Design options may be different. The main thing is to lay a solid, solid strip foundation on which a brick fence with corrugated board will serve for many years without deformation.
The service life of the combined fence is determined by the quality of the foundation
4 main types of structures:
- The columns inside are filled with reinforcement, filled with concrete mixture. They are laid out in 1.5-2 bricks from the front and back and in 1 from the sides. For a longer service life and aesthetic appearance, decorative metal, concrete caps or lighting elements are installed on the surface of the posts.
- The lower part of the fence is made of brickwork or monolithic concrete; this option looks much more beautiful than installing a profiled panel to the entire height of the fence.
- Installation of a profiled sheet, when it completely covers the supports, does not look very good, it is much more aesthetically pleasing when mounted on poles. A prerequisite is that its length should not exceed 3 meters.
- The metal profile can be installed in two ways, in a vertical and horizontal position. You should choose a metal thickness of 0.5 mm.
It is best to use profiled panels with a double-sided polymer coating. It is a good anti-corrosion protection, resistant to mechanical damage. Uncoated sheets are only suitable for temporary fences.
Decorating and styling options
Various colors, configuration of the metal profile (different depths and wavelengths), a large assortment of paints and varnishes allows you to realize any of the most daring ideas.
Modern technologies make it possible to decorate the profiled sheet with a variety of decorative coatings, for example, imitation of natural stone
Painting under a tree
Fences for wood made of corrugated board with brick posts completely imitate the structure of different types of wood, look expensive and natural. Only up close can you see the difference, from a long distance it cannot be distinguished from a wooden one. The most popular shades are: wenge, golden and dark oak, pine, white wood (acacia). They can be matte or glossy.
Imitation wood makes the fence more beautiful, but it costs a little more.
When self-coloring the profiled sheet, it is better to use the powder method, this method makes it possible to achieve different relief and gloss intensity. There is no solvent in the applied powder, it consists of micro-particles of rubber and pigment. The best European paint manufacturers: France, Italy, Germany.
An inexpensive way to paint profile panels yourself is by airless spraying of paints and varnishes. The method is cheap due to the absence of paint fog (no waste) and high productivity.
Cladding
Decorating pillars is an opportunity to show imagination, taste and skill of a decorator. You can use ordinary white brick, which goes well with the dark shades of the metal profile, or use red, which is affordable and cheap in price. A good master will lay out the masonry in a checkerboard pattern, in the form of a spiral of two colors. Supports made of figured and embossed bricks look unusually beautiful.

Facing with decorative plaster is a cheap method, which consists in adding elements that form the structure to the solution. Such types are known:
- Bark beetle and rain - differ only in the method of application, the surface takes on the appearance of tree bark a sharpened beetle of the same name, is resistant to high and low temperatures and ultraviolet rays.
- A fur coat is a well-known economy option that will last for many years.
- Granules - rough structure tolerates temperature extremes, atmospheric precipitation, water-repellent with excellent adhesion.
- Marble chips are an ideal coating that has all the necessary qualities for a long service life and a beautiful appearance.
While some simple solutions can be made by yourself, then marble chips are best purchased from reputable manufacturers. Only in this case is high resistance to weathering and a long service life guaranteed.
Natural stone is a solid finish, it will add massiveness and reliability. There are unedged, sawn, hewn, each of them looks impressive.

When decorating columns with clinker tiles, the fence will look much more elegant, it will acquire a noble, refined look. This material does not fade, repels water, frost resistance. One drawback is the rather high cost.
Artificial stone is much lighter and more budgetary than natural stone, it has a wide range of colors. Having covered not only the supports for the profiled sheet with light decorative material, but also the house itself, having accordingly decorated the landscape, you will get an extraordinary, fabulous sight.

Drawing a picture

A talented artist or designer is able to create an incredible masterpiece that will make the fence stand out from the gray mass.
How to paint the fence on your own so that it sparkles with all the colors, pleases the eyes of households, passers-by? There are four ways in total:
- Airbrushing - for people who know the art of painting from a spray can, the process will be fun and will not take much time. Non-professionals are better off not taking up this occupation. Such a fence turns out to be original, super-fashionable, voluminous, it is difficult not to pay attention to it.
- Stencil - everything is simpler here. A template is made on its own or purchased in a store. It is fixed on the corrugated surface with tape, then paint is applied with a roller, brush, sponge. The picture looks harmonious if the background of the metal profile is combined with the pattern.
- A sketch is created before application, all details are drawn, determined with a color scheme. Geometric shapes, thematic paintings, landscapes can be depicted in this way.
- Tagging is a new direction in art, drawing is done with a special tool, a vandalizer. In fact, this is a regular marker with a wide nib (up to 10 cm).
Alkyd, water-repellent acrylic paints, oil enamels, spray cans, varnishes are used. They paint each section with different pictures or make up a general composition for the entire fence.
