From car tires

One of the best solutions. Fences made from old tires are reliable and durable. In addition, the tires are made of a waterproof material that does not rot.

Used truck tires work best. They need to be cut and then straightened. In order to make them easier to bend, small cuts should be made along the edges. The resulting fragments are combined into one long tape. You can fasten them with screws or self-tapping screws. But it is not recommended to use glue - the design will turn out to be unreliable and will have to be redone.

From plastic bottles

A plastic container fence is less durable than a tire fence, but it is much easier to make. Holes must be made in the bottles, and then strung on the rope. Tie the ends of the rope to the stakes dug into the ground.

There is also another option. Drill holes in the wooden board, the size of which will match the diameter of the neck. Place the containers with the neck down and secure with the lid. The fence is ready.

From pallets

The fences made of wooden pallets look neat and pretty. Plus, it's one of the most affordable options - pallets are easy to find in the backyards of shops or on a construction site.

To make the pallet fence last as long as possible, a layer of stain should be applied to it. This will save the boards from rotting.

From twigs (or vines)

A fence made of such materials will look great on any site. True, it does not differ in strength and has for the most part a decorative function. But if you combine it with a pallet structure, you get a solid, reliable fence.

Tile or brick

If, after the completion of construction, bricks remain on the site, then they can be used to decorate the beds and flower beds. For a low fence, it is not even necessary to use cement mortar, because the structure will hold thanks to its own weight. Fences made of bricks of different colors look especially impressive.

You can also make unusual fences from paving slabs or flat stones.

From pieces of slate

Making a fence from pieces of slate is as easy as shelling pears. You just need to bury the sheets one third in the ground around the perimeter of the ridge. It is better to overlap the slate - this will help to avoid the appearance of cracks at the joints. It is not recommended to use a hammer for ramming, because the material is quite fragile and can break.
