How to make beautiful decorative plastic flower bed fences

Design advantages

Fences and all kinds of fences in the country are often made of plastic. It is lightweight and cheap, it can be used to make elements of a wide variety of colors and shapes, which are very easy to assemble and install. Special plastic modules of various sizes are on sale, of which, as from a children's designer, the owner of the site collects fences according to his wishes. They perfectly endure any weather, do not lose their visual appeal. Such a structure is easy to install, if desired, you can disassemble, move to another place or make any changes.

For those who want to buy finished products, manufacturers offer different models that advantageously combine decorative qualities with purely utilitarian ones. They not only decorate the yard, but protect flower beds and beds from weeds or pets. It is not difficult to understand them if the owners have already decided what the fence is for.

If small plants grow on the flowerbed, the Garden Constructor sets or border tapes are suitable, they are 15, 20 cm high. For tall flowers, there are openwork fences with a height of 25 to 55 cm. You can purchase individual modules of the required height and make a beautiful decoration for curly flowers or even a gazebo out of them.

It is difficult and expensive to make fences from wood or natural stones, but you can buy ready-made plastic fences that look like natural material. "Old stone" or "Garden board" can mislead neighbors, but the owners will easily bring and install such fences made of polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene or polypropylene. These modern materials are completely environmentally friendly, do not evaporate harmful substances, do not fade or melt under the influence of sunlight. They can be easily installed with the help of plastic pegs, and then disassembled before the onset of winter, so that next spring they can build other flower beds in a different place on the site.

Do it yourself

At the dacha, materials left over after repairs or various rubbish are often stored, which it is a pity to throw away. Much of this can be tailored when decorating a site. Fences for flower beds are successfully made from old, even broken brick, boards, branches, former shelves, vinyl records, old plates that are no longer used, but for some reason are saved.

Old car tires serve as material not only for fences, but they make a wide variety of figures from them, which, instead of garden sculptures, perfectly decorate summer cottages and individual flower beds. They are cut and painted, turning them into fantastic animals that guard the plantings. Ceramic tiles, plastic modules of suspended ceilings (which were replaced with new ones during the renovation) - all this is quite capable of continuing its service in the yard. They can be used to make wonderful curbs and fences. Glass or plastic bottles can serve the same purpose.

How to make a bottle fence

Bottles made of food-grade plastic are most likely to be found in every country house, and you can also make a fence for a flower bed out of them. This material itself asks to be made of it - lightweight, durable, simply cut with scissors, fastened with threads or paper clips, retains its qualities, regardless of temperature extremes. And what is not made of it! High transparent fences of several rows of bottles, small borders around flower beds or paths, awnings and partitions, even gazebos or houses.

Often the bottles are used whole. It is easiest to bury them up to the middle in an upright position with the bottom upward around the flower garden - here is the fence. Only first you need to fill them with earth, sand or small stones to keep their shape. It is very easy to make a low decorative fence for a flower bed from bottles stacked on one side.

If you cut off the bottom and insert the bottles one into the other, you get a kind of snake of any length that can be bent at any angle, it is able to smoothly bend around the rounded shapes of flower beds or outline geometrically regular beds. Only this hollow snake needs to be filled with something to make it heavier and keep its shape (any loose material will do). It will need to be slightly dug in, at least a third of the width, so that the fence is stable.

If you cut the bottles lengthwise into strips of the same width, you can make a decorative wicker out of them. You will need vertical pegs, preferably wooden ones, then the strips can be attached to them with wire or nails. Frame fences of any height are made from bottles, it is clear that they have a decorative function, and certainly not a protective one. But they look like a real fence.

The frame is made of wooden slats. Two wooden pegs on top are connected with a wooden rail, bottle caps are attached to it from below, and bottles are screwed into them - that's one element of the fence is ready. In the same way, you can make a high fence, from 5 bottles it will turn out to be more than 1 meter. To do this, another rail is installed under the bottoms of the bottles, caps are also attached to it, and bottles are screwed into them - this operation must be repeated until the intended height is reached. Of course, the horizontal slats must be well attached to the vertical stakes.

If you need a high fence, they do it according to the same principle, using wire for horizontal fastening. The frame can be metal or wood. Fence fences are made by cutting off the bottoms of the bottles and inserting them one into the other (except for the last one). The upper one will be attached with a lid to the horizontal bar of the frame, and the lower one can be attached by gluing or pinning the bottom with a wire to the lower bar of the frame. Five pieces will make a meter-high fence.

A wire must be passed through each bottle, for which plastic is drilled. If each fence consists of 5 bottles, then they will be stitched vertically with 5 strips of wire, which, in turn, are firmly attached to the side vertical strips of the frame. The fence will look more transparent if the cut bottoms are placed on the wire between the bottle pickets.

Even capital structures are erected from bottles, for which they are filled with sand or earth, laid on a concrete or clay base. Of course, such fences or walls are very wide. Beautiful fences are obtained from multi-colored covers, if they are drilled and connected with wire to frame modules or glued to the base. So, some craftsmen lay out beautiful ornaments.
