Correct installation of a fence on a grave. Making a grave fence with your own hands

The grave must be fenced. This is not just a way to make it well-groomed, to mark boundaries, but also to protect it from animals entering the territory. Installation can be ordered from a specialized company, but the cost of the fence is usually quite high. Therefore, it is worth trying to make a fence with your own hands - it is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance.

Types of fences

Fences are made from a variety of materials:

• made of wood;
• forged metal;
• profile pipe;
• made of concrete or stone (granite, marble);
• plastic;
• with the help of green spaces.

Using these materials, you can make a fence on the grave yourself, thereby making a personal contribution, honoring the memory of the deceased.

Made of wood

The tree is valued for its light weight and simple work with him. Using a minimal set of tools, you can make a fence of any complexity. Typically, wood species such as larch, oak or cedar are used, since they are most resistant to adverse weather conditions - moisture, sun, temperature changes. The use of other types of wood requires treatment of the structure with special protective agents and impregnations. Wooden fencing it needs to be updated annually - cleaned of dirt, primed, painted.

Made from concrete

A monumental fence can be made of concrete, and the cost of the material will be cheaper than using stone. Typically, sections cast from concrete mortar are used. They can be decorated with a pattern or imitate the structure of another material - brick, stone. The disadvantage of a concrete fence is its relatively short service life. The strength of the structure and durability depend on the quality of the material used in the manufacture of the sections, as well as the correct proportions when mixing the solution.

From stone

Just like monuments, stone fences are made of granite or marble chips. Granite is a very strong and durable material that can last for decades. But the cost of this stone is very significant. Granite fences do not require maintenance and are not subject to negative external influences, including fire, or mechanical stress.

Welded

Most often, metal is used to make fences. This can be explained by its strength to deformation, stability, wide opportunity for decoration. To do this, profile pipes of round or rectangular cross-section are used, which are welded together. The material is relatively inexpensive, so fences are made various shapes and heights. To protect the material from corrosion, a primer is used, as well as a special paint for metal. The simplest manufacturing option welded structure consists of installing posts to which sections of metal chain are attached.

Forged

It is difficult to make a fence with forging elements yourself without blacksmithing skills. Therefore, forged grave fences are usually ordered from specialists. The metal is subjected to special technological treatment when high temperature. Forged structures are expensive, but very durable and not subject to corrosion.

Plastic

Modern fences for graves can be made of plastic. This reinforced polypropylene has sufficient strength to withstand moisture, high and low temperatures in any season. Plastic structures– lightweight, easy to install, cheap. They do not need to be painted or exposed special treatment, unlike metal or wooden fences.

Vegetable

You can make a fence with your own hands without any materials. Plants designed to form a hedge will help with this. They grow quickly, and some varieties remain green even in winter.

Self-production

Before making a fence for a grave with your own hands, it is recommended to prepare a drawing describing the necessary details and decorative elements, the presence or absence of a gate, all sizes. The sketches will help in the future when installing the fence.

Since the most common are concrete and metal fences for graves, we will next consider methods for their manufacture and installation. We are not considering forged fences, because it is quite difficult to make them yourself, and installation is carried out in the same way as metal ones.

Concrete

To do it yourself concrete blocks, will be needed following materials and tools:

• sand, cement, small crushed stone for mortar;
• plasticizers and other additives for concrete strength;
• dyes;
• epoxy impregnation;
• lumber or ready-made forms for the manufacture of sections;
• tools: grinder, hammer drill, shovel, level, spatula.

To make molds, lumber is used - boards. To make it convenient to transport the blocks to the installation site, they are made in size 120x150 cm. To give greater strength, reinforcement is placed in the concrete solution.

Concrete is prepared from cement, sand and crushed stone and poured inside wooden forms. When the blocks harden, they are ground and then polished. Using dyes and impregnations, concrete sections are given a look similar to granite or marble.

Metal

Do-it-yourself metal fencing for a grave is made by welding. In this case, all sections need to be assembled in the workshop, and only their installation must be done on site. Metal fence manufacturing process:

• All necessary measurements are taken, a design project is drawn up with calculations of the required materials.
• Profile pipes are cut into pieces of the required length, the welding areas are cleaned and degreased.
• First, you can weld the frame, which is filled with a grid of pipe sections or fittings. The drawing can be anything. The simplest patterns can be attached to corners, bolts and screws.
• After assembly, the sections are cleaned of scale, rust and dust, and degreased. Then the metal is coated with primer paint or special compounds that imitate patina.

How to install a fence in a cemetery

Regardless of the material used, there are three ways to install fences:

• Installation inside the plinth.

A plinth is made of granite or concrete into which a fence post is installed. This method is used for heavy stone structures. You can finish the concrete plinth with tiles. The advantage of this method is that the fence can be removed for replacement or repair.

• Installing a fence on posts with a concrete base.

Dig holes into which concrete is poured. Then the pillars are installed there. A strong foundation is created that will withstand any weather conditions and temperature changes.

• Digging posts into the ground.

The pillars are dug into recesses into which crushed stone is first poured. This is a quick and easy installation method that does not require any installation costs. Additional materials, as in the case of making a plinth or concreting a base. The only requirement when driving in pillars is their clear alignment at the same level.

Often, not one, but several methods are used.

Thus, installing the fence on your own is quite simple. To do this you need to have minimal welding and construction skills, the right tool material at hand.

In any cemetery, a fence is installed around the grave. The purpose of this structure is to mark the boundaries of the burial site, protect against the penetration of wild animals and improve appearance graves. Today, at almost every cemetery there are companies that will manufacture, deliver and install almost any fencing. However, the cost of their services is quite high.

Having a set of household tools and basic skills in using them, you can install a fence on a grave with your own hands. This will allow you to save some money and get moral satisfaction from the fact that the arrangement of your final refuge loved one done by yourself.

To perform this work, you can use almost any material. You just need to calculate and maintain the dimensions of the fence. At the same time, we must remember that you cannot go beyond the limits specified in the passport for the grave.

Manufacturing and installation of fencing is only half of the total scope of work. It is very important to correctly install the finished product; the quality of this work will determine how long it will last and how durable it will be.

To install a fence on a grave, the following methods are most often used:

1. The supports are simply dug in. This method is used when a lightweight structure is being installed or a temporary structure is being installed. In this case, the supports are lowered into the prepared holes and secured with the help of fragments of brick or small stones. This is done quickly and easily, but such a design cannot be considered reliable. When soil heaving occurs, the supports can be squeezed out and warped. Most often, after the first winter you have to make repairs or replacements.
2. Concreting of supports. This more reliable option also requires more effort. The hole for the supports is dug to such a depth that its bottom is below the level to which the soil freezes. The installed and leveled pillars are poured with concrete. The preparation of the solution should be carried out directly at the installation site of the supports.
3. Manufacturing strip foundation. This option is used when the material used for the fence is natural stone or concrete. After installation work the base can be designed depending on the preferences of the person making it. Some people are content with polishing the concrete and then coating it with varnish. Others are tiled.

What material can be used to make grave fences?

Typically, when choosing the material from which to make your own grave robber, several criteria are taken into account. The main one is the financial capabilities of the relatives of the buried person. The following is the presented view finished product. And of course, an important role is given to the skills of the person who is going to make the fence.

Wooden fencing

Wood is a material with low specific gravity and beautiful texture. It is easy to process and is a pleasure to work with. You can make supports from wood that will be original. However, he is under pressure negative impact increased moisture and ultraviolet radiation. A product made from this material requires constant care, unless larch, oak or cedar were used.

When choosing a material, you should pay attention to the degree of dryness and correct geometry. If the wood is well dried, it will not move under the influence of precipitation. It is well absorbed different types paints and impregnations that make the structure less susceptible to moisture and sunlight.

1. A suitable sketch is selected and drawings are made from it.
2. The timber, slats and boards are marked.
3. The cut is carried out in accordance with the applied markings.
4. The wood is decorated, that is, cuts, notches and notches are made in the designated places.
5. Each of the workpieces is cleaned of burrs, ground and polished. And sometimes they fire with an open flame.
6. Impregnation treatment is carried out. After applying the first layer, let it dry completely and apply a new one. And so on up to three times. When the primer is completely dry, the surface is painted. Moreover, the paint must be chosen so that it is resistant to moisture, frost and direct sunlight.
7. The individual parts are assembled into a single structure. To fix them, you can use self-tapping screws, bolts or corners, for the manufacture of which non-ferrous metal was used.
8. The fence is being installed. If wooden support will be immersed in concrete or soil, its surface is generously lubricated with grease, over which roofing material is wound. This will provide protection from moisture.

Every year the structure must be cleaned of dirt and mold, and also tinted.

Metal fencing

To make a metal fence, use steel, copper or aluminum. The first is characterized by ease of processing, cost and durability. Most often used profile pipe or fittings. The supports are connected by means of separate sections or chains. Both are hung on hooks.

Taking into account the fact that there is no electrical distribution throughout the cemetery, which means it will not be possible to connect electric tools, All preparatory work are still produced at home. The individual parts are connected to each other with bolts or rivets.

The sequence of manufacturing a metal fence is as follows:

1. At the cemetery, measurements are taken, on the basis of which a product design is drawn. Based on it, the required materials are calculated.
2. The individual sections are being assembled.
3. Metal deposits, rust and scale are removed from all parts. They are treated with an anti-corrosion primer and, after it dries, painted. For this purpose it is used acrylic paint, or special compositions designed to imitate a silver or bronze patina.

To install, use one of the following methods:

1. The supports are lowered into the pits and filled with concrete. In this case, you need to be very precise and attentive. After all, if you deviate even a little from the vertical, assembling the workpieces will become very difficult.
2. Fastening using mortgages embedded in concrete in advance. Positive aspects This method is to facilitate the assembly process, and the ability to dismantle it for repair or restoration work.

The metal fence is serviced as the need arises.

Concrete fencing

The components of concrete are quite affordable. And if you know how to make complex formwork, you can get very original products. The whole process is divided into three stages.

First, supports and removable sections are made:

• Using boards, forms are built into which concrete will be poured. To give strength, each part is reinforced.
• The solution is mixed. To add presentability to the fence, special fillers are used to emphasize the brightness and richness of the concrete.
• Forms are being filled. Once the concrete has hardened, it is pulled out, ground and polished.

Secondly, a strip foundation is made:

• It is necessary to dig a trench at least 100 cm deep. Its width can vary from 40 to 50 cm. The bottom is lined with crushed stone and sand.
• Formwork is installed, the walls of which are insulated using polyethylene or tar.
• Stacked reinforcement cage, while making sure to leave space for supports.
• The pillars are installed strictly vertically in the trench. The entire trench is filled with concrete. It will take two to three days for it to dry completely. After this, the formwork can be removed.

Thirdly, they begin to carry out finishing works And complete assembly fences. Most often used for foundation cladding facing tiles. Of course, we haven't listed everything possible options, but those named are the most frequently used.

Types of fencing

We offer our clients several types of fencing. Firstly, welded. This is the simplest type of fence, made of metal. It has a simple pattern and a low price. Secondly, forged. More complex in execution and the price will be higher accordingly. Distinctive feature Such a fence is artistic.

The plinth made of granite is considered the most durable and reliable. It can be installed either around the perimeter of the burial or completely covering it. The functionality here is not limited to the fencing: it is also responsible for the stability of the entire structure and prevents the monument from tilting. Forged fences look attractive in combination with a plinth.

Installation in a cemetery

You can install a fence in a cemetery yourself, but without certain skills it is better not to take on such work. Installation is carried out based on the characteristics of the selected type. Thus, a metal fence can be installed both in the ground and in a concrete base.

The fence at the cemetery is being installed in the ground in the following way: holes are made in the ground into which the solution is poured. Before it hardens, you need to install the fence legs into the holes. Installation into a concrete base begins with the installation of wooden formwork around the perimeter. They are filled with cement-sand mortar, into which the fence is installed.

The granite plinth is also installed on a concrete pad. Granite is very durable material, such a fence will last for many years and will not lose its appearance. Here we recommend using the services of our company, since installing a fence on a grave in this case is associated with a number of difficulties.

Installing fences in cemeteries is a Russian specificity. In most European countries and the USA, such a structure is a relic of the past; it is installed only to indicate some merits of the deceased. In Europe there is not enough space, and a fence as a boundary mark takes up enough land from the site that is allocated for burial.

In Russia, in order to figure out how to install a fence in a cemetery, you should obtain permission in advance. Work on installing the fences takes place from the end of May until November. Having provided all of the above documents to the cemetery administration, you can focus on the details of the appearance of the fence, compare prices in workshops and make a choice.

When a monument and a granite plinth are installed on the grave, there is a need to give the burial place completeness. For this purpose, a fence is installed around the perimeter of the site. Financial conditions do not always allow adding a stone fence to a stone monument. The production of metal fences has begun. It is important to understand how to weld a fence for a grave, so as not to subsequently observe deformations in its landscaped appearance.

A metal fence is called welded. The method of its manufacture is simple: pipes are welded into block blanks, which have a simple geometric pattern and are quite cheap. If, when deciding how to make a fence, it is possible to support the style of the burial site with an expressive design, then order a forged fence.

In its manufacture it is used manual labor and there is an opportunity for original artistic design, the quality level becomes higher. A beautiful fence will help prevent feelings of guilt and despair when visiting a cemetery. Let this be a meeting with departed relatives, and the door in the fence will be perceived as an opportunity to come to visit them.

To preserve the landscaped appearance of the site for a long time, you need to figure out how to paint the fence in the cemetery, so that the painting lasts a long time. This procedure can be entrusted to special services: grave care services are available in many cemeteries. Painting the fence yourself will take several days of work. Filming old paint and rust, use anti-corrosion materials, apply two layers of paint.

Perhaps there will not be these days for such work. It's OK. Eternity, oddly enough, does not wait for us behind the fence of cemeteries; it only invites us not to be forgotten in the surrounding whirlwind of life and constantly reminds us of itself with a flow of information, which in the end can always be reduced to two words - remember death.
