Palisade - what is this?

Fence paling can be rightly attributed to one of the most reliable fences. If you compare it with a conventional wooden fence or fence, they are unlikely to compete with it for reliability.

What is palisade

Since the earliest days, people have begun to use these fences, primarily because of their high protective functions. The palisade is a wooden fence, made of logs with a diameter of 10 cm. Usually, the upper edges are worn and sharpened, which increases the protective functions of the fence. Any tree species can be used in its construction.

The process of assembling and installing such a fence usually does not take much time. By and large, the construction of the palisade is not particularly different from the assembly of any wooden fence. The main difference is the weight of the logs. That is, large physical costs are required.

Also, when installing the stockade, it is necessary to take into account the fact that it is desirable to concrete the columns due to the weight of the fence. However, this will benefit any fence.

Advantages and disadvantages of palisade

The palisade is a fence that has a lot of advantages. By its reliability and protective functions, it can be placed in a row with brick and concrete fences. And the pointed tops and massiveness of the logs create an additional psychological barrier. Since palisade is to some extent a symbol of the inaccessibility of ancient fortresses, which has been formed in people for a long time.

In addition, the stockade is very durable and strong. If the wood is treated correctly, such a fence can last for many years.

If we talk about the shortcomings, it is worth noting a rather coarse appearance. And also all the disadvantages inherent in fences made of wood.

Types of fence

The stockade is divided into two types:

• Normal.
• Falscale fences.

With the usual everything is clear: the thick logs are taken, sharpened, processed and mounted in the fence section.

Falsely-palisade allows you to save time and money, while getting the appearance is the same as the usual. When it is manufactured on an ordinary wooden fence, a slab with sharp edges is packed. Thus, on the front side, the appearance is similar to that of a stockade.

The only drawback of this approach will be in the loss of protective fencing functions.

Despite the small prevalence and popularity of this type of fences, it can be said that the palisade is a very functional and durable fence. Moreover, with a creative approach, it can become a worthy decoration of any site.
