In order for the territory on your site to acquire a beautiful and finished look, you should not only break a lot of flower beds and lawns, but also make the finishing touch - fences for flower beds. With your own hands, you can install several types of decorative fences, any of which will decorate your site. In addition, they solve several more problems:
• the site looks neat and in the same style;
• the fence does not allow plants to "creep" beyond the territory of the flower bed;
• the fence will tell guests where to not step;
• with the help of decorative fences, the entire area is easier to divide into functional zones, and save from pets.
Ivnyak for decorating a flower bed with your own hands from improvised materials
You can get
willow rods on the shore of almost any natural reservoir. It is best to harvest them in early spring, since at this time the bark is removed better and your fence will acquire a pleasant light shade. Pick up the rods as much as possible and stock up with the required number of pegs with a diameter of 3 cm. The willow should be cleaned of bark and cut to one length. Set pegs around the perimeter of the flowerbed. They should be at the same distance. The closer they are to each other, the more reliable your wattle will turn out. Now the pegs need to be braided with willow rods. This is done according to the basket weaving method - the rods are passed either behind the stakes or in front of them. Having made 4 rows, the entire structure should be sealed. Just tap on the top of the wattle with a hammer, this will allow it not to loose after drying. Then continue to weave the fence to the required height. Such a fence for a round flowerbed is very effective. With your own hands from improvised materials, attach the handle to the wattle fence. You will get a large basket that will be filled with planted flowers all season. Petunias and asters look very beautiful there, although any plants can be planted, if only they would bloom for a long period.
We use logs to decorate the flowerbed with our own hands from improvised materials
At first, I would like to note that a tree is the most preferable option for a flowerbed fence. In winter, wood freezes less than the same plastic or stone, which means that the roots of the plants will be additionally protected from freezing. In addition, the tree gradually decomposes, thereby providing the soil with nutrients.
Small churbachki most accessible from improvised materials. With your own hands you only need to make them the same length, their diameter can be different. Please note that approximately 20 cm will be underground. It is advisable to clear the logs from the bark and treat with a solution for wood. Around the flowerbed, dig a small ditch, and tightly install chumps in it. Sprinkle the bottom with soil and carefully tamp it. It turns out the original fence, which can last up to 50 years. By the way, in the same way, you can use glass or plastic bottles instead of chumps.
Natural stone for decorating a flower bed with your own hands from improvised materials
If you want to give a nobility to your site, then it is better to use natural stone to fence flower beds. It all depends on your preferences, the stone can be large or small, round or uneven. If you will work with a large stone, then at the end of the bed, prepare a concrete pillow and press stones into it. For small stones, a special glue should be added to the concrete solution. If you need a high fence, it is better to take flat stones. Of these, you can lay out the fence using the brickwork method. I must say that the brick itself is also great for fencing flower beds, especially if you are designing a site in a country style.
