First, the installation points of the fence railing
The installation of fence railings needs to go through multiple steps, each of which has its own specific points and precautions.
Preparation before installation is crucial. The first is survey planning, which involves accurately measuring the length and height of the fence to ensure that the size of the railing matches the fence. For example, according to the actual case, in the installation of the fence railing in a certain community, the construction personnel made the perfect combination of the railing and the fence through accurate measurement, ensuring the overall coordination and stability. According to the site conditions and design requirements, the layout and spacing of the planning railing are also very important, generally speaking, the spacing should be set reasonably to ensure the overall beauty and do not affect the use of functions.
In terms of material selection and inspection, railing materials with reliable quality and in line with standards should be selected, such as steel, aluminum alloy, wrought iron, etc. Each of these materials has its own characteristics, the steel is strong and durable, the aluminum alloy does not rust, and the wrought iron is highly malleable. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the strength, corrosion resistance and durability of the material. When inspecting the purchased materials, it is necessary to carefully check whether the specifications, size, surface quality, etc. meet the requirements, and if there are unqualified materials, they should be returned in time. According to statistics, about 10% of non-conforming materials will affect the overall quality and longevity of railings.
In the foundation construction link, the foundation excavation should be carried out according to the design requirements to ensure that the depth and width of the foundation meet the installation requirements of the railing. During the excavation process, attention should be paid to avoid disturbance to the surrounding soil and prevent collapse. The bottom of the foundation is leveled and tamped to ensure the stability of the foundation. When pouring the foundation, select appropriate concrete materials to ensure that the strength and mix ratio of the concrete meet the requirements. In the pouring process, it is necessary to pay attention to vibrating and compacting to avoid quality problems such as honeycomb and hemp surface. After the foundation pouring is completed, the maintenance should be carried out in time to keep the concrete surface moist and prevent cracks.
In the railing installation stage, the installation position of the column should be accurate, and the spacing should meet the design requirements. Measure using a spirit level and plumb line, making sure the column is perpendicular to the ground. After the column is installed, it can be fixed by expansion bolts, chemical anchors, etc., to ensure firmness and reliability. The crossbar is connected to the column to play the role of reinforcement and decoration, and its installation height should be consistent and the levelness should meet the requirements. Use a level to measure and make sure the crossbar is mounted flat. The connection between the crossbar and the column can be welded, bolted, etc., to ensure the strength and stability of the connection part. The installation of railing accessories should meet the design requirements, the installation position should be accurate, fixed firmly, and the surface treatment of the accessories should be consistent with the main body of the railing to ensure the overall aesthetics.
In terms of surface treatment, materials that are prone to rust such as wrought iron railings should be derusted before installation. Sandblasting, pickling and other methods can be used to remove rust and impurities on the surface of the railing. After the rust is removed, the anti-rust treatment can be carried out in time, and the anti-rust paint can be painted or hot-dip galvanized to improve the corrosion resistance of the railing. Spray according to the design requirements, choose the appropriate paint color and type, and improve the aesthetics and durability of the railing. Clean and sand the surface of the railing before spraying to ensure the adhesion of the paint. Pay attention to uniform spraying during the spraying process to avoid sagging, missing spraying and other phenomena.
Second, the material selection of the fence railing
1) A variety of material types
There are various materials for fence railings, and different materials have their own unique characteristics and applicable scenarios.
Zinc steel material: Zinc steel fence railings are durable and load-bearing. It is treated by a special process, which has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, moisture resistance, weather resistance, high temperature resistance, etc., and has a long service life. At the same time, the procurement cost of zinc steel railings is low, second only to iron fences, and it is suitable for large-scale purchases. It has a wide range of applications and is suitable for residential areas, villas, hospitals, schools, parks, greening and other places. Moreover, there are various styles, which can be sprayed with various color styles to meet the needs of different environments. Installation is also very easy, and the patented design of the assembly type is quick and easy.
Aluminum alloy material: Aluminum alloy fence railings will not rust and have strong corrosion resistance. It has a beautiful appearance, can be customized according to customer needs, color, shape, etc. can be freely selected, suitable for all kinds of architectural decoration. The aluminum alloy railing has high strength and can play a good role in protecting against damage caused by external impact. It is easy to install, only needs to be assembled according to the design drawings, and it is light in weight and does not require large machinery for installation.
Wrought iron material: the railing of the wrought iron fence is strong, highly malleable, firmly connected and has good structure. It can be made into a variety of flower patterns, flexible and diverse shapes, fine workmanship, elegant and beautiful. However, if the anti-corrosion and anti-rust process is not done well, it is easy to rust, and it needs to be maintained every year, and due to the use of all-welded connection, there are more solder joints, it is easier to rust, the coating adsorption effect is general, and the paint layer is easy to fade and fall off.
Cast iron material: cast iron fence railing is easy to weld, beautiful and practical, cast iron is hard, strong and wear-resistant, and has good castability. Using cast iron as the material, it can be used to make a variety of patterns, but the disadvantage is that it is brittle and not smooth enough, and it needs to be painted every 2-3 years. Pay attention to the different ingredients contained in the order.
(2) Cost-effective choice
