Flowers growing one by one or in pairs, descending in garlands from 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 to keep this beauty? How to protect flowers from the ubiquitous line of a lawn mower, from children always running somewhere, from dogs who strive to lie down on them? Let's consider a few examples of making a fence using improvised materials and a minimum number of tools.

natural stone border

Stone is not an enemy to plants. Many people know that the sculptures created from durable granite, after centuries, have conveyed to this day the beautiful faces of ancient women and the muscular torsos of men. Frozen in stone, they still amaze with their beauty.

And why not use this durable material to decorate adorable petunias, lupins, cosmos, marigolds. Granite and marble, of course, not the most cheap 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 margin, you can impose a fairly large one, thereby protecting it from lawn mowers and other cutting tools.

Variants of the 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 minus can be considered a small height and, over time, a natural subsidence deep into the soil.

Fence for a flower garden made of wooden pegs

Tired of the old plinth, why throw it away? Miniature, up to 20 centimeters, wooden fences look very unusual and pleasant, enclosing plants of medium height. The construction of such a fence will take several hours of time and a couple of meters of the old plinth.

  1. First of all, you need to decide on the height, mark it on the base, and saw off the pegs that will make up the fence.
  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. 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 the level, you can achieve greater accuracy.

Glass bottle fencing - simple and affordable

Glass is not a new material, and certainly not expensive. After all, for sure in your house there is sometimes a bottle of beer, champagne, Coca-Cola or lemonade by the trash can. They will serve as an excellent basis for a decorative fence. All you need to do is collect the required number of glass bottles. For an average-sized flower bed, approximately 20-30 pieces will be required. Behind winter period It won't be too hard to get that many.

The construction technology is extremely simple, pulling out a small hole, you need to stick a glass bottle upside down and dig it in for greater strength. To keep a straight horizontal line will help the usual building level.

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

Considering possible ways improvement of a flower bed, each owner is looking for the simplest and most affordable option. It's easier than building a fence out of crushed stone, wood, or glass bottles. Let's analyze a few more options for decorating floral splendor:

Wooden rods and tree branches as a decorative fence

Rods and branches - to the fire or to work? To build original barriers from the branches of an old tree that fell under an ax - there is nothing easier! Naturally, branches are taken as the basis, but their selection is very important.

To decorate a flower bed, it is advisable to use straight or slightly curved rods. Branches that have knots or shoots are not suitable for work, because with the growth of green spaces, the stems will hang on them and cling. It is advisable to clean straight branches from the bark and dry. An ideal option is also to impregnate them with antifungal agents, but not necessarily.

The construction of such a fence is as follows:

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

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

Another option for wicker fences is a wicker fence. It looks very aesthetic. The method is similar to the construction of branches and rods, only due to the length of the base material in the process of laying out the rows, the main pegs-supports are intertwined.

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

Macrame in garden design

The macrame technique, which is based on a special weave of threads, can be a wonderful and unusual option for decorating a flower bed. Naturally, strong twine will serve as the main material. Any drawing can be taken. Detailed schemes can be found on the Internet or in needlework magazines.

Wooden pegs will serve as fasteners for the original baubles, which can also be braided to match the main motif. The advantage of this work is its originality. The disadvantages include a fairly long duration of work and a short service life.


A fence of dishes (photo)

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

Simply stuck into the ground or embedded in cement mortar, once works of ceramic art, today become original decoration flowering plants. The simplicity, durability and unusualness of such a fence is a definite plus, only some danger to children can be attributed to the minuses, because it can split and injure.

DVDs playing in the sun

Many video and audio enthusiasts often have enough a large number of unnecessary discs that have already played their content millions of times and lost their freshness and quality. By combining them with a paper clip, wire or fishing line into a single canvas and fixing them on the pegs, you can give the flower bed an unusual, bright and shiny look in every way.

The disadvantage of such an undertaking is only a short period of operation of this fence. For the rest, she can become original solution in landscape design of any site.

Plastic bottles - a flight for fantasy

Remaining after feasts can also be useful to the decorator of flower beds. Inserted like glass bottles, carefully painted in different colors, they will 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, under the influence of weather conditions, is a minus of these fences.

Decorative fences enclosing your flower garden

Items such as an old fence, the remains of roofing tiles or wall plastic, unused metal tape in a roll, forged products and other materials at hand can be an interesting basis for creating a flower fence.

Their presence, in various configurations, will bring a touch of chaos and modern colors to the green ornament of plants, forcing hosts and guests suburban area look at the classic forms from a different perspective.

A variety of design options for flower beds, at times, amazes the most experienced grower. Wood, glass, stone chips, knitting, weaving and many other materials reveal countless creative ideas of the owners of summer cottages and simply lovers of aesthetics and beauty.

Consider a few more ideas aimed at fencing for flower beds, which use improvised non-standard materials.

Stone border - a classic version of the fence flower beds in the country








The creation and design of flower beds is undoubtedly an exciting creative activity, and the flight of fancy here is hardly limited to the usual forms and materials.

Creating, against the backdrop of favorite plants, an object of landscape art, each owner will be able to feel like the creator of something new, unusual, original. The main thing is a positive attitude and focus on a truly grandiose result.

Do-it-yourself made from improvised materials or installed using ready-made elements is an important detail in the overall landscape design of the site. It not only performs decorative functions, giving the flower beds a finished, well-groomed look, but also creates a harmonious, unified landscape composition. In addition, it helps in zoning the site, dividing it into thematic zones, as well as performing a protective function, protecting tender plants from the "excessive interest" of children and animals.

Types of fences for flower beds

Depending on the purpose for which the garden fence will be used, a fence of a certain type is selected:

  • to simply separate the lawn and the flower garden, marking the border of the flower bed, a low, modest fence 5-7 cm high will do
  • if the fence for the flower bed simultaneously acts as a border for garden path, you will need a more stable and powerful fence with a height of at least 10 cm
  • a fence made of brick and stone is usually used for flower beds raised above the ground. In this case, in order to hold the soil and keep the shape of the flower bed unchanged and stable, the fence must be stable and durable.
  • to prevent the flower bed from growing and block the long roots of some plant species, a fence recessed to a sufficient depth into the ground will be required. For these purposes, plastic tape or stone (brick) masonry is usually used, but the tree in such conditions will quickly collapse.
  • to protect plantings in flower beds from children and pets, a sufficiently high, at least 40 cm, fence will be required. But in order to maintain the visual appeal of the flowerbed, they use "transparent" fences - fences made of wood, metal or plastic.

The choice of the type of fencing is directly affected by the plants in the flower bed. Around the front garden or rose garden, a fence of medium (40-50 cm) height will harmoniously look. A low fence is visually simply lost against the background of tall slender roses, sprawling peonies or lush dahlias. But a mixborder or a color border practically does not need a fence as such, here it is quite possible to limit yourself to a line laid out of paving slabs, mosaics or flat stones.

Wooden fences

Wood is a very cozy and warm natural material that will look quite natural on the site. It does not heat up in the sun and does not reflect the sun's rays, so it will not burn delicate vegetation. Working with such material is simple, interesting and pleasant, it does not require special skills. A significant drawback is the fragility of the tree, which is partially offset by processing with special impregnations and periodic tinting. In this case, it will be appropriate to use any type of wood - from cut branches to lining, picket fence and even slab.

Wooden fencing can be the most diverse:

  • palisade or border of pegs buried in the ground (churbachkov)
  • type-setting picket fence - both from simple and carved planks, including - of different widths
  • mosaic, laid out from flat transverse saw cuts
  • log fence
  • hedge of branches
  • wicker wattle

A fairly simple decorative fence for flower beds with your own hands - edging a flower garden with wooden chocks. For this, logs of approximately the same diameter can be used, while 20 cm should be added to the required height of the fence - they are buried at this depth in the ground. Before installation, the logs are cleaned of bark and treated with an antiseptic to prevent rot.

In addition, the bottom of the logs can be wrapped in roofing material - this will reliably protect the wood from ground moisture. Along the perimeter of the planned flowerbed with a depth of 20 cm, they dig a groove, install logs tightly and evenly into it and, well tamping, fall asleep with soil. If the tree is well protected from moisture, such a fence will last at least ten years.

How to make a wooden border with your own hands - details on the video:

stone fence

Stone (meaning brick, paving slabs, natural and artificial stone) fencing can be erected both using dry masonry (fencing elements are held by friction and gravity), and using lime, clay and cement mortar. In addition, stone can be combined with other materials (wood, stone). This is a very durable and reliable fence, but at the same time very expensive.

A variety of shapes, configurations and sizes and colors of paving slabs allows you to use it for fencing even the smallest flower beds. And thanks to his careful appearance, paving slabs will harmoniously fit into a fragile flower arrangement.

plastic fencing

Plastic attracts with its excellent performance: immunity to moisture and temperature changes, it is not hygroscopic and durable, perfectly retains its shape. Plastic fencing is easy to install and just as easy to dismantle, replace or rearrange. A huge plus is a large selection of sizes, shapes, sizes and colors, it is easy to choose a plastic fence in the style of landscape design. There are borders that accurately imitate stone, wood or brick.

The main options for plastic fences:

  • sectional fences - different color and configuration, small height, they already have strong cast pegs along the edges. To get a fence, just drive the pegs into the ground
  • plastic border - flexible tape in a roll. With its help, you can get a flower bed of any, the most bizarre shape, go to enclose a path that bends along the flower garden. The border tape can be either smooth or have a textured surface: corrugated, imitating stone or brick.

To install a plastic fence for flower beds with your own hands, it will take a minimum of time.

Advice! Before installation, unfold the plastic curb and put it in the sun - it will become softer and more flexible, it will be easier to install.

To begin with, a groove is dug along the perimeter of the planned flower bed (the depth depends on the purpose of the curb; to protect it from roots, the curb is buried deeper). Measure the tape of the required length, and so that the ends do not diverge, fasten them with a stapler. Install the curb tape in the recess and fill its lower part, tamping it well.

Advice! Along the outer edge, the border can be decorated with small pebbles, gravel, cut bark and other bulk materials.

Light low openwork forged fences will decorate almost any garden. For flower beds with tall flowers, you can choose the appropriate height of such a fence, and it will provide good review colors

When restricting access to children, pets, the height is selected from 0.4 m. The configuration of the boards is created from simple triangles crowning the top of a decorative wooden fence to carved complex figures. Workpieces are stuffed on two crossbars closely or at a certain distance from each other. Finished sections are dug into the prepared trench. You can install posts on which to fix the board fence flush with the ground.

A wooden lattice fence is assembled from slats. First, the contour is prepared, and then, having placed the slats, they are connected to the base. Between themselves, the structural elements are fastened with nails and screws. Sections are installed, fixed on previously dug-in supports. It is even easier to make wattle from branches from trees. The best option willow vine. Prepared branches are laid between driven wooden poles.

  • "Zigzag";
  • "Chess";

Bricks are placed 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 create from brick original figures. Very often they are surrounded by flower beds forming rhombuses, ovals, square, rectangular figures.

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 useful when household plot small sizes. The chambers can be preliminarily whitewashed and painted.

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

Metal

Metal systems are convenient for creating decorative fences. Usually these are small barriers installed for the purpose of zoning, decorating the territory.

Preparatory work

As raw materials, two groups of elements of a wicker fence are harvested: supports, rods. For the first, thick branches with a diameter of 6-8 centimeters are suitable. Can be used metal pipes, wooden poles. The basic principle is that the higher the supports, the thicker the rods can be used in weaving. The material is prepared with fruit trees, willow, birch. Rods from maple, poplar are also suitable. Harvesting is done in the spring, before the appearance of sap flow in the trees. In dry, hot weather, cutting the rods in the summer is allowed. Branches are separated at angles in the range of 40-60º. Tyn is woven from freshly cut blanks. Harvesting for the future is allowed, but before use, the rods are soaked in hot water. Wooden supports are impregnated, fired, and tarred. The most optimal pillars are made of larch, which does not rot.

A one and a half meter fence will require deepening of the supports by 0.5 m. When constructing a low tyna, the pillars are dug in at 0.2 m. The distance between the supports is 0.4-0.5m. The large thickness of the rods makes it possible to install poles more rarely.

At the edges of both sides of the fence, three poles are driven in, a distance of 0.20-0.25 m from each other. This is done in order to rigidly fix the vines in the initial, final sections. Then the rods are woven, placing blanks in turn between the supports. The lower rows of the vine must be fixed with wire, deepening into the ground by 10-15 cm. Subsequent layers of branches are attached with wire around the frame. Weaving begins from the thicker side of the rods, overlapping the thin ends of the branches.

After passing three, four rows, it is necessary to compact the vines. This is done by tapping on them with a hammer. Panicle endings on the vines are pre-cut. If cattail, reeds are used - laying between the posts is done in armfuls of material. After the work is completed, the wattle fence is decorated with national ornaments and antique utensils. To increase the service life, the structure is varnished.
