Necessary requirements for garden fences

A number of requirements will help you decide which material to take and how to further form the system of beds.

Strong fence. If the sides do not firmly hold the ground, then the whole structure loses its meaning. How strong the fences are, showers and floods.
The material should not crack or crumble from accidental mechanical damage by working tools.
The estimated service life is 5-8 years.
Trouble-free dismantling is welcome.
If the material is environmentally friendly and does not emit toxic substances, it will be a priority.
Price issue: the cheaper the product is, the more pleasant it is.
Strongly warming material can have a detrimental effect on the plants in the ridge, as it provokes excessive dryness of the soil.

Any shape of the ridges can be supported

As for the dimensions of the beds for vegetables, the height of the side should be about 15-30 cm.If we are talking about planting potatoes, it is advisable to set the sides to a height of 40 cm.

The process of making a border for the beds: general points

The arrangement of the ridge begins in the fall, and fences are erected in the spring-summer period.

If this was not done in the spring, then in the summer you can still start building the border of the plantings

A trench is dug around the bed, the depth of which should hold the protective material well. The product is lowered into the trench and covered with soil. If the soil is loose, you can add clay. Everything is compacted with the addition of water.

Options for a wooden fence for garden beds

If we consider wood through the prism of the requirements for the fence, then it falls under all the points. Installation is not difficult, quick, but if you do not plan to treat wood from decay, then the service life will not be particularly long. You can take hemp of thin trees, thick timber, lining, slab, boards.

The best species for this purpose would be oak, ash, cedar or larch.

A wide beam is not the cheapest pleasure, but the result is impressive. It turns out very neat planting places. It is convenient to sit and relax on such bumpers. The seedling cups can also be placed on the side during planting.

Long planks can be used to build first-class boards. Usually only two boards go to one wall. The corners of the box are connected with racks from a bar.

Slate curbs: budget option

Now everywhere they replace old slate coatings with new roofing materials. But the outdated undulating slate is used in vegetable gardens.

Asbestos cement is resistant to moisture, it is easy to install. If you do not break the curb, then the service life will be long.

Unfortunately, slate is not the most impact-resistant material and can crumble from damage.

Anyone who does not want to mess around and cut material from the roof can purchase 3 m long strips of asbestos cement

The slate fence in the corners is fastened with bolts or a frame made of wood or metal.

Fencing plastic

You can decorate the beds with plastic modules: they are sold in garden centers and other stores. There is enough assortment: border tape or ready-made sides - the prices for the material are different, as well as the color performance.

Ready bumpers

The flat, pretty bumpers are rigid enough to serve the purpose. It is convenient to mount them, since teeth are provided from below. Outwardly, it may be an imitation of other building materials.

Curb tape

The specially designed curb tape is also used in flower beds, and in truck farming.

The material is flexible, easy to use

Delivery of the tape also does not cause difficulties, since these are compact rolls of a given length and width of 20-50 cm. The pegs, which will fix the product, are also included in the set.

To install the curb tape, you need to insert the pegs along the line of the future ridge, and the product must be attached to them. The tension on the line will provide a strong frame for the fence.

Brick walls of the garden

For arranging the fence, use any brick... Laying can be straight horizontal or diagonal, if the beds are buried in the soil, vertical, at normal soil level.

The form is variable

Installation and dismantling of the fence is more time-consuming due to the laying of each individual brick and the transfer of building materials from place to place. Otherwise, it is a suitable type of fence that has almost all the qualities of a good installation.

Natural materials for garden beds

You can take sandstone and any other stones to create grandiose changes in your summer cottage.But for those who do not want long-term stationary ridges, wicker fences will be to their liking. We use the gifts of nature for our needs by making permanent or temporary fences.

Stone fences

In addition to high strength, stone ridges have a pronounced decorative effect. You don't have to be a great architect to be able to build in the garden stone fence.

The dry method involves the use of large cobblestones that go 5-7 cm deep into the soil.

Fences are made of sandstone, limestone, basalt, or pebbles. Expensive granite is not needed, it will acidify the soil anyway.

The second option is to put the stones on a cement mortar. It turns out a monolithic structure.

The type of stacking depends on the shape of the stones and on the stacker

Fences braided from branches

The method assumes the presence of minimal skills in weaving from willow vines. Such beautiful large-scale baskets look beautiful, they fulfill their function, but they cannot boast of their durability.

The wattle can be of any height, but high ridges are impractical

Cinder block fences

Cinder blocks are popular as a building material. They can be mounted without mortar as a fence. It is not necessary to buy a lot of building materials, often excess blocks remain from the construction site, and they are given or sold at times cheaper.

Metal containers as a fence for garden beds

If you want in the garden of French romanticism, you can look for galvanized metal containers. Steel turns out to be a better choice than iron anyway.

Fences can be assembled from ready-made modules, which makes them also easy to disassemble if necessary or at the end of the season.

If the metal is not galvanized, then annual painting will have to prevent corrosion.

Containers can be large

The downside of this solution is that the metal heats up perfectly in the heat and transfers heat to the roots of plants, burning them. The polymer coating saves from this problem.

Often they began to use the remnants of the metal profile, cutting it into strips of the required width

Fencing options for beds made of scrap materials

There are different ideas for arranging the walls of the ridge. We got acquainted with the most common ones above. And if you approach the solution of the issue with a share of creativity?

Atypical solution: glass or plastic bottles

Getting plastic bottles is not a problem: the problem is usually where to put them. If you have accumulated a lot of 1.5-2 liter bottles, or you know where you can get them, why not make an interesting fence?

The bottles are also stacked upside down in a ditch and covered with earth. To strengthen the structure, it is pulled together with wire at the corners, tying it around the installed stakes.

Glass bottles do not need to be filled with sand, as they themselves have a good weight.
