Typical La Marina issues (and our solutions)
1) Strong wind
Problem: exposure can knock down poorly installed fences. Solution:
- Deep foundations (50–60 cm min)
- Reinforced pillars every 2.5 m (not 3)
- Tie beam on walls
- Lattices with gaps (reduce wind resistance)
2) Sandy or loose soil
Solution:
- Larger footings (min 40×40 cm)
- Stronger concrete mix
- Extra curing before loading
3) Salt and corrosion
Solution:
- Always galvanized or lacquered metals
- Anti-corrosion paints
- Maintenance reviews
- Alternative: PVC/composite (no corrosion)
4) Terrain slopes
Solution:
- Stepped fence (more economical)
- Partial levelling with small retaining wall (more aesthetic)
- Custom design adapted to terrain
