How to make a decorative fence

In this section, we will discuss with you several options for decorative fencing, which can be made independently and without extra costs.

Wooden fence

Consider the example of a wicker fence.

Wicker fence is perfect for allocating recreation areas on the site

The first step is to prepare materials. For this, it is best to use the autumn harvesting of annual shoots of willow or aspen.

Important! Sections should be made with a sharp knife, so that no irregularities remain.

For the support is best suited wooden fence posts, treated with antiseptics. If there is no possibility to buy, after all, the price for them is quite high, you can use a regular bar of 30x30 mm and polish it manually.
In the place where the decorative hedge is planned, pits should be dug 30-40 cm deep.

If the fence is ceremonial, then be sure to install the pillars on the level

Prepare in advance the sand and gravel, which will be placed on the bottom of the recess.
After that, take a wooden support in your hands and use a sledge hammer to hammer it into the ground by 50-60 cm.
Cover with sand pad 10-15 cm.
After that, fill the pit with the same soil that you dug and properly tamp.

Tip! The ends of the posts carefully grind and char, so the material will hold longer and not rot.

After the vertical supports are installed, it is necessary to begin weaving the vines. Start better from the bottom.
The sequence should be the following: the first shoot is laid by a snake between the pegs, the next - by a snake, only from the opposite side. So that two rows do not repeat and do not bend around a column on one side.

The picture shows two types of weaving.

Note! To make the decorative fence serve you as long as possible, varnish the material. Thereby you protect the fence from moisture and ultraviolet rays.

Stone fence

Do not like wooden decorative fences to give?

Then let's make on the site a fence of natural stones.

First of all, it is necessary to prepare everything that is required for the mortar: cement, sand, water and a container for the mixture.
After that, wash all the stones that will be used in the construction of the fence and let them dry.
At the place where there will be a fence, dig a small hole in the ground, 30-40 cm is enough. This is for the foundation.
Mix the solution in the tank and pour the cement into the trench so that no more than 10 cm is left to the surface. Stir until a homogeneous mixture.

Cement mortar can be prepared in a conventional metal bucket.

Wait for the base to clutch. It will take 3-4 days in the warm season.
Now, when the foundation for the fence is ready, you can build a formwork for a fence. You can use old boards, chipboard or DVPO boards, the main thing is to try to make it as even as possible.
After the formwork is installed, proceed to the next stage - the preparation of the solution. It is prepared in almost the same way as for the foundation, with one exception - the rubble should be fine.
When the solution is prepared, lay the natural stone on the bottom of the formwork and pour it with cement so that the first row of stones disappears.

Please note - all smooth and finished sides are facial.

Now lay out the next row of stones and also pour in the solution.
All work should be done at one time to avoid "layering."

Important! Try for the outer sides of the fence to pick the most beautiful stones, and large and untreated lay in the center of the structure. To save, you can fill the space and broken bricks.
