Decking is considered one of the most popular and inexpensive building materials used to make a fence. It is chosen primarily because of its affordable price, since a thin metal sheet will be relatively cheap compared to the same sawn timber. Secondly, fences made of corrugated board are durable, durable, reliable and easy to maintain. Read about installing profiled sheets on the fence in step by step instructions.
Sheets of corrugated board have 3 types of marking:
- H (material for roofing);
- C (for the construction of fences and walls);
- NS (universal, used both for the construction of walls and for roofs).
The most optimal material for the fence is corrugated board C10, C20, C21, HC 35 (the number after the letter is the height of the "wave", expressed in millimeters). The maximum length of the profiled sheet is set by the manufacturer, and it can vary from 0.4 m to 12-14 m, but a 2-meter height is considered standard.
| Marking | Full width, mm | Useful width, mm | Wall thickness, mm | Profile height, mm | Step between ribs, mm |
| C8 | 1200 | 1150 | 0.4-0.8 | 8 | 62.5 |
| C10 | 1155 | 1100 | 0.4-0.8 | 10 | 45 |
| C20 | 1150 | 1100 | 0.45-0.7 | 20 | 137.5 |
| C21 | 1051 | 1000 | 0.4-0.7 | 21 | 65 |
| HC35 | 1060 | 1000 | 0.5-0.9 | 35 | 70 |

Prices
The price for a sheet of corrugated board depends on several factors:
- Features of the coating: galvanized sheet will cost less than a product made of metal coated with polymer;
- The thickness of the sheet and the height of the corrugation: the greater these indicators, the higher the price, respectively;
- Features of the texture: a sheet of corrugated board, stylized as a stone, wood or brick is more expensive than a plain canvas;
- Manufacturer's brand;
- The presence of intermediaries in the manufacturer-buyer chain.
Construction organizations and individuals offer work on the installation of turnkey profiled sheets. Here, prices in each city vary greatly, and you need to call and find out more accurate numbers, informing the amount of work, the distance to the object, the presence of additional costs - for example, for, and other details.
If we consider the prices (Moscow and the Moscow region), which are set by manufacturing companies, then we can say that the price tags for this type of material are very diverse. For example, the company "DiPOS" offers to buy the professional flooring Н1140.9 at the price of 298 rubles / piece, and in "Metallservice" it will be 277 rubles / piece. The Metal Group company sets prices based on the size of litas, and the price per 1 m² varies from 193 rubles. up to RUB 613 depending on the type of corrugated board. On the other hand, manufacturing companies offer wholesale buyers fairly substantial discounts and favorable terms of cooperation. Therefore, for a large construction site, it is recommended to order a large batch of sheets at once.
Note: the demand for corrugated board is seasonal: the peak is in May-October, therefore, during this period, there may be a slight increase in prices. Those planning to update their site are advised to stock up on material before the start of the summer cottage season.
How profiled sheets are made on a machine (video):
When constructing a summer cottage, any owner is faced with the choice of materials for the fence structure. Naturally, not only the stability, strength and reliability of the fence are taken into account, but also its aesthetic appearance. In the article we will consider the question - which decking is better for a fence?
Many people believe that fences made of stone, brick or concrete have the most high strength characteristics... Meanwhile, certain shortcomings of these materials cast doubt on this theory. In the first place is the problem with the installation of such fences. A person without construction skills is unlikely to cope with this task, it will waste a lot of time and effort stirring concrete mortar... Such problems can be avoided only by installing a fence made of corrugated board. Special knowledge, in this case, is not needed, the purchase of expensive tools is not required. An important fact is low material cost, incomparable with the price of brick or wood.
Let's figure out what corrugated board is, and what is its popularity in construction. Profiled sheeting is made with large sheets of processing bent iron without heating, that is, in a cold way. With the help of machine rolling, stiffeners are obtained on the surface of the sheets various shapes... The profiled sheet has a protective coating on both sides: it can be polymer, plastic ash or galvanized.
Types of corrugated board
Polymer coating. The polymer coating is obtained by mixing synthetic resin with plastic. It performs both a decorative role and a high protective one. The color of the corrugated board is obtained with special ingredients. The polymer layer is not affected by the sun's rays, which allows the coating to not be renewed for a long time. This type of corrugated board is perfectly combined with natural stone and brick. The aesthetic appearance of corrugated board with polymer coating fully justifies the high price of the material.
Plastisol coating. As it is already clear from the name, the sheet of corrugated board and plastisol coating is processed with the word plastisol, the thickness of which increases its resistance to mechanical stress and negative influences.
Galvanized coating. A layer of hot zinc is applied to galvanized sheets, which allows its use in the construction of fences and sheds. The price of this type of corrugated board is quite affordable, despite its high strength and excellent quality. Owners of private houses should choose profiled sheeting, coated on the outside with a polymer layer, and on the inside with zinc.
Benefits of using corrugated board
- This material lends itself to quick installation without subsequent difficulties. The high speed of work is noteworthy - two or three days. The stages of installation are divided into marking the fence line, installing pillars for support, fastening the beams across and fastening the corrugated board itself.
- In the process of building a fence, corrugated board can be used in combination with other materials, which makes the fence more attractive and unique. It will also not be superfluous to match this combination with the overall design of a private house.
- Length of corrugated sheets reaches up to 12 meters, which allows its construction to any height. If the height is cut in half, the cost of the material will be cut in half.
- The need to build complex structures according to complex drawings is eliminated. The presence of sheets, crossbars and pillars is sufficient.
- We also note the high sound insulation properties corrugated board, which well drown out street noise.
- There is no need for constant touch-up and repair of the sheet surface. You can clean it with ordinary water from a hose.
How to choose a corrugated fence for a fence?
The height of the corrugation of the profiled sheet should be 20 mm, and the thickness of the sheet should be 70 mm. During the purchase process, you must check the above parameters. It is not worth buying too thick corrugated board, since in this case the money will be wasted. The surface of the corrugated board must be smooth, and the edges must be free of burrs. Check the identity of the sheets in the batch, thickness and color. For the fence, the most suitable are considered professional sheets of type C10. They are also used for wall cladding and vertical structures. The raw material manufacturer is also considered an important selection criterion. Very often, cheap Chinese products, which have a very short service life and low operational properties, began to be supplied to the Russian market.
Conclusion:
Why do many people recommend buying exactly corrugated board for fences? First of all is durability and reliability with a long service life. The low cost of the material is available to any buyer. The fence can be an excellent protection from wind, prying eyes and perform the role of noise insulation material... The variety of colors will allow you to choose the most suitable color for the general appearance of the structure, and a reliable coating will allow you not to repair and paint the material for a long time.
Currently, fences must combine strength, stability, reliability, aesthetics, they must fit perfectly into the landscape design of the site. All of the above qualities are combined in a fence made of profiled sheets.
Profile sheets belong to the solid type of fences. They are made from high quality galvanized steel.
Basic rules for choosing profiled sheets for a fence:
Rule 1. Initially, the indicators of quality and thickness of the material are checked. It should be noted that the indicator, which indicates the size of the sheet thickness, denotes specifically the thickness of the material from which it is made, without taking into account the size of the layer of polymer coatings. Therefore, the variation in the dimensions of the sheet thickness is from 0.4 to 0.7 mm.
Rule 2. When purchasing profiled sheets, sellers must be asked for confirmation that this product meets all the requirements and manufacturing standards.
Rule 3. Profiled sheets are divided into types that characterize their purpose. When purchasing of this material for the construction of the fence, it is not recommended to use the bearing type of sheets, since the fence will not be under load.
Rule 4. The acquired profile sheets for the construction of the fence must be from the same batch (identical in relation to each in color, thickness, metal).
Rule 5. This material excludes violation of geometric characteristics. The ends of the sheet should be perfectly flat, without flaws.
This material has a special marking, which determines its purpose and main characteristics:
1. Abbreviation of letters at the beginning of the sheet:
- N (carrier) - used to work with the roof;
- C (wall) - used for fences, walls;
- NS (universal) - used both for working with the roof and for working with walls, a fence.
2. After the letter, the first number in the abbreviation is indicated, which is responsible for the size of the profile height (wave height, mm).
3. The second number - deciphers the useful width of the material (mm).
4. The third digit indicates the thickness of the steel from which the sheet is made (mm).
The marking is worth taking into account, but it is worth taking into account some of the subtleties of this material. For example, you can see that the C8 sheet is characterized by a larger usable area in relation to the C21 sheet, therefore, for the same length of the fence of the first type of fence, less will be needed than the second. But, C21 sheet has an advantage in strength over C8, because it has a large wave height. Also, professional sheets of the C21 brand are characterized by an attractive, aesthetic appearance.
For the installation of protective structures, profile sheets are used, which belong to the C type. The size of the wave height should be 21 mm, the thickness of the sheet itself should be 0.7 mm and more.
The advantages of using profiled sheets for a fence
Since the material from which the profiled sheets are made has plasticity, the fence being constructed from its base takes on a variety of shapes and sizes. The color scheme of the color has a wide range, thanks to which it is possible to satisfy the individual wishes of the client.
Before buying profiled sheets for building a fence, you need to decide in advance on the color scheme and type.
Among the main advantages are strength, which depends on the stiffeners. This type of fence is reliable protection area from the wind, noise, drinking, hostile looks.
The profiled sheet is highly resistant to all weather conditions. Thanks to galvanizing, the material copes well with all weather conditions, resistant to corrosion processes. For greater protection, the profiled sheets cover polymer coating... This fence does not need special complex maintenance, it can be easily washed if it gets dirty.
This material is very easy to assemble. It, without much effort, can be installed independently, but for reliability and guarantee of operation, it is recommended to use the services of professionals in this area.
If one of the sheets is damaged overall design fence, it can be easily replaced with a new one. Variations in the texture and colors of the sheets allow you to combine them with other materials. From this material, you can build a fence of a sufficiently high height (up to 12 m).
Before building a fence from these sheets, there is no need to construct preliminary structures for the base. Since it consists directly of the profiled sheets themselves, which are mounted on special support posts with crossbars.
The main types of profiled sheets for a fence
Galvanized profiled sheets. At the heart of these sheets is a galvanized steel sheet, which is excellent for a variety of fences of industrial sites and facilities. In rare cases, it is used to build fences on summer cottagesbecause it does not have aesthetic, decorative advantages for decoration.
Profiled sheets with polymer coating on one side. On this type of material, the plastic film only covers one side of the fence. The assortment of sheets with one-sided polymer application has a wide range, aesthetic and decorative features, therefore it is mainly used for fencing suburban property.
Profiled sheets with double-sided polymer coating. It belongs to the most convenient and quite practical variety, since the polymer coating is applied to both sides of the sheet. It is slightly more expensive than the previous one.
When building fences, profiled sheets with different types of coverage are used.
The polyester coating is 25 microns thick. It is characterized by a varied color palette. The matt polyester coating has a thickness of 35 microns, it is characterized by very interesting unusual decorative and aesthetic features.
All types of profiled sheet coverings differ in properties and prices. In this regard, with what covering to build a protective structure depends on the characteristics and operating conditions of the fence.
Profiled sheet imitating stone, wood, brick covering. A relatively new type of coating, characterized by several layers that are outwardly similar to the texture of wood, stones, bricks. This view fence will emphasize the individuality of any site. This coating will last much longer than any other because it has many layers.

Advantages of corrugated board for a fence
In the production of corrugated board, cold-rolled steel with various polymer coatings is used.
At manufacturing plants, these types of steel are manufactured using a complex technology:
- the steel sheet is covered with a phosphate anti-corrosion layer;
- a primer is applied on both sides of the sheet;
- the inside of the sheet is covered with a protective varnish;
- the outer side of the sheet is covered with a special polymer coating of various colors.
The corrugated board is manufactured in two versions:
- roofing corrugated board (designated by the letters "NS");
- wall corrugated board (denoted by the letter "C").
They are characterized by:
- high mechanical strength;
- high corrosion resistance;
- low weight;
- long service life;
- modern design;
- quick installation.
The corrugated board is packed in packs, covered with plastic wrap and marked. In order to avoid damage to the sheet surfaces, it is necessary to provide a place for their storage in advance, away from the places of movement of equipment and people. It is better to remove the packing foil just before installation.
