18 stylish ways to define your boundaries |

The best garden fence ideas are versatile designs that define boundaries while adding aesthetic appeal to your property.

Fencing can also serve an important role in providing security and protection, as well as privacy. It's often a more practical and cost-effective alternative to garden wall ideas, and requires minimal maintenance for a number of years. 

With the range of choice on offer, there is so much a well-chosen garden fence can do for your outdoor space. Style is just as important as quality, so choosing the right material to fit with your other garden ideas is essential. 

'Large features like fences also underpin or can dictate a particular design style or theme, so it’s important to get them right,' says gardening expert Matt James.

'Before you build a new fence, there are a number of key things to consider. Why are you installing it? Is it for privacy, security, to restrict children, pets or livestock, or simply to demarcate your space from your neighbors? 

'Being clear on this will determine the height, material, construction, required degree of privacy of any boundary and, of course, the price. '

When choosing your fencing, do consider the style of your garden and your home. 

Picket or rustic post and rail fences suit more traditional country schemes, a woven willow fence has a natural, rustic look, whereas crisp horizontal louvered fencing complements more modern or urban designs.

To get you started, we've rounded up the best garden fence ideas for functionality and style.

1. Use fencing as a backdrop for built-in seating

Horizontal fencing makes a sleek modern backdrop to this built-in outdoor seating area. 

Positioned in the corner of the garden, it has an enclosed feel due to the addition of a pergola.

There are so many stylish pergola ideas that can provide shade and vertical interest in the garden, while this scheme gives a sense of a room outdoors.

Integral raised beds filled with low-maintenance evergreens, and climbing plants give the cozy corner a lush, relaxing feel.

Finish off with hanging lighting and an outdoor fire, to keep the atmosphere going into the evening.

2. Add low trellis fencing for a cottage garden look

If you are adding fencing but want to retain the view, then a low-level trellis is one of the best garden fence ideas for a traditional scheme.

Allowing you to define an area, while supporting and displaying beautiful plants, a trellis design is also the perfect complement to your cottage garden ideas.

'There are lots of different styles, colors and finishes available; just carefully note the size of the holes before you buy,' says James. 

'The wider the gaps are, the more you can see behind, unless you allow climbers to scramble up through, which for many is exactly the point of using them.'

3. Integrate a water feature into your fence

Add a unique design feature to the garden with a statement water feature, integrated into the fence.

Water feature ideas are a fantastic way of introducing water to a yard that isn't large enough for a pond.

With its minimalist horizontal panels, this louver fence feels sleek and modern, making it a calming backdrop for the sight and sound of trickling water. It's reminiscent of zen Japanese garden ideas.

All of the plumbing is hidden behind the fence, so it's also a very neat solution.

4. Build a ranch-style post and rail fence

The classic post and rail fence is an easy, cost-effective solution to adding a boundary to your yard.

Traditionally used for containing livestock, this style of fence has all the charm of a country ranch. But, crucially, it doesn't impede on views, making it perfect if your property borders an attractive area, such as a woodland.

It's also a great solution if you have a particularly large yard to fence off.

5. Break up your fence with a living panel

You may have seen living wall ideas in the past, but did you know the solution can also be applied to garden fences?

'Living green walls are a common sight in towns these days, with plants growing to cover expanses of concrete and stretching to the sky in the urban environment. They are also increasingly being used in the home garden to transform walls and fences,' says gardening expert Leigh Clapp.

'Greening up the vertical plane is especially useful in small gardens, courtyards and balconies to use every perspective.'

To replicate this idea, you will need to need to attach a green wall pocket system to your fence – these are available at Amazon . This can then be densely planted with long-living evergreens. Bear in mind they need to be plants with shallow roots, as space will be limited.

6. Enclose an outdoor dining area with a low fence

(Image credit: Polly Eltes)

As well as defining the borders of your yard, a garden fence can also be used to demarcate a patio or give your outdoor dining ideas a boost.

Designing your garden in this way makes seating areas feel more secluded and gives a visual break on the landscape.

A low, open fence is ideal for maintaining views while also helping to support tall plants, although a louvered or close-panel fence allows for denser planting or even the addition of raised beds.

7. Make a plant theater display for your fence

(Image credit: Future)

Fences don't have to be plain, unimaginative expanses. Bring them to life with climbing plants or, as in this design, a plant theater.

Painted to match the fence, the theater can be used to display small potted plants, such as traditional primula auriculas – popular in the Victorian era – succulents or herbs.

Using terracotta pots adds a warm, rustic feel to the display.

8. Set up horizontal louvered fencing

(Image credit: Future / Mark Bolton)

Make a statement with horizontal louvered screening, instead of a traditional fence. It creates a designer look commonplace in show gardens, and the timbers are ideal for supporting plants. 

'If a solid fence would block out too much sun or you just want to create a little shade and privacy for a garden dining space, contemporary louvres are ideal,' says James. 

'They let in light and offer privacy while still blocking views, but unlike trellis they’re visually more substantial. '

Horizontal screens often go to the ground, but they can also be used to add height to an existing wall.   

If budgets are tight, there’s no need to install this type of fencing on every boundary; you could incorporate it into your patio ideas, or only use it close to the house.  

Use fencing like this to disguise untidy or unloved areas of the garden – it’s ideal for hiding recycling bins, compost heaps and the like. 

9. Install vertical fencing

(Image credit: Future / Mark Bolton )

A sturdy, mid-budget option, individual vertical timbers are attached one at a time to cross-supports. It eliminates gaps, and is one of the best garden ideas for privacy. It also allows you to custom build to fill whatever space you have.   

Cut down on labor costs by buying pre-made panels. Attach them to timber posts in the same was as any other fence panel.  

If you want to add an element of greenery to your garden fence ideas, then you can attach wire or mesh to the fence as a support for climbing plants or trees to espalier to give a distinctly modern feel.  

10. Consider trellis options

(Image credit: Future / Polly Wreford)

Panels with integrated trellis ideas might offer slightly less privacy initially, but the open, airy feel is undeniably elegant and perfect in small gardens, and if you can borrow a view from beyond your space will feel larger, too. 

They also present an ideal opportunity for climbers to interweave and create a more natural, green screen from neighbors. 

You could, of course, simply top a standard-height fence panel or wall with trellis. This adds height without compromising too much on light. 

Either way, once climbers are established and growing, they will break up the look of the solid wood and help the fence to merge with the rest of the garden.

11. Think about windier days

(Image credit: Future / Colin Poole)

Unless you have a sheltered garden, a solid fence will suffer more than those with open trelliswork. 

The wind can blow through the holes of trellis, rather than battering it – which will ultimately weaken the fence.

12. Add a coat of paint

Outdoor paint will not only make your garden fence ideas look good, it will give the timber added protection, too. 

There are plenty of colors to choose from when it comes to fence decoration, but wood generally looks better in more natural shades. Pale colors will lighten a dark garden, while darker colors allow the fence to fade into the background and make a great backdrop to planting. 

13. Go for an entirely natural garden fence

(Image credit: Future / Brent Darby)

Create a rustic, cottage look with willow fencing. It has the feel of traditional wattle but the strength of a modern panel, and makes a beautiful backdrop for most plants.

Willow hurdles, framed willow or hazel screens offer a more natural look and suit informal garden settings, but they may not be as strong (or last as long) as a pressure-treated timber panel. 

However, these natural woven fences are made from cuttings which encourage growth, making this an environmentally sustainable choice.

Shiplap is the most popular type of ready-made fence panel, offering good value and plenty of sizes. It is usually supported by concrete or timber posts, and needs to be treated with wood preserver regularly.   

If your current shiplap design is looking a little tired, give it a makeover by painting it in a distinctive color, with themed planting.

15. Create a boundary with an evergreen hedge

(Image credit: Future / Mark Bolton)

Evergreens are perfect for creating a boundary for your property and make the best privacy hedges; the permanent leaf cover of evergreen hedges can do a great job of keeping humans and animals out (or in), if you’re not partial to a traditional fence or wall. 

Evergreens come in all shapes and sizes – from the tiniest alpines to the tallest trees, so you’ll have no trouble finding one (or many) to suit your plot. 

16. Pitch up a picket fence

(Image credit: Future / Alun Callender)

Picket fences are usually used exclusively in front gardens, given their low height. However, they can be used for sectioning off areas in the backyard, such as obscuring unsightly bins. 

Picket fences are great for training plants up – and they also make good gateways for insects and small animals to pass through. 

'Usually painted white, they can look great painted in a range of pastel shades to complement your front door color,' says Rachel Crow, Gardens Editor, Homes & Gardens.

A favorite in the design world right now, horizontal slatted fencing is having something of a moment. 

This garden, designed by Lucy Wilcox , uses boundaries as art to create a garden that beautifully blends modernity with family-friendly functionality. 

‘I couldn’t just create a show garden, because it had to work as a practical family space, but I didn’t want it to look like a playground either,’ she says. 

She solved the conundrum with a design that embraced strong lines. Here, the fence is connected to the playroom for an element fluidity. It is a simple yet clever design.

18. Match fencing to furniture

(Image credit: Future / Annaick Guitteny)

'I love the echo of the garden fence in the bench in front of it in the backyard above,' says Lucy Searle, Editor in Chief, Homes & Gardens. 'Just as you would indoors, create moments of repetition like this in a backyard for a harmonious balanced feel. You can do it with anything from fencing materials to planting.'

What is the best fence for a garden? 

The best fence for a garden is one that will suit your surroundings, but also fits in with your chosen design aesthetic.

Privacy is a key consideration when considering garden fence ideas, as are aesthetics – is there a neighbouring building or shed that you want to screen off? How high can you go? 

While there are many things to consider, it is worth starting out with the right materials.

We suggest using fencing materials best suited to the style of garden you have. For example, use stone, concrete and sleek wood panels for urban gardens, and willow, timber and hedges for traditional or cottage-style gardens.

How can I make a garden fence look good? 

It is incredibly easy to make garden fence ideas look good, no matter what your budget may be.

If you inherit fences that you don’t like the look of, but don’t have the budget to replace, do not despair. Instead, think of it as a planting opportunity and look to flower bed ideas. 

Chain link fences make great trellises; plant a vigorous ramping rose with honeysuckle and evergreen clematis, and your unattractive fence will soon disappear under a fragrant wild boundary that wildlife and birds will enjoy.

Maintenance is another important factor to consider if you want to keep your fence looking good many years from now. Give fences an annual check for loose boards, panels or posts that need repairing. 

While most fencing material is pressure-treated wood, it can help to prolong the life of your fences if you apply a good timber care treatment.  

What can I use instead of a fence?

If a traditional garden fence ideas are not on your bucket list, fret not. There are many other options you might want to consider if you want to create a boundary.

A living screen and archway in the form of scented climbers makes for an informal border in a country-style garden. 

‘Wirework trellis panels offer the best support for plants to grow, creating an evergreen boundary that doubles as a habitat for birds, butterflied and bees,’ says Hilary Thurman of Garden Requisites .

Wildlife-friendly varieties include dog roses, honeysuckles and wisteria.

What is the cheapest fencing option?

'For those on a budget, traditional horizontal waney edge (lap) or vertical feather edge or close board panels, available at your local DIY store, are the cheapest option – certainly for long runs in the back yard,' says James.

'However, only choose these if you plan to partially obscure them with planting in front or train evergreen climbing plants up and over the top as they aren't the most aesthetically pleasing designs. '

If yours is a garden design where you are likely to see a lot of the boundary, it’s essential to choose something that won’t be an eyesore.

31 Fence Ideas for Privacy, Boundaries, & Unique Designs

Updated: | Categories: Fencing & Gates

Executing on the right yard fence ideas is the key to establishing the boundaries of your property, creating privacy if desired, and having a complementary fence design that matches the rest of your home's exterior and landscape.

A fence serves multiple purposes. We're here to give you various basic information and then provide a ton of inspirational pictures of many fence styles so you can start to form the basis of what you want and how you'll get it done.

Fence Concepts to Consider

As you browse through this article, think about your goal. Are you looking for security and privacy?

Do you just want a pretty, decorative fence around the entire border of your property? Do you need to keep children and pets from roaming free, falling into the pool, or staying out of the garden?

Beyond that, how tall will your fence be? What colors do you prefer that match the rest of your house's exterior? What materials do you like and do they watch your expectations in terms of maintenance and cleaning?

Think about those questions as you scroll the pictures below. But we'll also provide some information about the average costs of building a fence in terms of materials needed and the difference between doing it yourself or paying a company to install it.

Just remember... getting it right will be amazing. You can also risk creating an eyesore, so consulting a professional home designer might be wise, especially if you're attempting to raise your curb appeal.

Fence Costs & Fencing Materials

As you would expect, the price of fencing can vary drastically based on design and material used, if it's prefabricated or not, etc.

Estimates on the average cost, including all styles and materials, range from $13 to up to $25 per linear foot. That means it can get much higher too when you start talking about tall privacy fences, for example.

HomeGuide reports that the average homeowner will spend between $1,580 to $3,418 to install a fence. If you want to hire a professional, you'll spend about $50 to $70 an hour, which ends up being around $5 to $15 per linear foot.

If you need to level terrain, landscape grading costs an average of $125 per cubic foot! I'd be doing that myself, for sure.

A safe estimate on just the installation is about $5,000 per 1/4 acre of land.

Remember too, if you want to add a gate, you can spend anywhere from $100 to $750 per typical gate, though a driveway gate can go up to $7,500. Add in the costs for lighting, keypad entry, and other fence accessories.

These averages will vary depending on if you use any types of wood fences, chain-link, vinyl, steel, wrought iron, split rail, or any other material. If you have less acreage in your yard, you may choose to opt for a nicer material, or downgrade in order to cover more space.

Fence Ideas

From simple wooden or vinyl fences to the most elaborate styles made from molded metals, we've touched on all possible fence styles below. Once you identify what you like, you can take your investigation deeper into the details. Without further ado...

1. White Vinyl Picket Fence

This is your typical neighborhood fence style from the 1950's, the white picket fence. It's such a classic that it still exudes a sense of friendliness and openness associated with that time period. The only difference is we can now use vinyl, which is easier to keep clean.

2. Black Gothic Iron Fence

In a big city, you may prefer something a bit more indestructible like an iron or steel fence. The black gothic look also seems to say "don't mess with us here."

It can look great in a suburban area too, requiring nearly zero maintenance for years on end. The most you'll have to do in a decade is touch up the paint here and there.

3. Gabion Fence Segments

A gabion wall is a cheap method for building retaining wall alternatives, but clever landscapers discovered that using them in segments along a tall privacy fence makes for an attractive addition to an otherwise plain border.

4. Horizontal Slat Decorative Rail Fence

Perhaps the most attractive fencing idea on the list, this privacy barrier is created with wide horizontal slats built with hanging flower beds built in. This is incredible work that looks great even against the wall as shown in the image above.

5. High Privacy Fence with Lattice Top

A beautiful idea that blends into the landscaping is a pressure treated wood with a flat top, which then has a lattice top along the top. It lasts for decades, allows more sunshine through later in the day, and looks sweet once vines begin growing along it.

6. Low Height Wood & Iron Fence

In a neighborhood with very small lots, like 1/4 acre of land with tiny front yards, these small half height fences not only look great, but provide a safe area for children and small dogs to play.

7. Wooden Bollard Fence

Bollard fencing is attractive for several reasons. It looks sophisticated and classy but still allows plenty of air flow and sunlight through.

Small wildlife can still pass through as well, if you're into bunnies and squirrels perusing through your backyard. They're also nearly indestructible.

8. Spear Top Ornamental Steel Fence

The rails on this steel fence have spear tops, though I'd recommend going with a softer, rounder top so you don't end up hurting your hands. These are easy to install due to the prefabricated nature of their construction and look better than other cheaper methods.

9. Low Cost Wood Flat Top Fence with Chicken Wire

Sometimes you want a decent looking solution but can't break the bank. This type of wooden fencing works great due to needing less materials and is very sturdy. This family opted to adding chicken wire, presumably for keeping pets and kids in the yard.

10. Black Wrought Iron Fence

Like the #8 idea above, this wrought iron fence features spear tops and creates an obvious request to respect the property line but doesn't restrict sight or wind or tiny critters from moving freely. It's a classy look, especially around commercial property.

11. Spaced Picket Fence with Arch Top Gate

This older house, presumably downtown in some quaint city, has taken the classic white spaced picket fence up a notch. The addition of a tall, arch top gate where vines can grow looks fantastic, especially with the scallop dog ear gate. You can get really ornate gate latch types to show off as well as decorative hinges.

12. Hewn Log & Branch Fence

You may have a lot of ground to cover around your property. Maybe that's just for legal reasons like establishing the boundary and posting "no trespassing" signs. But you want it to look good too. The hewn log fence is a great choice that keeps cows and horses in their pasture as well.

13. Corrugated Metal Privacy Fence

Corrugated metal fences can look pretty shabby, but when framed out by stained wood it can become visually appealing, especially in a yard that's allowed to be more natural and wild. Adding a couple of flat top rails is the extra detail here that brings the whole design together.

14. Ponderosa Rail Fence

Another less expensive idea to cover a lot of ground is a ponderosa rail fence. It's basically evenly spaced posts with big holes cut through, big enough to run long metal poles through for the rails. The metal looks nicer than wood and requires less upkeep, especially along farm land.

15. Natural Wood, Low Cost Country Fence

Using natural wood sourced from a nearby forest can look cool, even colonial in the country, but the problem is they require constant maintenance if you don't seal all the wood. It looks cool but I don't recommend anyone actually build one of these styles of fencing.

16. Wood Flat Top Privacy Fence

Flat top wooden privacy fences are all the rage, especially in their natural state. Personally, I'd stain the wood a darker color so it's not such an obvious feature of the backyard and to help protect the wood. They look great, though, especially with the rails spaced out a bit.

17. White Vinyl Scallop Fence

A nice twist on the basic white picket fence is to make it a scallop fence, where the center between the posts has a smooth, downward curve in it. It implies a bit more effort went into it and brings an extra element of flair to your curb appeal.

18. Shadow Box Fence with Dog Ears

Look carefully at the shadow box fence above. Shadow box means that there are vertical slats on both sides but spaced in an alternating fashion so air, light, and even eyesight can pass through at the right angles.

You'll nearly double the amount of materials needed, but it's a nice touch. This is also a dog ear fence, meaning it's slightly less scalloped and the posts stick up at the peak of the waves.

19. Metal Flat Top Fence with Wood Privacy Wall

Here's another lattice top fence, but the lattice and posts are metal, with the privacy aspect being made from and framed out by wood. This is the darker staining I'm talking about.

This not only looks great but will last for a lifetime. In my mind, this is an example of building correctly the first time so you don't have to mess with it again later.

20. Grid Flat Top Climbers Fence

The grid built into this fence is perfect if you want to allow fresh air to flow but eventually gain all of the privacy of a solid wall. This is achieved by growing vines and climbing vegetables along the outside so vision is obscured from outsiders. This works especially well with wattle fences.

21. Simple Bamboo Slat Fence

This is an extremely inexpensive fence build that looks like a lot more effort went into it than did. Bamboo, like other wood, can be sealed from the elements so it lasts a lot longer than you'd expect.

You could even grow your own types of bamboo to pull this off if you cared to take the time.

22. Wooden Split Rail Fence for Horses

I had to include the classic split rail fence that's often used to keep in horses, cows, and even emus (I had a neighbor once that had like 10 of those birds, they were mean). These are very easy and quick to build and don't require much intervention except when the random rail board rots.

23. White Vinyl Flat Top Fence

Everyone likes a white fence and doesn't want to have to clean it or fix anything, which is why you keep seeing vinyl being used as the construction material.

In this case it's a tall flat top fence, perfect for privacy and attractive. It lets bushes pop out visually when grown around the border.

24. Basic Suburban Black Chain Link Fence

For the sake of completion, I've included a chain link fence. These folks at least got the black, soft plastic around all the metal, but in general I'd avoid chain link unless you're really pressed on the budget.

They're fast for professionals to install if you're going that route, which will be cheaper. They just don't look that great when all of these other options exist.

25. Stone Fence with Vinyl & Iron Gate

This stone fence is what I like and want to build soon. This appears to be actual stones, but you can build it out of cinder block and then use concrete to add cut stones on the outside to mimic this look (and save money, especially on transportation and labor).

The addition of the iron gate between the vinyl segments was a nice touch.

26. Wood Grain Vinyl Privacy Fence

I've obviously got a thing for privacy fences. This is a solid wall with a lattice top made from wood grain vinyl so it takes on a "real wood" appearance.

You're going to blow dirt and grass along the bottom when doing lawn maintenance so the vinyl lets you simply spray it off. The time savings on cleaning can't be understated.

27. Bamboo & Concrete Fence

Here's another bamboo fence with concrete segments (or is it the other way around?). This mixture saves money, looks great, and defends from stray vehicles.

I'd might do something a bit more decorative than blank walls but it looks okay as is. I'd install some hanging plant containers or something.

28. Simple Wire Fence with Spaced Picket Slats

These simple types of wire fencing are included for you beachside homeowners. It looks appropriate for the environment and luckily for you is extremely inexpensive. As you can see, the wood slats can break and rot quickly, so consider using vinyl if possible.

29. Classy Wooden Horizontal Slats Fence

This is one of my favorite entries on the list. It's simple horizontal wood slats spaced out evenly, but it looks extremely classy. You can see through it but not perfectly. The addition of the street numbers on another board is plain but looks great in this context.

30. Cheap Repurposed Pallet Fence

I saw this and just had to include it. It's nothing more than pallets being re-used to create a makeshift fence. This can be done in a permanent fashion that lasts for years, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you want to look goofy.

No matter how much you paint it and clean up the yard around this fence, it just looks trashy in my opinion. Don't do this to your neighbors!

31. Wooden Flat Top Fence with Brick Posts

What you're looking at here is a masterpiece. The brick posts and foundation match the bricks of the house, the wood slats are in shadow box formation but there's also a flat top between the domed posts. This looks great if you want complete privacy without hurting curb appeal.

Good Luck With Your Fence Design

I hope you've enjoyed glancing at these fence ideas and they have your gears turning. I recommend settling on a fence style first and then seeking more inspiration of that type only. Then go sit on your patio and stare out at the border of your yard and it'll all start to click.

Remember, any of these can be downsized to a swimming pool fence or garden fence, too. Good luck!

Modular fences "Border" from the company "Profstal": a fence on the principle of a children's designer - Commercial

The structures are called modular because they consist of separate sections that are quickly and easily assembled into a single structure. You can order the required number of supports and any filling for them: corrugated board, siding, facade panel, fence board, profile pipe. There are many options - for every taste. A rich selection of colors and textures will allow you to harmoniously fit the fence into the landscape and make it a real decoration of a summer cottage, garden or backyard.

Compared to a conventional fence, modular fences are much faster in assembly: you can assemble a fence yourself several times faster than with the involvement of professional builders. In a matter of hours, the site will be protected from outsiders. A neat, beautiful fence assembled according to your design will bring joy and a sense of security for many years.

Border modular fences have many other advantages. Judge for yourself: they are not subject to rotting and corrosion. The fence can be dismantled and subsequently assembled in a new place. By choosing "Border" modular fences for your site, the owner has the opportunity to satisfy his preferences and match his style: peace and complete privacy or the opportunity to admire the surroundings without feeling cut off from the world. The fence can be either solid or sectional. Modular fences "Border" allow you to realize any wishes.

Installation of the "Border" is simple, the structure can be installed both in the ground and on the foundation. The design of the "Border" is lightweight: it is a guarantee of the possibility of self-installation of the fence without special skills in construction in the shortest possible time.

Modular railings "Border" has several significant advantages:

The developers approached the matter with all responsibility. The "border" is made of 1.2 mm thick hot-dip galvanized steel with a polymer coating, which ensures wear resistance.

Polymer-coated profile pipe with seam connection. Fasteners with holes are mounted using self-tapping screws 4.2 × 19 mm. Installation does not require welding equipment. The special geometry of the profile gives the structure additional rigidity.

The assembly instructions are simple and clear. To assemble a fence, you need a puncher, a screwdriver, a hammer, a hacksaw, a wrench, a level and a marking cord from the tools.

Instructions for assembling the modular structure "Border"

Filling "Border": what material to choose?

Plant "Profstal" offers to complete the "Border" with the following materials:

Let's see what advantages each of them has.

Decking is thin corrugated galvanized steel sheets. Marking "C" is applied to wall corrugated board, it is used to install fences. Also, this material is used for facade cladding. In the designation of the material, in addition to the abbreviation, there are numbers indicating the height of the wave. The main advantages of corrugated board is the fact that it is not subject to corrosion, rotting, durable, aesthetic. With a more rigid profile, corrugated board perfectly absorbs noise. At the same time, it is considered one of the most budgetary materials intended for creating fences.

Corrugated euroboard - a variation on the theme of siding. Euroboard provides a durable and resistant to impact and wind load surface. This material is also not afraid of corrosion.

Another option for filling the modular structure "Border" is metal siding "ship board". This material, which quickly won one of the leading positions in the Russian construction market, imitates plank sheathing. Due to its shape, it is incredibly easy to install and easy to use. Due to its spectacular appearance and excellent performance data, "Shipboard" competes with natural finishing materials. In addition, this type of finish is able to self-clean. It is enough to go rain, as your fence becomes clean again. No rain? A garden hose will do the job of cleaning.

Facade panel is a beautiful and wear-resistant cladding material. The Profstal company produces panels in various colors, including natural wood, bronze, silver and brick colors. The façade panel is distinguished by natural aesthetics combined with the lightness and durability inherent in modern materials.

Fans of the traditional approach choose a 25 mm wide fence board to complete the modular enclosing structure "Border". It is known as "inch" - a natural board made of coniferous wood. Unlike its technological counterparts, it requires painting and special care. At the same time, the use of this material allows assembly without the use of self-tapping screws.

A "deaf" fence has a number of advantages, however, owners of personal plots and cottages often stop their choice on a strong and "serious" profile pipe. Fences made of this type of material are used for administrative and public buildings, parks, squares. Equipping the modular design "Border" with a profile pipe from the company "Profstal" is easy - this also does not require self-tapping screws. The profile pipe is made of 0.7 mm thick hot-dip galvanized steel with a polymer coating without the use of welds. The seam connection ensures the integrity of the zinc and polymer coating and increases the service life of the building envelope pipe.

Profstal plant: building materials for Siberia

The modular design "Border" is a proprietary development of the Irkutsk plant "Profstal" - a modern enterprise that occupies one of the leading positions in the market of thin-sheet steel building materials. Profstal products enjoy well-deserved respect not only in the Irkutsk region, but also in other regions of Siberia, the Far East, and even in the western part of the country. One of the secrets of the success of the plant's products, which now has more than 300 items, is increased corrosion resistance and durability even in the conditions of the Siberian winter.

It's no secret that product quality is unthinkable without high-quality raw materials and professional equipment. The Irkutsk plant "Profstal" has its own production facilities and the most modern equipment. And these are not empty words. Lines of leading manufacturers from England, Finland and Russia are installed here.

Only high-quality galvanized steel and polymer-coated steel from foreign and domestic manufacturers are used in production. The main suppliers of raw materials are well-known rolled metal companies AN Steel, Dongbu Steel, as well as the Novolipetsk Iron and Steel Works and the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works.

Profstal not only promises, but also guarantees the optimal solution of all problems that arose during construction and repair. Metal tiles, corrugated board, siding, sandwich panels, fencing systems, construction, frame, and facade profiles, components for roofing and facade systems, a gutter system and a unique cornice system, which has no analogues in Russia - all this can be ordered at the sales departments of the Irkutsk factory. Now here you can also purchase a new development of the company - the modular enclosing structure "Border".
