During the preparatory phase before installing a new fence, you need to know exactly what tool you have. The necessary tool will be:

• electric drill or screwdriver;
• welding machine;
• Bulgarian;
• perforator.

Also requires the presence of:

• metal pillars or supports;
• screws and other hardware;
• corners for the frame;
• cement-sand mixture.

The first and main stage is the marking of the site under the supports. The pillars should be strictly vertical - both the quality of work and the aesthetic appearance of the whole fence will depend on it.

Under each support it is necessary to dig a hole with a depth of 45 - 60 cm. It is best to use bricks so that the pole is clamped and almost does not move. Verticality must be constantly checked by level.. After all the preparatory stages, you can pour the concrete mix into the pit. It is best to maintain the pillar for some time until the slightest drying of the concrete. After that, the verticality is checked again. And such an operation must be carried out with each pillar.

After all the pillars are installed, the finished sections can be fixed to the supports.
