Influence of construction on wetting of wooden fences
In our investigation, we studied the influence of a construction solution on laboratory water absorption and drying of fence parts after watering. Drying speed has a significant impact on durability of wooden construction. Using an experimental method, six different constructions of vertical planks were jointed to a horizontal bearing and wetted artificially. These models were performed to determine the influence of the construction execution on water uptake and drying speed. Inclination of upper surface, profile of grooves in the vertical plank and mode of setting enable lesser water absorption and easier drying of the construction. Minor watering and faster drying reduce swelling and cracking of wooden elements as well as protect them from wood decay organisms. Considering the proposed constructions the maintenance intervals of surface coats would desrease.
