Fencing flower beds made of plastic
Previously, wooden fences were most often used to limit beds and flower beds, but they cannot be called durable. Despite painting, wood absorbs moisture, swells, decays, it can be spoiled by pests and mold. In addition, it can crack in the hot sun.
Modern plastic barriers for flowerbeds and flower beds are a durable, reliable and durable decoration for your site.
The advantages of using plastic for fencing
- Atmospheric plastic, which is most often used to create fences, quietly withstands both high and low temperatures. It does not crack from frost and does not melt in the sun, so it can be used in any climate;
- Any plastic fence for beds is durable and holds its shape well, not allowing the ground to crumble. It also serves as additional protection against the growth of grass and weeds. It will be convenient to loosen the ground, water the flowerbeds, carry out other work in the garden;
- Although plastic is not a natural material, it is harmless to plants.. Even with strong heat, it does not emit any substances that can affect flowers or vegetables. At the same time insects do not touch it, mold cannot grow on it. Plastic does not fade in the sun and does not deteriorate over time;
- This fence is very easy to install with your own hands.. Brickwork or the manufacture of wooden fences take a long time, and plastic panels can be installed in one day around the garden;
- Caring for plastic panels is also very easy.. They do not need to be painted annually, and dust or sticking earth can be removed from them simply by spraying water from a hose. With such fences the plot will always look neat and beautiful.

Varieties of plastic fencing
Plastic fences for garden beds have a large variety of shapes and sizes. Consider some of them in more detail:
Curb plastic tape
Flexible garden curb is used to create raised beds of any size, as well as to protect lawns and flower beds from the paths. The tape has an average stiffness, its height is from 20 to 50 cm, which is quite enough to create a convenient fence.
This bed is not eroded by water and keeps its shape well. It is delivered in rolls up to 50 m long. One such roll may be enough for almost the entire section, and its price is quite small. With a wide ribbon you can limit the growth of raspberry bushes and other similar plants.
Border tape
The tape allows you to protect the beds and beds of any shape: round, oval, geometrically irregular, which expands the design possibilities of the owners. Its color can be any, but many prefer green or brown fencing. With its help, you can also create multi-tiered flower beds, which look particularly good as decoration in front of the facade of the house.
Installing the tape is not difficult: the kit includes plastic pegs and instructions.
Tip! Pegs must be installed at the corners of the bed and evenly around the perimeter. They attach the tape, while it is partially buried in the ground vertically. It is important that the tape is well stretched, this will ensure proper strength.
Plastic panels "Garden Board"
With all the advantages, the border tape is not very rigid, so it can not withstand an accidental impact. A more durable version of plastic fencing is the “Garden Board” - panels up to 3 m long and up to 13-15 cm high. They are equipped with grooves and fasteners for quick and easy connection.
With their help, you can fence not only the beds and flower beds, but also recreation areas or children's sandboxes. The garden board has a smooth and even surface with sufficient strength. It is difficult to scratch it, and it can withstand even a strong blow.

The color of the panel can be any: from white to dark brown. With its help, you can build well-designed compositions that adorn the site.
Important! Such a fence is indispensable when arranging greenhouses and closed beds, as it is very easy to attach a metal frame and film to it. Plastic garden boards reliably protect the beds from spilling, they are not afraid of moisture and sudden changes in temperature. The only drawback is the relatively high price.
Assembling a garden board is not a difficult task, and special skills are not needed for this.
