Secrets of the European style when decorating private houses have long been the property of the republic. Our compatriots liked the graceful pergolas and robust gabions. Now it is time to master the pergolas, the significance of which is difficult to not appreciate when creating a landscape design. A long container made of simple metal mesh stuffed with stones, and how many possibilities!

Pergolas, gabions and pergolas
Appearance in landscape design pergola and gabions clearly marked the prospect of their application and use. Most of the constructions of pergolas have a narrow and sufficiently mobile structure, from which it is possible to create attractive decorative fences on the backyard.
Gabions, on the other hand, have a massive and solid construction, which is used to construct protective massifs. A successful solution, embodying all the advantages of light pergolas and solid gabions, steel structures peregone. Do not confuse the consonant with the words "pergola" and "pergola". What are the pergones?
Pergons are mobile barriers of insignificant width, made of galvanized steel wire. Lattice tanks filled with various materials, pergons carry an aesthetic component and practical function for decorative garden fences.
Due to the innovative design, the pergons have the following advantages:
• the ability to design vertical, inclined or unequal in height facing surfaces
• use for internal or external walls and facades
• the ability to successfully and effectively combine the filler with inserts and light devices.
Naturally, all the advantages and advantages of the Pergon are in their original and light design.
Constructions of fences pergone
Structurally, the fence for the fence consists of a metal container, pillars - racks, a protective top grate, coupling links and a fastening element.
You can install pergons on existing hard surfaces (blind area, asphalt covering, concrete base).
To fix the barrier use racks with a flange for fastening with dowels or special anchor fasteners.
Helpful Tips
To properly choose a grid for pergons, you need to correctly calculate the width, height and size of the cell. If you want to set pergons with a width of 13-15 cm, a height of 60 to 120 cm for a filler made of stone with a size of 30 to 70 mm, then the cell size should be 2.5 × 20 cm and the wire thickness 6 mm. Welded mesh for stones, for example, with a cell of 5x20 cm is made of galvanized rod with a diameter of 6 and 8 mm.
Since the zinc coating of the nets is made by the manufacturer using the hot-dip galvanizing method, the quality of the product is subject to the requirements in accordance with DIN-EN-ISO 1461. The mesh coating has a guaranteed service life of 55 years (corrosion category C3). The loss of the thickness of the zinc coating is 1 μm (DIN-EN-ISO 12944).
Thus, properly selected grid parameters will help avoid the appearance of gaps in the overall filler monolith.
But special interest in the owners of private houses is caused by mini-pergola fences.
Decorative fences - minipergons
Minipergons are one of the many options for zoning the site. We must give credit, a good option. There is an opportunity to use and combine sections with different fillers.
The versatility of the mini-pergolas allows the configuration of the sections to vary, varying their height and widening or narrowing the barrier or lining area to the required dimensions.
The mini-pergons are characterized by the following features:
• The height of the fence can reach from 60 to 200 cm with an insignificant width of up to 15 cm.
• the ability to connect sections at any angle and make changes to the configuration of the barrier
• conditions for multiple assembly or disassembly of the structure
• possibility of landscaping of the fence wall with original plants
• no need to erect a strip foundation.
It is noteworthy that pergone and minipergon lacks a binder between the filler, so there is no binding to individual elements of the structure and temperature drops are not terrible for them.
Filler for pergone
The filler of the fence can be: large gravel and pebbles, other natural minerals or sawed wood, broken brick and tiles. The filler can be selected by color and fill them niches, make contrast inserts or leave voids.
How to collect and install pergons with your own hands
The European technology of assembly and installation of the pergon does not require special knowledge and skills. Installation, installation and filling of the piercing is carried out quickly and without the formation of construction debris. It will be necessary to mark out the platform, install the pillars-racks, fasten them, fill the tank and close the top grate with tightening links.
installation of pergon to the ground
Set the pergola fences can be on the ground and a solid foundation. Installation of fences on the ground is carried out using concreting racks equipped with outlets for installation about 60 cm in length. The installation in the ground depends on the capabilities and characteristics of the soil on the site. The marking of the section for the racks is carried out along the lattice length plus 3 cm.
It is necessary to control the vertical position of the mounting racks. Lattices are installed using special fixatives. If the bearing capacity of the ground in the area is sufficient, then the fence is installed without the construction of a belt or pile foundation. In this case, only the pillars are concrete.
installation of a solid base
When installing the pergon to a solid base, use a flange connection or an anchor. An anchor for the ground is wrapped in the traditional way. For fixing the pier, screws with a hexagon head (SW13) and nuts with a flange are included in the delivery set. Mounting is made using a 13 mm socket wrench.
mesh installation
Grid for pergon is supplied by the manufacturer in separate sections in the folded state.
To shape and install the grid, it is necessary to use a special device with which the mesh is given a three-dimensional rectangular shape and then the resulting mesh capacity is filled.
fastening the mesh of the pier to the walls and pillars
The fixing of the edge of the plate with the support column of the assembled grid is carried out using the U-shaped profiles and screeds.
To the wall fastening is made with the help of a bracket. The longitudinal holes on the bracket allow you to vary the distance to the wall.
installation of the upper grate (cover)
After installing the grid and filling it completely, a grid grid is installed on top. The lid is a grate that is laid down from above and from the top of the received container. The grill is fixed with special clamps-ties, which are included in the delivery.
