Paths for the garden are an important part of the decoration. They represent an indispensable artistic and aesthetic element, thanks to which a picture is created or space is divided favorably into zones. As a material for paving, you can choose a variety of options, but it is important to consider the general design of the territory. Paths for a summer residence in this case can become part of the decor, while not standing out from the big picture.
As a material, you can use wood, asphalt, road brick, natural or artificial stone, cobblestones, ceramic tiles, plastic or rubber elements. Currently, the most popular option is wood tracks. This material is characterized by its fragility and low practicality, but it has very attractive decorative characteristics. For many, the elegant design of tracks is the most important criterion for choosing. Wooden paths for a summer residence look very original, emphasizing any design decision. You can consider how to make such an element.
Many may be surprised that paths for giving from a material such as saw cuts of a tree trunk can become a real decoration of the site. To make this type of construction, you will need sand, a powerful saw, a
sawn wood, plastic film and drying oil. Now you can start sawing the trunk and branches into circles with a thickness of ten to fifteen centimeters. The diameter of the wooden segments should be different. It is worth saying that plastic paths for summer cottages are laid much easier and faster.
The next step is to heat the drying oil to a boil, and then apply to circles. They must be fully processed, after which they must be allowed to dry. While the circles are drying, you can start preparing the track. It is necessary to clearly plan its width and location, remove 30-45 centimeters of soil, lay out a film, and then fill it with sand. After tamping, you can begin to lay out circles of wood. They should be laid tightly enough to each other, and for this, segments with a smaller diameter are needed.
When everything is laid, it is necessary to fill the circles with sand, and then generously pour water, which will fill all the voids. After these fairly simple procedures, you will get wonderful paths for giving.
You can use the beam. You can take material with asymmetric dimensions, which will allow you to get a beautiful result. However, if you set the goal of obtaining a durable and convenient solution, then you need to take a thick and wide beam. At work, gravel, granite screenings, pine bark, coarse sand and other materials will be required. If you decide to use timber and gravel, then sand, coating waterproofing, tape measure, a hacksaw, a planer, a shovel and other tools will still be required. First, everything is done similarly to the previous option. Prepared timber is laid out on the base. The gaps around are covered with gravel and rammed.
If both options are not to your liking, then you can make rubber tracks for giving, especially for this, ready-made sets of materials are sold.
