A personal plot can be not only a resting place, but also a source good harvest... For this, many residents equip a vegetable garden or greenhouse. For beautiful design beds use all kinds of fences, and the modern trend is fences for beds from plastic panels, which can be bought in different designs and colors.

Design solution for a beautiful decoration of a garden on a personal plot using plastic fences

Reasons for the popularity of plastic fences

When forming flower beds or flower beds, all kinds of improvised materials were previously used, for example, brick or wood. Moreover, the first material was most often used to decorate flower beds, and the second was used for flower beds. The wooden fence of the beds has outlived its own, it is short-lived, over time, the boards dried out, cracked, under the influence of atmospheric precipitation, the moisture content of the wood increased, which caused favorable conditions for the development of fungus and mold.

Wooden fences are not always aesthetically pleasing and durable

Durable, plastic garden fences do not have these drawbacks. The advantages are:

Heat resistance... Plastic is easy to carry as low temperature conditions in winter and high in summer.

High strength... The fence keeps its shape well, preventing the soil from leaving the garden.

Harmlessness... Plastic is an artificial material, it does not pollute the environment, since it does not contain harmful toxic substances in its composition.

Security from destruction by mold, fungus or insects.

Color fastness... The color of the panels does not change under the influence of temperature and sunlight.

Ease of installation and maintenance... Installation of plastic fences does not require special skills. Plastic is easy to clean, just pour water over the panel from a hose.

Low cost.

Thanks to these advantages, the plastic board for the beds is recognized as practical and durable material, and flower beds and beds can now take on the most unusual shapes of various heights and colors. To obtain high beds made of plastic panels, buy a panel that is quite appropriate in height, in specialized stores they offer several options for sizes.

Which material will be better and cheaper

Fences for beds, depending on the material used, can have a variety of shapes and sizes, and the color scheme will allow you to choose the material for any existing interior.

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)

The advantages of this material made it possible to obtain widespread use of PVC fences. PVC is used to make curb tapes, plastic boards, nets, flexible fences. Such products have sufficient rigidity to maintain the desired shape and height of the beds. Some of them, for example, a garden board or a garden constructor are used to create sandboxes and playgrounds, plastic mesh has found application in fencing construction and repair areas and sports complexes.

Fencing for PVC beds is much cheaper than metal structures, while it is in no way inferior to them. They are also durable, because during operation they do not corrode and do not fade under the influence of direct sunlight.

On our site you can find contacts of construction companies that offer. You can communicate directly with representatives by visiting the Low-Rise Country exhibition of houses.

Polycarbonate

The material has been widely used in the construction of greenhouses and greenhouses, it can also be used in the formation of beds, both in open areas and inside greenhouses.

Among the advantages are high mechanical strength and impact resistance, the ability to withstand high temperatures environment... Using thinner polycarbonate sheets, you can form round or oval beds, the denser material can burst when folded. Polycarbonate has several colors, but the color is very afraid of the sun's rays, after 1.5-2 years of use, the color acquires a dull shade.

Also, the disadvantages include weak frost resistance: over time, under the influence of low temperatures, the material becomes more fragile, and can collapse even from a weak blow.

Metal-plastic

Metal-reinforced plastic fences are strong steel frames coated with a layer of zinc and polymer to protect the metal from corrosion. The size of the panels can be selected for any garden bed, the only drawback of such material is the inability to form rounded shapes. This minus is compensated by the alternative of obtaining early harvest, since, being a good conductor of heat, the metal fence quickly warms up the soil in spring, which contributes to early planting of seedlings and rapid growth of plants.

Metal fences do not need to be removed from the beds for the winter, which saves time in the spring for re-division of the sowing zones.

Metal-plastic fences are strong, reliable and durable

Modern fencing for flower and vegetable beds

Depending on the shape and functionality of the flower beds and beds, various types of fences are used:

border tape;

plastic panel (plastic board, garden board);

plastic mesh;

flexible fencing.

Each of the materials has its own characteristics that make it preferable for a particular type of work.

You can see clearly about the fences for the beds in the video:

Curb tape

Due to its rigidity, the tape is used to form beds of any shape and size, as well as height, depending on the material used, the height of the bed can vary from 20 to 50 centimeters. The flexibility of the border tape allows you to design flower beds of any geometric shape: round, oval, square, rectangular - as well as in the form of irregular shapes of a round or polygonal shape.

Flower bed using border tape

The curb tape prevents the bed (flower bed) from blurring the edges during rain, holds the soil well and does not change shape during operation. The color of the ribbon can be any, but, as practice shows, buyers are more attracted to shades of brown and green.

The tape is easy to install, the set includes plastic pegs for fixing the tape and instructions. Due to the different heights of the tape, you can form multi-tiered flower beds, which is important for decoration alpine slides and others design solutions on a personal plot.

Curb tape allows you to make multi-level flower beds

Plastic panels

The fence for beds made of plastic panels has one important advantage in comparison with the curb tape - the plastic board has greater rigidity, which allows it to withstand impacts directed at it, without deforming at the same time.

The length of the "garden board" reaches 3 meters, the height is no more than 15 cm. The panels are fastened to each other according to the "groove-key" principle, which allows for quick installation. Plastic panels are widely used not only in the fencing of beds and flower beds, but also for decorating children's sandboxes and playgrounds. The color scheme of the panels varies from white to dark brown.

Plastic boards tolerate rapid temperature changes, which allows them to be used as a base for a greenhouse when the temperature outside and inside the structure is different.

Plastic mesh

Plastic mesh has found wide application in replacing fences made of metal mesh, unlike the latter, it does not corrode. The net is used for fencing sports grounds, construction sites, delimiting the zones of the personal plot. When properly installed, the mesh provides sufficient structural rigidity and the reliability of the fence.

Delimitation of zones with a plastic fence on a personal plot

Flexible fencing

This type of fence is also called a garden constructor. As a type of curb tape, it has the same advantages - it makes it possible to form beds of various shapes, creating multi-level structures of any size and height.

Round shaped sandbox fencing

Flexible fencing of beds consists of single elements, which, when connected to each other, form a single tape, with the possibility of forming any shape of a bed or flower bed. The base of each element has a pointed tip that hammers into the ground and locks the tape securely in place.

Compound individual elements flexible fencing

Beds made of plastic boards: product specificity

While curb tape has many beneficial properties, it is not an alternative to rigid fencing. The structure of the beds made of PVC panels is able to withstand a lot of soil pressure, the occasional gift of a shovel or other gardening tool while working in a vegetable garden. This type of product is called "Garden Board".

Externally, the products look like panels. Their length may vary, but the maximum limit of this indicator is 3 m. The width of the board is no more than 15 cm. In the end parts of the boards there are fasteners and groove recesses, which greatly simplify and speed up the process of assembling the beds. Thanks to this system, structures of any size can be created.

The assembly of beds from plastic boards is carried out taking into account the manufacturer's instructions. The set of products, in addition to panels, includes stakes made of plastic. To design a bed, it is enough to connect the boards to each other due to protruding fasteners and groove recesses. After assembly, the product is set on the ground and fixed with plastic stakes driven into the ground. At the end of this process, decorative plugs are installed on the attachment points so that earth does not fall into these holes.

Features of WPC beds: characteristics and advantages of products

Many summer residents resort to the construction of beds from boards made on the basis of wood-polymer composite (WPC).

Such products have several significant advantages:

1. Simple assembly and disassembly system, which uses a special fastening system.
2. The durability inherent in all polymer products.
3. Aesthetic appearance - products made of wood-polymer composite imitate a real wooden board. The material lends itself well to the dyeing procedure, so there are many color variations on sale.
4. The ability to create beds and beds of an unusual shape.
5. Smooth surface of products.
6. The ability to achieve savings in the construction of beds by purchasing WPC panels instead of expensive materials, which are superior in characteristics to ordinary wooden boards.
7. Simple care system and practicality.

The beds made of WPC panels are characterized by high, maintain the colors of natural wood species, as well as their natural texture. The material has few drawbacks, but they are still there. With prolonged contact with moisture, the structure tends to absorb it, which can lead to mold formation.

Note! Products are recommended to be treated with a special protective compound to prevent the panels from deteriorating under the influence of ultraviolet radiation.

Technical characteristics of fences for beds made of WPC

For the manufacture of WPC panels, a mixture consisting of plastic and wood flour is used, therefore this type of material can be called relatively natural when compared with PVC products. After mixing the components, the polymerization process takes place, as a result of which the panels acquire new properties, therefore the designs of such beds are widely used in suburban construction.

Product specifications:

Characteristic	Index
Density of material, kg / dm³	1,4
Tensile elongation percentage,%	0,5-1
Bending resistance, MPa	25-60
Impact strength level, kJ / m2 (Charpy)	3-4

In the process of assembling the beds, two types of parts are used: the board itself and the hinge with swivel mechanism... To fix the structure, there are special pegs that connect the elements to each other, and are also used to increase the height, if you need to increase this indicator.

The mesh, as a fence for the beds, is not as popular as the previous versions of the products. But it also has its advantages. This type of fencing will be in place if children play with a ball in the area. A soft plastic net stretched between the supports will protect the plants from damage.

Features of assembling beds from plastic panels with your own hands

To build beds from WPC panels, you will need a set of boards and logs that will be used as posts. In addition, you should stock up on decorative plugs that prevent debris and dirt from entering the pivot hinge mechanism, as well as corners that cover the outer corners.

Gardening technology:

1. Wood-polymer composite boards are cut into pieces of the required size. The length of the segments is selected taking into account the dimensions of the future bed.
2. The height of the corner posts should be 0.2 m higher than the upper border of the fence, the difference for the same indicator of the internal posts is 0.5 m.
3. The boards are bonded together in a seamless way. A similar result is achieved by mounting one panel into another as tightly as possible. No gaps are allowed. In order to save money, it is allowed to use wooden bars or metal corners as support posts.

Helpful advice! The panels can be bonded at different angles, making it possible to experiment with the shape of the beds. The minimum permissible angle is 60º.

After assembly, the box made of WPC panels is fixed on the corner supports in such a way that the free section of the support, which exceeds the height of the fence, is at the bottom. He will subsequently be buried in the ground. The formed frame must be carefully transferred to the place where the bed will be organized, and the structure must be aligned diagonally.

After that, the places of installation of the corner supports are determined, the box is installed in accordance with this marking, intermediate columns are set inside the structure. It is recommended to use self-tapping screws to secure the boards to the supports. At the end of the work, the corners are cut, they are fixed with self-tapping screws.

Most of the structures made of plastic are delivered almost ready-made. The assembly technologies for such elements are very simple and most often consist only in the serial connection of the elements available in the set. For this reason, plastic garden fencing is so popular.

Garden curbs are a practical and essential enclosure around them. main destination artificial walls around the beds - an increase in the height of the fertile layer, which can be easily created by frequent mulching with compost soil after watering. Over time, the fence for the vegetable growing area has become an element of landscape design. In the ornamental garden, the borders act as dividers and framing areas where cultivated plants grow.

The fence for the beds will demonstrate the practical benefits of the first season.

From an aesthetic point of view, the places of planting seeds and seedlings of vegetable crops will look more well-groomed, noticeable, expressive. They do not need to be periodically put in order, to deal with water leaks during irrigation, to maintain a horizontal plane on the slopes.

From a practical point of view, there are also many benefits:

• fenced vegetable plots will have significantly less weeds than untreated areas;
• less physical effort will be required for manual weeding, digging, mulching, feeding and other work;
• it is more convenient to cover such structures with a film; on high fences, it is easier to fix the arches for the greenhouse in order to plant seedlings of vegetables and flowers in it;
• it is easier to do natural heating, by creating a layered bed with biofuel, for growing cucumbers, peppers and other vegetable plants that love heat.

Fenced vegetable plots will have significantly less weeds than untreated areas

How to make a fence for the beds with your own hands

Certain requirements are imposed on the walls:

• they should be low (height 10-30 cm), so as not to shade vegetable plants at the beginning of growth;
• neat - emphasizing the straightness or irregular, but attractive shape of the beds;
• dense - preventing the fertile layer from spilling out onto the path or spreading water beyond the border of the zone for growing plants when watering;
• beautiful to fit into the overall structure of the improvement of the suburban area.

Fences for vegetable growing areas can make a vegetable garden not only cozy, comfortable, well-groomed, but also original, maybe even unique.

Boxes of them with a thick fertile layer do not need to be dug up, therefore, soil care in them is the simplest - loosening with a hoe before planting seeds or seedlings.

On flower beds and flower beds, borders of living plants of the same species (rosemary, calendula, boxwood, hyssop and other low perennial flowers planted tightly in 2-3 rows) look spectacular, cute, stylish. Fences for territories with vegetables are also constructed from artificial and improvised materials - bricks, boards or wooden beam, stones, sheet metal, plastic, sawn slate and other construction waste. They can always be collected in the right amount in the nearby abandoned territories or bought cheaply in stores. Many summer residents, when asked how to protect the beds at the dacha inexpensively, unequivocally answer - with material from construction waste, cobblestones, low picket fence and other items that can be found at construction dumps, on river shallows and in other places.

Borders for wood beds are simple, familiar, natural. Simply - because any. They are easily fastened with nails, screws, glue. The pieces of wood are easy to assemble and also easily disassembled for transfer to a new location.

As usual - because there are many timber buildings around us.

Naturally - because trees grow everywhere.

The fence for beds of hemp looks original, of the same thickness of low blocks or low wattle. Most often, the wooden border material for the beds is an edged and unedged board, which forms a capacious box without a bottom, where all the necessary raw materials are poured.

You can make a box from separate shields, which are knocked out of a slab, picket fence, old floor slats, lining and other types of lumber.

The shields are attached to each other and fixed with stakes hammered from the outside. This design can be easily disassembled and assembled in a new place.
Wooden objects can be treated with protective impregnations against decay and insects, which will increase its service life significantly.

Until recently, it was believed that wood is short-lived and therefore impractical. But now wooden objects can be treated with protective impregnations against decay and insects, which will increase its service life at times.

A good option is considered to be metal walls for boxes made of worn-out sieves of a sieve mill of combine harvesters. Lightweight, strong, durable with many small ventilation holes, they can be easily cut with metal scissors to the desired size. Craftsmen who have welding machine, can easily weld from scrap metal a metal frame for the growing zone of plants from pieces of sheet iron of the required thickness.

Now in hardware stores they sell a special multi-layer galvanized steel profiled sheet, with a polymer coating. Its height is 17 centimeters, and the length is different. It is convenient to make roomy boxes from it. Although its price is not cheap, considering its durability, it is profitable to buy it. From it, the walls for territories with vegetables will last a long time.

Metal fencing is easy to install.

Metal fencing is easy to install. The places for planting seeds and seedlings of vegetable plants, framed by them, look neat, beautiful (you can choose a professional sheet of different colors), practical. But iron has a serious drawback - it's good thermal conductivity. The soil near the iron sides can be heated to a critical temperature, which will oppress cultivated plants and dry out the soil. It is easy to deal with this disadvantage with the help of any available means with low thermal conductivity. It is possible to enclose metal fences from the inside with cardboard, pieces of slate, stones.

A plastic fence for planting seeds and seedlings of vegetable crops has a number of advantages. It will be lightweight, durable, frost-resistant, not afraid of sunlight, shock loads. You can buy a curb tape in a store, which has the optimal balance of stiffness, flexibility, high plasticity, due to which it can be bent at any angle. It is simply installed with your own hands, it supports well the geometry of the beds, flower beds, lawns. For stability, it is fixed with pegs driven in from both sides.

DIY plastic bottle beds

Plastic bottles are a widespread handy material. If desired, they can be easily recruited in sufficient quantities. The bottles are filled with any loose material: earth, sand, fine gravel, and then they are simply made up close in one or several rows, in a trench dug along the perimeter of the garden bed, with the neck down. From plastic bottles, you can make a permanent fence for a place with cultivated plants if they are laid horizontally on cement slurry... If plastic bottles put the bottoms out on the beds, then the border will have an original multi-colored look. With the help of rich imagination, you can realize more

Hosts who have just finished construction brick house will be able to make stationary fencing for planting sites with their own hands from the remains of bricks. The beds and flower beds framed with this building material will look like a single ensemble with a residential building. The brick can be dug in in different ways: on an edge at an angle; on the edge in a row; the first row is flat, and on top of the solution is a row by edge. A decorative brick border largely depends on the imagination of the owners of the summer cottage.

Stones in abundance can be collected anywhere: on a river, on the slopes of hills, in gravel pits. There are many options for making permanent stone curbs from stone. The easiest and most affordable way is to fill up the space between two mesh metal gratings dug along the perimeter of the box. Such a fence is called a pergon. Zucchini and tomatoes, cucumbers and beets will feel comfortable in such a stone "bag". And to others vegetable crops, which are grown in the beds, will be comfortable inside a natural, environmentally friendly, fence.

Wave slate garden fencing

Wave slate, like roofing for roofs, is already out of fashion. It is everywhere replaced with a professional sheet, different kinds shingles, soft roofing. But sheets of wave slate have become very popular with summer residents, who build durable, convenient, almost free fences and fences for vegetable growing areas from pieces. And if you decide: how to fence the beds in the country is cheap, then, perhaps, you cannot find material cheaper than the old wave slate. But first, the slate must be prepared for installation as a fence. Each sheet is marked into pieces of the desired size and sawn with a grinder. This work will not take long. The process of fencing the beds consists of the following steps:

1. Marking the boundaries of future beds using strong twine and stakes that are driven into the corners. A trench with a depth of 20-25 cm is made along the stretched cord (on the bayonet of a shovel).
2. Pieces of sawn slate of the same width are installed in the trench, leveled and slightly buried into the bottom of the trench by lightly tapping a hammer.
3. For the stability of the slate fence, stakes with a length of 0.5 m are driven in from the outside, to a depth of 30 cm. It turns out a spacious box.
4. For disinfection, the inner side of the box is treated with slaked lime.
5. The bottom of the box is lined with sawdust, dry grass and leaves. Then it is poured abundantly with water and fertile soil is poured on top.
6. Next, you need to think about protecting the slate from direct sunlight, since it heats up strongly in the sun and promotes accelerated evaporation of moisture. If possible, slate walls should be watered more often. The buried part of the slate will become an insurmountable barrier from the bear's raid.
