What they pay attention to
To make the composition look harmonious, some factors are taken into account:
- the general style of the garden area;
- the appearance of buildings;
- plants planted in a flower garden or in a flower bed.
Most often they use improvised materials:
- glass bottles;
- large stones and boulders;
- wooden stakes, cuts, hemp;
- old dishes.
All elements are securely attached to a concrete, sand or metal mesh base.
Stone fence
Complement the flower garden or planting with conifers, low-growing shrubs.
Suitable for a country house made in a discreet Scandinavian style. It harmonizes with timber constructions.
To make it you will need:
- base made of metal mesh or wire;
- stone (crushed stone or pebbles).
Proceed as follows:
- create a sketch;
- mark the territory;
- install the frame;
- fill with stones.
Such a fence not only looks stylish, but also durable. It resists weather changes, does not deform.
Fence made of wooden stakes
Very easy to manufacture. It will fit perfectly into the design of a country-style or Provence plot. It will complement not only flower beds with delicate plants, but also give a finished look to the beds with vegetables and fragrant herbs, separate the lawn from the path or fence off the front garden.
The type of fencing depends on its purpose:
- To decorate the flower garden, use a small fence with a maximum height of 7 cm.
- For a flower bed or a border of a garden path - 10 cm.
- The rose garden is fenced with stakes 50 cm high.
Such a fence, buried 30 cm in the ground, prevents the growth of the root system of flowers, preventing them from appearing on the paths.
For the manufacture of fencing, stakes are taken not only of the same diameter. Different logs look no less original.
To the selected height add 25 cm, necessary for deepening.
Manufactured as follows:
- The tree is cleaned.
- They are treated with an antiseptic.
- Cover with varnish.
- A groove is dug around the perimeter of the landing.
- Wood blanks are installed tightly.
- They are tamped and covered with soil.
This design has a number of advantages:
- It looks aesthetically pleasing.
- Made from environmentally friendly material.
- Easy to manufacture.
- Mobile.
The fence is also used for raised flower beds or flower beds, as it has drainage properties.
From plastic bottles
With the help of plastic bottles, they decorate suburban areas in a very original way. They create not only a fence, but also whole compositions with various characters, fairy-tale heroes. They make fences for garden paths.
Bottle flower beds and flower beds look elegant and original.
Before proceeding with the registration, take the following steps:
- Make up a sketch.
- Mark out the territory.
The bottles are rinsed and filled with river sand, making them more stable.
Then they are buried along the perimeter of the flower garden, pressing them tightly to each other.
The advantages of a plastic container:
- Easy to cut. They create not just fences or borders, but decorate with various details cut from bottles.
- It sticks well.
- Lends itself to staining.
- Resistant to weather extremes.
- Does not harm plants.
From old dishes
Plates made of ceramics will be an excellent solution for creating a stylish fencing. Provence and Scandinavian will harmoniously fit into the style.
To create a fence, the dishes are driven in at least halfway. Placed around the perimeter of the flower bed.
However, such a fence is unstable and capable of performing only decorative functions.
The flower beds and flower beds, decorated with a fence, look complete. The fence is easy to make from scrap materials with minimal preparatory work.
