What to choose a fence for a monument

The tradition of installing fences in the cemetery is firmly rooted in our culture. Fences for a long time do not carry a protective or security function, loved ones of the deceased install them to pay the last tribute and memory, decorate the burial place, create a secluded corner. Grave decoration can be simple, designed in a strict minimalist style or non-standard, with the use of rare stones and other exclusive decor options.



Types of fences
There are several most common variants of fences for graves, differing in design and materials used. Depending on the chosen style and budget, you can choose from the following options:

• Stone – marble or granite;
• Metal – welded, forged, made of stainless steel;
• Combined - combining metal and stone elements in the construction.

The most budget option is a welded fence made of metal profile. It looks modest, but the material allows you to create geometric patterns that give the design an expressive look.
The product of stainless steel consists of pipes and decorative elements, goes well with any monuments. This fence is durable, does not lose its aesthetic appearance for decades.
Premium-class fences include forged products. Professional craftsmen create works of art with complex patterns and unusual configuration.
To create a completely exclusive design of the grave, you should choose a granite fence. The color palette of this stone is extremely rich, granite is delivered from Russian, Finnish, Brazilian and Indian deposits, each variety is characterized by its own pattern and shade.
By combining different materials, you can create both inexpensive options and elite-level samples. For example, granite columns in combination with a stainless steel pipe are quite a budget option, and stone elements of a complex shape, supplemented by elegant forged inserts, are ordered to give the memorial a unique appearance.
Criteria and nuances of the choice of fence
First of all, you should pay attention to the method of installation. Granite and forged structures require a reliable foundation. If it is not possible to create a solid base, you should opt for a light metal fence.
The complexity of product care should also be taken into account.

• The metal structure should be painted in a timely manner and covered with anticorrosive compositions;
• Granite does not need care, it is enough to periodically wash away the dirt;
• Marble parts of the composition require regular deep cleaning, it is not always possible to do this without professional help.
