We build a fence from scrap materials with their own hands

The fence on the site can not just enclose the territory, but become its decoration, if you give free rein to your imagination or use ready-made interesting design solutions

Unfortunately, most often you can find wooden fences, siding, picket, brick or iron mesh. These fences are not cheap, and meanwhile, the fence can be made with your own hands from materials that are always at hand and which we simply throw into the landfill.

Handmade decorative fence

We build a glass fence

For example, using simple glass bottles you can make an unusual beautiful fence, which will decorate the site and give the whole territory a certain zest. In finished form the fence from bottles reminds a screen. At will it is possible to apply a list on bottles. Make such a fence with your own hands under the force of each.

Before you start making a fence, you need to collect the required number of bottles. This will take time, connect your friends and acquaintances to the collection, even if they don’t throw the bottles away, but bring them to you.

Thick iron rods, the diameter of which must be such that it enters the opening of the bottle neck and goes out into the hole in the bottom, which you can easily do with your hands with a special diamond drill for glasses - will become a good basis for a hedge. True, to make these holes in the bottles is not so easy, you have to really try, or contact a professional glass cutter.

You can string the prepared bottles onto the rod in any order you like. As an additional decor, you can use other cheap glassware or wooden rings, as shown in the photo.

Glass fence

Glass fence особенно хорошо смотрится солнечным днем, тогда он переливается всеми цветами радуги. Необычно смотрятся разные по форме и цвету стеклянные бутылки, выложенные в раствор. Обвитые жимолостью и нанизанные, словно бусы, на красивую проволоку пластиковые бутылки - еще один вариант забора из бросовых материалов.

Plastic bottles are good not only for the fence, they can be used to realize the most daring ideas in the country and in the garden:

• flower pots;
• carports;
• interesting sculptures;
• figures for the garden;

Making a fence with your own hands from materials that are considered to be wasteful, the process is creative, perhaps even more original ideas will come to you while you work on using unnecessary items in the country house, to decorate a garden, and so on.

The nobility and beauty of hedge

An irresistible charm and even some nobility will give a hedge to the most ordinary fence.

You can create it yourself using these plants:

• pine (preferably dwarf);
• самитит;
• ale;
• iva (carlikova);
• willow;
• sea ​​buckthorn.

Selected plants need to be planted on the border of the entire fence, they will create an atmosphere of relaxation and hide your territory from prying eyes.

Hedge

Other materials are also suitable for creating a unique fence:

• vine twigs;
• crates made of wood;
• metal beams;

If the rods of the vine give roots, and it blooms, your fence will look even more original.

• A wicker or walnut basket can be very intricate;
• It is easy to weave it, and it will fit in any landscape very organically;
• This is a very cheap natural material that allows you to experiment with it without fear, it is enough to stock up on bars;
• The life of the fence from three to six years, sometimes for its manufacture using a live plant (willow). In this case, the fence must be watered so that the plant is well rooted, and then you get a hedge that will serve you for a long time.

Tip! To make the hedge look neat and beautiful, overgrown plants are pruned in late autumn.

Wattle in the design of the garden

Recommendations for the manufacture of wicker fence

Before you get to work, you need to prepare material:

• Willow branches 2-3 centimeters in diameter. You can use the branches of other trees, as long as they are long, smooth and flexible;
• For greater stability of the fence, prepare support - five centimeters thick branches.

A brief instruction will help you complete all the steps correctly:

• First, all the branches and stakes are cleared from the bark layer, the stakes are sharpened on one side - from the bottom and they are driven into the ground to a depth of 25 centimeters. There must be a distance of 40 centimeters between the stakes;

Tip! A plank made of wood, which is removed at the end of the work, which is nailed to the stakes, will help to avoid the curvature of the handmade fence.

• We need to weave in the direction from the bottom up;
• Each twig in turn is wound up on both sides of the stakes, in the form of a figure of eight, until the end;
• If the rod was short, another rod is put to it, which is inserted from the other end, so that a hole does not form in the chain.

The process of making wattle fence

The second method of making wattle is vertical weaving.

• The distance between the stakes in this case is 1 meter and horizontal guides are driven in every 30 centimeters in the intervals between them. They must be braided with prepared rods so that their ends touch the ground;
• It is recommended to treat all the rods and stakes with an antiseptic (any colorless) - this will prevent their rotting, the price of the antiseptic is low and the costs will not be burdensome;
• For greater stability of stakes, pieces of pipes are driven into the ground, into which stakes are then inserted. Wire, rope and nails are used to attach the rods to the stakes.
