This material, relatively recently appeared on the Russian market, is a glued mixture of wood and monomers. The latter are polymerized during the production process and a product with high performance characteristics is obtained., when compared with the usual natural boards. Wood-polymer composite (or DPK) make flooring, windowsills, window and door profiles, it is used in the automotive industry. In suburban areas, most often they construct from this material fences. How to do it yourself?
Installation of bearing racks
First determine the distance between the posts (0,5-3 m). It will depend on the type of fence, which can be monolithic or decorative. For racks, it is best to use steel pipes with a diameter 8-9 cm. It is preliminarily recommended to treat them with an anti-corrosion compound.. Installation of pillars is carried out with concreting. When the solution is dry, fix the WPC support profile on the supporting racks.
Installation of handrails and fence curtain
The first ones are attached to the corners with special bolts., which are inserted into pre-prepared holes. Sometimes self-tapping screws are used. (when, when the structure will not be subjected to significant loads). If railings are not mounted, and the horizontal bars, then the installation process must be controlled using the building level. The last stage is the installation of spans from WPC boards. They are attached to horizontal profiles. In conclusion, it is worth noting, that a wood-polymer composite fence is not intended to perform protective functions. It is an element of the landscape and a tool for delineating suburban areas.
