The vegetable garden has been dug up, the seedlings are already ready for planting, but in addition to vegetables and useful crops, I would like to draw attention to the beauty of the garden, namely the fence of the flower beds. Flowers growing one by one or in pairs, descending in garlands from the balcony boxes, or arranged in a single composition under the windows of your beloved home, will give joy after a hard day and allow you to take a break from work. But how can this beauty be preserved? How to protect flowers from the ubiquitous lawn-mower line, from children who are always running somewhere, from dogs who try to lie down on them? Let's consider several examples of making a fence using available materials and a minimum number of tools.

Natural stone border

The stone is not the enemy of plants. Many people know that sculptures made of durable granite, centuries later, have brought to this day the beautiful faces of ancient women and the muscular torsos of men. Frozen in stone, they are still striking in their beauty.

And why not use this durable material to decorate adorable petunias, lupines, cosmes, marigolds. Granite and marble, of course, are not the cheapest option, but you can resort to the help of improvised representatives of the stone world, for example, cobblestones, which can be found almost everywhere. Having made a considerable supply, you can impose a large enough one, thereby protecting it from lawn mowers and other cutting tools.

Variants of forms of a natural stone fence depend only on the author's imagination and the amount of source material. The advantage of this fence is durability, and the disadvantage can be considered a small height and, over time, natural subsidence deep into the soil.

A fence for a flower garden from wooden pegs

I'm tired of the old skirting board, why throw it away? Miniature, up to 20 centimeters, wooden fences are very unusual and look pleasant, protecting medium-sized plants. The construction of such a fence will take several hours and a couple of meters of the old skirting board.

  1. First of all, you need to decide on the height, mark it on the base, and saw off the pegs, of which the fence will consist.
  2. For the convenience of inserting such blanks into the ground, it is advisable to make an acute angle from one edge, and leave the top straight.
  3. The pegs are either dug in or driven into the ground by 5-10 cm, for greater strength. Thus, the workpiece is a peg 30-35 cm long.

The advantage of such a fence is its original shape. The disadvantages include the difficulty of setting a straight line, but using a level, you can achieve greater accuracy.

Glass bottle fencing - simple and affordable

Glass is not a new material, and even less expensive. After all, for sure in your house there is sometimes a bottle of beer, champagne, Coca-Cola or lemonade near the trash can. They will serve as an excellent basis for a decorative fence. All you need to do is collect required amount glass bottles. For a medium-sized flower bed, you will need about 20-30 pcs. During the winter, it will not be difficult to collect such an amount.

The construction technology is extremely simple, having pulled out a small hole, you need to stick the glass bottle with the neck down and dig it in for greater strength. The usual building level will help to maintain a straight horizontal line.

Glass bottle fences are durable, and look great next to low plants.

Considering possible ways landscaping a flower bed, each owner is looking for the most simple and affordable option... It is easier than creating a fence with stone chips, wood, or glass bottles. Let's look at a few more design options for floral splendor:

Wooden rods and tree branches as a decorative fence

Twigs and branches - for a fire or for work? Constructing an original obstruction from the branches of an old tree that has fallen under an ax - there is nothing easier! Naturally, branches are taken as a basis, but their selection is very important.

To decorate the flower bed, it is advisable to use straight or slightly curved rods. Branches with knots or shoots are not suitable for work, since with the growth of green spaces, the stems will hang and cling to them. Straight branches should preferably be barked and dried. Soaking them with antifungal agents is also ideal, but not necessary.

The construction of such a fence is done as follows:

  1. Straight base stakes are driven into the ground at a distance of 10-15 cm, twigs or branches are laid out between them;
  2. Fastening, for greater stability, is carried out with a twine or fishing line. The height of the structure depends on the number of rows thus laid.

The advantages of the design are simplicity of execution and natural appearance. The disadvantages include a small durability, in general, from 2 to 3 years, and the possibility of warping under the influence of weather conditions.

Another option for wicker fences is a vine hedge. It looks very aesthetically pleasing. The method is similar to the construction of branches and twigs, only due to the length of the main material in the process of laying out the rows, the main peg-supports are intertwined.

The advantages of this version of the improvement of the flower bed are its excellent combination with the landscape and aesthetically simple appeal. The downside is that a short service life and possible corrosion of the material. To correct these shortcomings, wood processing tools will help.

Macrame in garden design

The macrame technique, which is based on a special weaving of threads, can be beautiful and unusual option flower beds design. Naturally, strong twine will serve as the main material. You can take any drawing. Detailed diagrams can be found on the Internet or in craft magazines.

The original baubles will be fastened with wooden pegs, which can also be braided to match the main motive. The advantage of this work is its originality. The disadvantages include a fairly long operating time and a short service life.


Fence from dishes (photo)

Dishes beat happily. There are three plates left from your favorite set, which are not only ashamed to put on the table, but also insulting to tears. The saucer is cracked or split in half, it doesn't matter, we collect the fragments for the fence, they will serve as an excellent basis for the creative design of the flower bed.

Simply stuck in the ground or embedded in a cement mortar, once works of ceramic art, today will become an original decoration flowering plants... The simplicity, durability and uniqueness of such a fence is an undoubted plus, the minuses include only some danger for children, because it can split and injure.

DVDs playable by the sun

Many video and audio lovers often have a large number of unnecessary discs in their home, which have already played their contents millions of times and have lost their freshness and quality. By combining them with a paper clip, wire or fishing line into a single canvas and fixing them on peg bases, you can give the flower bed an unusual, bright and shiny, in all respects, look.

The disadvantage of such an undertaking is only a short service life of this fence. Otherwise, she can become original decision in landscape design any site.

Plastic bottles - flight for imagination

The rest after the feasts can also come in handy for a flower bed decorator. Inserted like glass bottles, carefully painted in different colors, illuminate the green space with bright notes.

However, it is worth remembering that plastic is subject to deformation when the temperature changes, therefore, before directly inserting the bottles into the ground, it is worth carefully filling them with sand. Possible deformation, when influenced by weather conditions, is a minus of these fences.

Decorative fences enclosing your flower garden

Items such as old fence, remnants of roofing tiles or wall plastic, unused metal tape in a roll, forged Products and other improvised material can become an interesting basis for creating a flower fence.

Their presence, in various configurations, will add a touch of chaos and modern colors to the green ornament of plants, forcing the owners and guests of the summer cottage to look at the classic forms from a different side.

By choosing materials that you already have at home, you can save money. Alternatively, you can purchase any materials in the store, and do the design and installation yourself.

A fence for a flower bed made of plastic: justified popularity

Plastic is relatively recently used to create all kinds of fences. However, it is very popular in the construction industry. Various models of plastic structures for decorative fences are widely represented on the market. They are used to highlight flower beds. In addition, plastic picket fences are installed for zoning a site, fencing a playground and small reservoirs, arranging decorative borders.

Specialized stores offer a wide range of plastic sections and blocks for installing fencing. Color palette this material is also very diverse.

Depending on the purpose of the fence, you can select sections different forms and sizes. If you need to designate flower beds, the height of the fence can be 15-20 cm. Such fences are often quite durable due to their small size... If you need to fence a front garden, usually buy higher sections. The sizes must be selected depending on which plants will be adjacent to the fence. For medium-sized shrub plants and flowers, blocks 50-60 cm high are suitable. For large garden vegetation, higher sections can be selected.

Decorative plastic garden fence

A plastic fence for a summer residence can easily copy other materials. Depending on the stylistic features of the site, you can choose fences that imitate wood, brick, stone, etc. At the same time, a plastic fence does not need to be updated every season, external environment, corrosion. Besides, it is beautiful and bright on both sides. You can choose blocks of plastic fencing for any design project.

To decorate the site, they often use a plastic decorative mesh for the fence, which is called "wattle". It looks simple, but noticeably refreshes the area.

Children's safety is a priority issue for any area where babies are. There are several types of plastic fences.

Note! The plastic from which fences for children's play areas are made is absolutely safe. Children's dishes and some toys are made from the same material.

For very young children under 2 years old, a so-called playpen is most often installed. It looks like a vicious circle 70-80 cm high, in which children can spend a lot of time. Therefore, it must be as strong as possible. It is important that there are no sharp parts and protruding corners in the blocks that can injure the child.

Fences inside the house are usually used in order to block the access of children to any premises. It will be undesirable for babies to stay in those rooms where there are dangerous objects, tools, etc. To ensure safety, door rails are installed. The structure is bolted or located at the spur.

Playgrounds are fenced off for games without fail. For such structures, there are necessary safety criteria. To prevent taller children from rolling over fences, the height of the fence should be at least 130 cm. Sharp corners and details should be excluded. It is necessary that the tops of the fence must be flat, so as not to injure the child during active interaction with the decorative fence.

Decorative fence made of wood

Decorative wooden fences form an excellent competition for plastic structures. They are used not only for zoning the territory, but also for erecting a fence around the entire site. Since it is one of the simplest natural materials, it has been used for home furnishing for many years. Therefore, today on the market there are a lot of options for decorating areas with wooden fences.

Traditionally wooden fences fixed on metal poles. Bearing supports are dug into the ground, and then poured with concrete. Such strength is able to provide maximum protection of the fence from any external influences.

Palisade: a trip to a store or a fence for a summer residence with your own hands

For many years, a wooden fence, called a palisade, has not lost its popularity. The palisade has been used since ancient times to protect the territory from uninvited guests... The tops of the stakes were specially sharpened to perform a protective function. This style is good because prepared stakes can be bought in specialized stores, or you can make it yourself. At the same time, their price is low, but to prepare the material, you need to know certain rules.

Bars for the construction of a picket fence must be made from dry wood, picking trees of approximately the same diameter. The raw material will need to be dried. Drying of wood should take place in a well-ventilated area. In this case, direct exposure to sunlight on the logs should be excluded. They need to dry for an average of 20 days, after which the wood is adjusted in height, if desired, creating pointed edges. Along the entire length, the bars are cleaned from unnecessary knots and texture irregularities.

Note! A palisade made of birch pencils will create a unique color on your site at a very pleasant price.

Installation of a picket fence at their summer cottage

For the installation of a picket fence, metal supports are most often used. Before installing the beams, it is necessary to dig a trench approximately 1/10 of the height of the stakes. The trench is poured with cement mortar, which ensures maximum strength and durability of the future fence. Since wood is a natural material, it should be treated with an antiseptic before shrinking. This increases the service life of the structure and creates an obstacle to decay and other natural negative processes.

After preparing the installation site for the picket fence, you can start fixing the processed stakes. They are driven tightly to each other using special tool pads. This is to avoid damaging the tops of the fence. There are several traditional design styles. Most often they use such a layout: a convex solid palisade, a concave simple and a concave double. In the photo of fences for a summer residence, these and other options for the design of palisade fences are widely represented.

Stone garden fence: popular materials

A stone fence has a lot of advantages. Among them, the main plus can be distinguished - this is the durability of such fences. This material does not need special care, while it is highly durable. A large selection of stone species allows you to design a site taking into account any design project. The only drawback is the relatively high prices for the material for the stone fence.

The most accessible (and therefore relevant) option is currently recognized as cobblestone. It goes well with any wooden structures, and also behaves well in cement mortar. Depending on which minerals prevail in the composition of the rock, the cobblestones are brown, terracotta, reddish, golden.

Dolomite is considered an excellent material for a fence. It is sold in flat plates of various shapes - it is a sedimentary rock. It is mined in quarries by explosions, after which the dolomite is processed using a grinding wheel. Decorative fence for a dolomite garden, you can make any shape using different types of geometric masonry.

Limestone is considered to be a very recognizable material and its variety is shell rock. This breed has an outwardly sandy yellowish tone and embossed texture. A characteristic feature of limestone is its malleability to any processing. This material is easy to grind and saw, which, however, is also a disadvantage of such a fence. Limestone absorbs moisture very well, therefore it is subject to external negative environmental influences. For the expediency of its operation, you need to consult with specialists in advance.

Granite is considered to be the strongest, most durable and expensive. The most common stone is dark gray. It is mined in blocks, as well as in crushed form. It is a volcanic rock, therefore it has maximum resistance to any climatic conditions... Granite stone is not often used for a decorative fence at the dacha. This is a very durable, but at the same time quite expensive material, in connection with which experts advise using more affordable rocks for garden fences.

Decorative hedge made of rubble stone

Rubble stones are fractions of various types of stones of irregular shape. It is widely used in construction, as it has an excellent ratio of quality and price. Due to its properties, a rubble fence will protect the site from noise, dust, prying eyes. Moreover, it looks reliable and presentable.

  • torn, with corners in certain places for the convenience of masonry;
  • with smooth sides;
  • "Flagstone" up to 15 cm thick.

The irregular torn shape of rubble stone appears due to the fact that it is mined during the explosion. The first species, which is not processed by anything, is best selected manually. This will allow you to get good fragments for the future fence. For the formation of decorative pillars for a fence made of stone, the second variant of buta is suitable, which has pronounced corners. When laying, you need to carefully consider each fragment in order to eventually form beautiful decorative blocks for the fence posts.

Concrete sections are cheaper than stone or brick fences. They are cast in special forms, with the help of which drawings and openwork compositions are created on the plates.

Uncomplicated manufacturing technique enables manufacturers to provide a wide selection of concrete fences that meet different styles and designs that contribute to home decoration. The most common installation technology is considered, in which a fragment of the fence consists of three horizontal plates placed on top of each other. The entire unit is installed either on supports or with the help of so-called glasses.

First you need to mark the territory and prepare the site for the installation of supports concrete fence... The poles are mounted at a distance of about 2 m from each other. To prepare the glasses yourself, you need to dig holes with a depth of 70 cm to 130 cm and a width of 40-50 cm. The hole should be dug deep in such a way as to exceed the depth of freezing of the earth. Depending on the region, the depth of the pit can be different and differ in size by almost half.

Useful advice! On initial stages installation of the fence, you should use a level - a geodetic device to identify the difference in height between the supports.

Then you need to pour crushed stone into the prepared holes, about a third. A mixture of gravel and sand, stones, concrete waste or brick chips are also suitable. When the supports will be installed in these pits, it is recommended to pour crushed stone or other used material into them. This will create a more stable structure. The columns must be aligned in height in order to avoid installation errors and to make a firm fixation.

Wooden beams are inserted into the grooves of the supports for the convenience and accuracy of the structure. They remain in this position until the posts are finally ready for placing concrete slabs between them. When there is no longer any doubt that the supports stand exactly along the entire perimeter of the fence, cement and sand are poured into the glasses, mixing them to the consistency of thick sour cream. Traditionally, one part of cement is used for 4 parts of sand. After the mixture is poured into the pits, you should check one last time if the pillars are evenly installed.

This solution dries for about 12 hours. If you have to install a fence on uneven terrain, soil is poured into the gaps at the base of the fence. After the main structure is ready, all that remains is to insert decorative concrete blocks for the fence into the grooves. This is just one of the installation methods. It is good in that you can not involve hired workers to perform the installation work.

If you buy ready-made elements of a metal frame, you do not need to resort to the services of blacksmiths. The stones that fill the interior space may have various forms, sizes and colors.

To install, you need to create concrete foundation... In this case, you can either use the pit placement method (that is, concreting only those places where the pillars will be located), or pouring a trench throughout the entire territory of the fence. The pillars are located at equal distances from each other, and fence sections are installed between them. It is most convenient to use square pipes. However, they can be of any design based on the site design project.

For sections, it is advised to use a metal rod. It provides significant reliability and is attractive in appearance. In this case, the rod can be bent in different ways, giving it an original appearance. Of course, the elements of forging will affect the price of the German fence. However, this type of design is attractive both in simple execution and in more intricate design solutions.

The simplest handy tool zoning of flower beds - brick. The presence of residues can be used as an artificial fence. To create a florist, you will have to master simple masonry skills. Improvement of the territory is carried out by laying of the type:

  • "Zigzag";
  • "Chess";
  • "Vertical".

When laying in a zigzag, the material is placed on top of each other with a slope of 45 °. In order for the elements to stand securely, they first dig a groove. The bricks are laid in it in a checkerboard pattern, on top of each other with small gaps that fill cement mortar... When laying vertically, one row is placed vertically at a certain distance from each other so that the second row can be laid flat on top. Fantasy will help to create original figures from bricks. Very often, they are lined with flower beds, forming rhombuses, ovals, square, rectangular shapes.

Plastic

Most often, plastic bottles are used, installing flower bed fences from them. You can paint the blanks with multi-colored paints. Such a fence will frame the beds in an original way. The forms are varied, as far as imagination suffices. First, a groove is dug around the perimeter half the height of the bottles. Then they are placed close to each other, covered with earth, tamped. Neck up or down, depends on the preferences of the site owner. If old vinyl records are lying around, you can attach them, placing them around the perimeter of the beds.

The formation of flower beds is also performed from plastic sheets. This is useful when you need to stop rooted vegetation. The height of the plastic sheet is selected taking into account the depth at which it must be placed.

Rubber

Old car tires good for arranging small flower beds, a flower garden. Earth is poured in the middle, seedlings are planted. Some gardeners are engaged in the cultivation of strawberries in these makeshift beds. Previously, at certain distances, the tires cut holes for planting seedlings. Then the chambers are stacked vertically on top of each other. Each tier is filled with earth. The system is stable, so you can place up to 6-8 rubber chambers. After that, an impromptu garden bed is planted with strawberries. The method is convenient when household plot small sizes. Cameras can be pre-whitewashed with lime, painted.

For high-quality irrigation, set in the center of the column plastic pipe from drilled holes... If necessary, water is poured into it, which evenly flows to the roots of the plants.

Metal

Metal systems are convenient for creating decorative fences. Usually these are small fences installed for the purpose of zoning, decorating the territory. Working with metal will require certain skills and tools. The most commonly used is electric welding. First, the individual structural elements are prepared, then they are welded together. Such fences are strong and can be installed by driving support elements into the ground. The remains of metal profiles are convenient to use in the zoning of flower beds.

Many gardeners who grow raspberries, blackberries use them as a restraint of the spread of plant roots. A trench is dug around the perimeter of the berry to a depth of 20-30 cm, a metal profile is installed. Then they cover it with earth, tamp it. In the future, the roots of raspberries and other vegetation will not be able to spread throughout the garden.

Concrete

It is not difficult to make artificial concrete fences with your own hands. First of all, it will be necessary to master the technique of preparing the solution, the proportions of its constituent substances. For massive outdoor fences, first equip the foundation. A trench is dug, a wooden formwork is installed around the perimeter. The created box is poured with the prepared solution. Small concrete fences for flower beds do not require a foundation.

The prepared forms are filled with a solution, kept until the required strength is achieved. After that, the formwork is disassembled. The resulting volume is filled with earth, plants and flowers are planted. Small flower beds are made of concrete, which are installed at the front entrances to the house, cottage. Common shapes: rhombuses, squares, circles, rectangles, ovals.

Hedge

Decorative fences made of living plants are very popular with many owners of houses and summer cottages. The main thing is to find the appropriate seedlings of the desired type, quantity. These can be trees with a falling crown, densely growing shrubs. Villagers often set up live blackberry fences. The plant is unpretentious, growing at a fast pace. It is spread by the root system, so you will have to equip an underground barrier.

Natural blackberry hedge is the cheapest option for arranging a natural hedge. The main thing is not to start uncontrolled growth. You can create a natural hedge from the following plants:

  • Maiden's grape;
  • Honeysuckle;
  • Climbing rose;
  • Schisandra;
  • Ivy.

When choosing a live fence, you need to pay attention to how the plants tolerate pruning. Some, like juniper, are intolerant of such procedures. Therefore, if these plants are planted, then it is necessary to give them the opportunity to grow freely.

Gabions

Gabions are also used in the arrangement of the local area. To create it yourself, you will need a metal mesh with a certain mesh size. First, a rigid cage is assembled, which is covered with an available mesh. Gabions are made with an anti-corrosion coating. The cage in the net is made depending on the size of the filler.

The system is created by welding individual wires together. Small cylindrical gabions are used as a separate decor on the site. You can plant plants or collect a composition from individual elements... The main thing is to have the skills of welding metals. Filler for gabions: quarry, gravel, pebbles, granite. The flower beds arranged in them look good. You can diversify the landscape of the site in small forms, by purchasing a ready-made mesh, independently giving the desired geometry, reinforcing with rigid ribs.

DIY decorative fence made of branches

An interesting fence, as a decoration, protection of the backyard is a tyn or wicker fence. This type of arrangement has ancient roots. It was a common type of fence of the past centuries. It is made from improvised branches, sticks, vines. Today's landscape design has made twig decor quite popular. The building is environmentally friendly and natural. This element of Slavic culture has become fashionable today. It can be installed in the garden or protected from the access of animals, children, other areas of the courtyard. The technology is simple: the branches cut from the bushes are woven into the installed supports, stakes.

Preparatory work

Two groups of wicker fence elements are procured as raw materials: supports, rods. For the former, thick branches with a diameter of 6-8 centimeters are suitable. Can be used metal pipes, wooden posts. The basic principle is that the higher the supports, the thicker the rods can be used in the weave. The material is procured from fruit trees, willow, birch. Maple and poplar twigs are also suitable. Harvesting is done in the spring, before the appearance of sap flow in the trees. In dry, hot weather, cutting twigs in summer is allowed. Branching is performed at angles ranging from 40-60º. Tyn is woven from freshly cut blanks. Preparation for future use is allowed, but before use, the rods are soaked in hot water... Wooden poles are treated with impregnation, fired, and washed. The most optimal pillars are made of larch, which does not rot.

Main works

After procurement of materials, the main work begins. First of all, the pillars are buried. For a wattle fence one meter high, the supports are driven into a depth of at least 0.3 meters. A one and a half meter fence will require deepening the supports by 0.5 m. When constructing a low tyna, the pillars are driven in at 0.2 m. The distance between the supports is 0.4-0.5 m. The greater thickness of the rods allows for a sparse installation of posts.

At the edges of both sides of the fence, three pillars are driven in, the distance is 0.20-0.25 m from each other. This is done with the aim of rigidly fixing the vine in the initial, final areas. Then the rods are woven, placing the blanks in turn between the supports. The lower rows of the vine must be fixed with wire, buried in the ground by 10-15 cm. The subsequent layers of branches are attached with wire around the frame. Weaving begins from the thicker side of the twigs, overlapping the thin ends of the branches.

After passing three, four rows, it is necessary to compact the vines. This is done by tapping them with a hammer. The ends of the panicles on the vines are pre-cut. If reed mace is used, reeds - laying between the posts is done with armfuls of material. After the completion of the work, the wattle fence is decorated with national ornaments and old utensils. To increase the service life, the structure is coated with varnish.

Conclusion

There are many options for creating elegant, practical barriers for various purposes. It is necessary to purchase a tool, start learning carpentry, construction and practice skills. The choice of available tools for quickly decorating a flower garden will take a couple of minutes. Flower beds can be arranged in concrete containers filled with earth. Such flower beds are used to decorate the front entrances, placing them along the perimeter of the porch. They look beautiful, and in the heat, weaving plant species create coolness. It is easy to create green walls from them, which, during the flowering period, smell and amaze with their beauty. On a private plot, you can always create exclusive decors, easily dismantled parts of fences. Fences protecting plants from the encroachments of poultry, animals, children's pranks.






















Fences arose not much later than at home - hints about this common root in the words "fence", "city" and "vegetable garden". For most people, they were protection from the dangers of the outside world. A couple of centuries ago, a decorative fence could only be found in the garden of a titled person.

Times have changed - in a modern suburban area, a fence is not only a means of marking the border of the territory, but also a way to improve the appearance of the garden, add the final touch to a thoughtful exterior. Decorative fences help draw guests' attention to detail garden composition... In a close community of hobby gardeners original fences will certainly become the subject of discussion (and who knows, maybe the cause of slight envy).

Choosing a decorative fence

A decorative fence will not become an obstacle for an intruder and will not protect owners from prying eyes. Such a fence performs other functions:

  • Zoning. Decorative fencing is an excellent separator between functional areas inside a suburban area, naturally separating, for example, a living area from a recreation area.
  • Accent.The fence in front of the front area (in front of the facade of the house), together with the general design, serves as the business card of the owners, an indicator of their aesthetic taste. An elegant fence around the flower bed draws attention to the flower arrangement.
  • Decorating.Such designs give a finished look to flower beds and flower beds, without blocking the sunlight.
  • Limitation. The fence sets the boundaries for plant growth, protecting the paths from overgrowth of grass, and the soil in high flower beds from spilling.

In order for decorative fences for summer cottages to harmoniously fit into the landscape, it is necessary to clearly understand their purpose (the purpose of the fence), which will help determine the material, size and design. They also take into account the peculiarities of flowers and herbs growing nearby:

  • A fence can be symbolic if it separates the lawn, path or edge of a low terrace. You can cross it and calmly continue your journey.
  • A fence 40-50 cm high protects flowers and herbs from energetic pets and the nimble younger generation.
  • The fence should be strong if lemongrass, honeysuckle, or climbing rose... They are able to braid the fence and knock it down.
  • The fence may have additional functions. A raised edge curb allows the mower to clean the edge of the lawn.

Decorative garden fences: choice of material

Decorative fences for the garden can give the backyard a sense of lightness and sophistication. For the manufacture of fences, both natural and artificial materials are used:

Wood

Technological progress has given mankind many new materials, but wood is still the most popular option, cheap, environmentally friendly and easily fits into any landscape style. Although wood is a short-lived material, the demand for wooden fencing continues unabated. Wooden decorative fences can be divided into several types:

  • Picket fence (picket). It is easy to recognize by its neat, evenly spaced vertical planks (slats). The picket fence clearly marks the border and is therefore often used in the foreground of the site. The classic version is painted in white color and has a height of no more than 1 m, with timely care it can serve for a long time

  • Lattice fence (trellis). Each section of such a fence looks like a frame on which slats are fixed at a selected angle. The design does not provide confidentiality, but it is aesthetic and can be used as a base for climbing plants.
  • Palisade. The ancient strong fence of the logs sharpened at the top has been reduced to the size of a decorative fence around flower beds, flower beds and paths. For the arrangement, pegs are used, with the height of which you can experiment (it is made linear, stepped, with a different cut angle of the stumps, or left chaotic). The texture of the wood is emphasized with a stain or transparent varnish. Sometimes the log is cut into pieces of the desired length, which are dug in along the perimeter of the flower bed and form a chain of stumps.

The main disadvantage of wooden fences is their fragility. The most careful treatment with protective compounds and varnishes will not save the tree from rotting at the point of contact with the ground.

Plant materials

  • Wattle.The traditional fence of the southern regions has won a solid place on the sites of fans of ethno-style. A fence made of intertwined willow twigs (hazel, willow) is an excellent decorative technique for separating zones on a site or fencing a large flower bed. An additional decoration can be a pair of clay pots strung on protruding stakes. This manufacturing technique is used to create a flower-basket, suitable for low-growing flowers.
  • Bamboo. Bamboo is a durable and lightweight material with a beautiful smooth surface and is often used as an alternative to wood. A bamboo fence is found in gardens designed in oriental style... It can last 15-20 years if waxed on the surface. The disadvantages of the material are its cost and processing complexity.
  • Forest material.A fence made of thick twigs and snags collected from the forest can have an authentic look and attract a lack of symmetry. Many people will love a country-style fence made of birch or pine poles.

Metal

Welded and forged fences are a beautiful and expensive category in the range of decorative fences. They can be divided into:

  • Standard, assembled from prepared elements at the factory.
  • Exclusive (copyright), made by the master according to the individual order.

All metal fences are durable, have a respectable look and are combined with a variety of architectural styles. Most often, a metal fence looks like decorative grille, fixed between brick pillars - conifers or climbing plants are often planted near it.

About how decorative fences are made in the video:

Sometimes, for fencing flower beds, trimming of corrugated board is used, which remained after the construction of the fence or replacing the roof. Pieces of suitable size are driven into the ground around the perimeter of the flower bed. Such a border serves for a long time, as it is made of galvanized metal with a layer of anti-corrosion protection.

Stone, natural and artificial

Natural or artificial stone solid fences are obtained, giving the site a natural look. In landscape design they use:

  • A natural stone.The pleasure is not cheap, unless you live at the foot of the mountains. Borders and decorative fences are fastened with concrete or laid with a dry method. Granite, marble, basalt, slate, pebble and sandstone perfectly complement any design.
  • Mosaic border.A unique design can be obtained by using not only river pebbles or paving stones, but also fragments of ceramic tiles (often in combination with glass). Different textured stones and bricks are also suitable for ornament.
  • Brick. Most available material for edging paths and flower beds; looks especially harmonious next to a house faced with the same material. Sometimes the curb or fence is covered with luminescent paint, making it glow in the dark, giving the garden a mystery and showing the boundaries of the paths. For strength, a decorative brick fence will not interfere with a foundation.

  • Gabion.In modern landscape design, this is called metal meshfilled with stones (the main purpose of gabions is to strengthen landslide slopes, bridge cones, river banks). The mesh is welded from galvanized steel and filled decorative stone - large pebbles, basalt, granite or quartzite. The size of individual stones should not be less than the size of the cells.
  • Concrete. Strange as it may sound, concrete decorative fences for summer cottages are becoming more and more in demand. New technologies enable the production of decorative concrete sections and blocks different shades - from light (which can be painted after installation) to natural and bright. The outer side of such elements can be smooth, or repeat the texture of natural stone, brick, slate or tiles. Such a decorative fence turns out to be as effective and durable as a stone one, and it costs much less.

What are the garden fences?

Fences are of different types, and the choice depends on the specific purpose that the fence for flowers will perform:

  2. In the case when the flower bed fence is at the same time a border for the garden path, make the height of the fence 10 cm.
  3. If you need to block the roots of flowers or plants, pay attention not to the height of the fence, but to the level of its immersion in the ground. He is obliged to provide sufficient strength, for example, brickwork or plastic tape.
  4. When it is necessary to protect flowers from cats, dogs, overly curious children, make a fence with a height of at least 0.4 m. Of course, the flower bed will look unaesthetic if it is closed with a solid fence. Use wood, plastic or metal picket fencewhich will make your fence translucent.
  5. Products up to 50 cm in height are suitable for a rose garden, because they will not be conspicuous against the background of tall and lush flowers.
  6. For a mixborder of low flowers and plants, flat stones, paving stones or a border for paths laid out along the perimeter of the flower garden are enough.
