Gardening is not easy! Experienced gardeners install special fences for beds, since it is easy to do it yourself from improvised means.

Fencing beds will help to immediately solve a complex of care issues

1. Prevention of erosion of garden soil during irrigation or precipitation - in this case, the advantages of installing bumpers are obvious. Precious nutrient soil will not be washed out onto the paths, creating dirty puddles and streaks.
2. The possibility of creating a base for a temporary spring greenhouse (warm bed) - when installing high sides of the fence, you can arrange a layered bed that is suitable for a greenhouse. It is convenient to install arcs for stretching the film. The finished greenhouse will be done neatly and professionally.
3. Limiting the growth of weeds - with a device for fencing the beds, the planting area is limited, which significantly reduces the spread of weeds and harmful plants. If the fencing elements of garden beds are dug in to a certain depth, then the protection of the landing area from the spread of perennial weeds increases significantly - the side of the garden bed becomes an insurmountable obstacle for them. So it is possible to limit the growth of couch grass and reeds, their root system is spreading underground for considerable distances.

Not many gardeners can boast perfect order on his garden plot, although it is not difficult to make the sides of the beds with your own hands from waste materials.

Advice. When arranging beds in the garden, it is worth observing some norms, this will help the plants develop better, reduce maintenance costs, help save time, and also allow for a higher yield.

Bed sizes ( best option) should be like this:

• Width - from 80 to 90 cm.
• Length - any (depending on the capabilities of the individual site). I would like to note that very long beds are inconvenient to maintain, especially for irrigation. Therefore, the length of garden rabatok should be limited in the range of 4-6 meters.
• Height - optimal height the side is from 10 to 15 cm.

Materials for fencing beds

Positive and negative sides of materials for fencing garden beds

metal fences- are resistant to mechanical damage, easily keep the given form. metal sheets cut with special scissors for metal, so only a person with certain master skills can do this.

For several years, strong metal sides will serve faithfully, but the terrible enemy of metal - rust, will completely destroy the fence over time. The situation is aggravated by the constant contact of the protective circuit with water. Therefore, when installing metal fences, it is necessary to provide reliable protection metal from the spread of rust, painting the finished parts of the beds with protective compounds.

The negative quality of metal fences is the strong heating of the structure under the influence of sunlight. On particularly hot summer days, the fence can heat up to +50 C.

Attention! Vegetables planted close to the side of the bed are badly burned when in contact with the fence.

Fencing beds natural wood distinguishes high environmental Safety. However wooden structures quite expensive, besides short-lived.

Contact with water and damp earth is not in vain for lumber fences. The tree is easily exposed to the development of bacterial rot and fungal infections. Even protective operations carried out before installing a wooden curb do not guarantee long-term operation.

Wooden borders are easy to paint in any color, so to create certain landscape compositions, especially if there are more in the garden wooden buildings V uniform style, the tree suits, as well as possible. It is worth remembering the fragility wooden fence for vegetable or flower beds.

Wooden fence for beds

Plastic bottles – waste material, which does not cost the gardener a dime. Bottles are installed manually, one by one - they are dug into the edge of the beds. To maintain the correct direction and parallelism of the rows, you should first outline the line with twine, pulling it over the pegs driven into the corners of the beds. The bottle fence is not durable - very often the bottles are knocked out of the row, fall on their side and are deformed. Under the influence of the sun and precipitation, the plastic acquires a muddy and dirty surface, the appearance of such a fence greatly reduces the beauty of the summer cottage.

Slate- This material is well-deservedly popular with gardeners. To fence the beds, the remains of slate are often used, which were formed after the repair work on the roof. The fence is easy to install, it is not destroyed by water, precipitation, low temperature.

rubble stone- this material perfectly complements landscape design, harmoniously fits into the arrangement of any garden. Stone frames look especially impressive on flower beds and discounts. Laying rubble stone is a laborious and long task, while the cost of the material is quite high.

Advice. It is justified to arrange garden beds framed with rubble stone in the presence of natural deposits of material.

Plastic panels- the most popular framing device option today vegetable beds. Plastic panels do not warp from excessive moisture, do not develop rot, their geometric dimensions do not change from exposure to frost, sun, snow or rain.

With their light weight, PVC panels are easy to transport. Cutting material does not require special tools and skills. During the construction of the sides of garden beds, it is allowed to use used panels.

Zinc fence

The downside of the plastic frame is the change in the density of the panel, its yellowing over time and the impact of adverse factors. Some panels begin to collapse (crumble) after a few years from exposure to frost and excessive insolation.

The low cost of PVC panels, wide availability and rich assortment make this material attractive and widely used for gardening.
