Beautiful gates is like a complement of modern buildings, therefore, the building architecture is the main criteria whilst choosing the fence. Currently, the choice of fences is bigger from what was previously available. The fence solution can be made by its price as well as design.
Currently, the choice of wiry fences is mostly developed. Such type of fences is easy to build in. Visually, they are even quite simple, though suitable for almost any classic style building. Wiry fences can be made of different steel whereas the quality of fences depends on the rigidity of the wire. The more expensive the wire, the higher level of rigidity you can expect. There are two types of wiry fences - panel fences and roll fences. Manufacturers of wiry fences offer fences not only for individual houses but also industrial objects. Wires used for the fences of private houses normally come in a much smaller diameter, whereas the holes of the fences are much bigger, thus, it means that they are not that secure. Manufacturers of serial fences also offer portable fences, which are great for mass events in order to fence part of the territory or for a required access.
The market also contains constructional fences on the concrete base. Such type of fences can be normally observed in constructional areas. Wiry fences are called the mass production ones; they can be purchased in large quantities. What is more, this type of fences can be easily fixed and convenient, though design solutions are normally simple and not too sophisticated.
Though known since long time ago, brick-built fences are also still fashionable and popular. The main characteristic of such fences is stability, strength and durability. Brick-built fence is like a fortress, that's why such fences look more secure. Quite often, houses contain fences which have bricked bollards, whereas the fence itself is wattled. Such fences are more individual and transparent, though the bricked bollards bring stability.
Carved metal fences are stylish and individual - visually catching, more exclusive as if telling about the taste and financial status of the owner. However, its price is high and they are the most expensive ones. Such type of fences is manufactured on request.
Metal fences can be boiled or clinched. Clinched fences are slightly more expensive than the boiled ones. Some professionals claim that boiled fences are also more durable. However all the manufactured fences are being galvanized, therefore, they are not different regardless of whether the fences are boiled or clinched. Metal carved fences are more transparent and do not cover the part of a building; they are more of an accent, a complement.
However, such type of fences make the impression of being very much heavy in weight and do not correspond to the metal carved fence idea. It should be supervised that the diameter/cross-section of metal bars or tubes would not be smaller than 15 mm and bigger than 25 mm. Massive bollards and massive fences are suitable for the fencing of massive ad large buildings as well as castles, not for the simple private houses.
It is very important to match the architectural style of the fence and the building itself. Design possibilities of metal carved fences are very wide - it is possible to carve the fences which consist of identical elements, for example, bars, though some key element or pattern could also be carved.
Metal carved fences look great together with bricks, bricked bollards. Various torches can be combined with such type of fences. Whilst combining these elements, it is possible to find unrepeatable individual solutions and create a particular atmosphere in all of the area.
Wooden fences do not loose its relevance either. This is a classical and very much economic solution which is chosen by a large amount of individual house owners. Wood opens a wide range of visual opportunities. If only it is affordable, it is possible to choose individual wood carvings not only for the fence itself but also the gates. It would be also interesting to use the sheets placed not vertically or straight but, for example, 45 degrees with a corner towards the base. Various wooden wattled fences can also make a sophisticated impression which is suitable for a particular style of timbered building facades. Of course, it should be noted that wood should be handled with care and all the wood construction should be specially processed to make sure the weather conditions would make no damage and the durability would be extended. Wooden fences are normally processed from conifers; therefore, they are relatively cheap and resistant to natural conditions. Wood should be also handled with care in the process of working (metal bars, wire and brick requires less care).
The choice of fences depends on what kind of effect you want to create. If a fence is used only for the visual separation of the territory, then the best solution is a hedge, which can be fixed in numerous ways with a stylish effect. However, if the fence is needed for security reasons, it is best to go for a firm, stable fence and gates. In order to ensure a long-term fence service, it is of a high importance to consider not only the materials but also the fitting of the fence. Most often, the bollards are chosen of the same material as the fence itself: metal fence goes with metal bollards, wooden fence with wooden bollards. Gates is an important part of the fences. Gates should be considered for both cars and pedestrians. Each fence has its own gates, though different materials can be combined. Gates should be stable and tougher that the fence itself.
