Nowadays, there are many modifications of facing bricks, as well as their colors, which in turn provides different options for constructing fences. In addition, fences made from facing bricks will provide reliable protection and will also last for many years.
So, construction This fence begins with pouring the foundation. The depth of the foundation should be from 50 to 80 cm. It is important that the foundation is poured as evenly as possible, so that it is easier to lay the first row of bricks level. To do this, it is necessary to install the formwork as level as possible. At the distance at which it is planned to erect columns, it is necessary to concrete the support pillars. A metal pipe with a diameter of 10 mm is suitable for this. These pillars must also be level.
After the foundation is poured and has settled for a couple of days, you can begin laying bricks. In the example shown in the illustration, two colors are combined - red and yellow. First, the base of the fence is laid along the edges of the foundation from red whole brick with a torn spoon. The space between these bricks must also be filled with concrete.
Next, you need to start building the fence columns. To do this, it is necessary to calculate approximately equal distance between the columns. In order for the columns to be at the same level, and each row to have the same height, it is necessary to use a fishing line, which is stretched on each new row, from the two outermost columns. Embeds must be welded to the support column, which was fixed in the foundation inside the column, every 6 rows of columns. There are a total of 23 rows in the columns. Therefore, in each column it will be possible to display three mortgages on each side. In addition, to strengthen the columns, it is recommended to concrete them, filling the void inside with mortar.

In this case, two types of columns are used. The first type of columns is used in fence spans and consists of 4 red bricks with a semicircle. In addition to them, three more columns are used, between which the gate and wicket will be attached. These columns consist of 4 semicircular red bricks and 2 yellow bricks. In these three columns, two mortgages are welded vertically to the column. The distance between them depends on the distance of the hinges on the gate and the wicket, which will subsequently be attached to these mortgages. As a rule, gates and wickets are made to order, and you can know the distance between the hinges in advance.

Only after all the columns have been erected can you begin to arrange the fence openings. The second row of the order also consists of two red whole bricks, which are placed close to each other, creating a step on both sides. From the next row, the ordering of a whole yellow brick begins, which is the main color of the fence. Laying is carried out for jointing using glazing beads.

Every 6 rows of yellow bricks it is necessary to fasten the columns to the order.To do this, it is necessary to weld wire rod with a thickness not exceeding the thickness of the seam used for the bead to the embedded parts that were welded to the columns. This wire is laid in the seam between the bricks.

The last row of the fence is laid with red brick to complete the design. Thus, the fence openings consist of 19 rows of yellow bricks and 3 rows of red (2 at the bottom and 1 at the top). Since all the bricks used in the manufacture of this fence have a torn spoon, and therefore it is impossible to check the vertical evenness of the wall with a building level, you can use a plumb line for this.
The completion of the work is the installation of caps on the columns, as well as the installation of a parapet along the fence.

All work is carried out with a regular solution: 1 share of cement and 3 shares of sand. When concreting columns, the same proportions of cement and sand are used, but with the addition of two shares of crushed stone.
To ensure that the brick does not emit salt and always looks like new, it can be treated with a special acid and varnished, which will allow it to always have a contrasting color.
