necessary to adhere to a minimal distance of 15 cm between the posts and the axis of the hinges.
In all the cases think of making install a system of unlocking to prevent that in the event of failure your gate remains closed!
