Decorative fence with own hands

Today many city people take a plot outside the city and build houses. It can be both a residential house and a summer cottage. But any dwelling remains incomplete, not only without ennobling the plot, but also without a fence. And if you can invite specialists to build a house, you can make a fence yourself. But for this it is necessary to decide what it should be.

Selection of the material

One of the options is to make a decorative fence with your own hands, for the construction of which you can use different materials. He will serve not only as a protection against unwelcome guests, but also as a decoration. Today, an ordinary fence no one is surprised, and using a decorative fence, as in the photo, you can not only surprise neighbors and passers-by, but also make a more cozy corner around the house.

Many people are thinking about how to make a decorative fence, and what material should I choose for this? There are many options, it is only necessary to connect your imagination. For this you can take a variety of materials: boards and bricks, stones or bars. You can even use glass and plastic bottles. Moreover, you can create a decorative fence for the dacha both in the form of an external fence, and for delineating internal areas.

Perhaps the most original variant is a decorative fence made of twigs or vines. Such fences were built for a long time, why not return to using this material again? In order to make such a decorative fence with your own hands, you need to prepare the following materials:

• stakes( preferably oak);
• lats or beams;
• thin rods( one-year-olds from willows or vines are best suited);
• ax, hammer and antiseptic.

Construction of a decorative fence

Below there are photos of a decorative fence made by own hands, having familiarized with which it is possible to have an idea what kind this fence should have. In the event that in the process of independent construction of such a weaving there will be difficulties, then you can see the video that is available at the bottom of the article.

It is necessary to cut the rods with a sharp knife, which should be well roasted in water. This is done to make them more flexible. In water, they must be a day, and only after that they can be used for weaving. All the poles are treated with an antiseptic so that they can stand in the ground for as long as possible. You can use both vertical and horizontal way of weaving. For example, the fencing from the street can be done with the help of vertical weaving, and then it will resemble an ordinary fence. And in a horizontal way it is possible to enclose a plot or a passage to the house inside the courtyard. But for vertical weaving you need the armor between the stakes.

With vertical braiding, the posts are fixed at a distance of 2 meters from each other, and 3 bars are attached between them. And after that, between the uneven bars, the vine alternates in turn: first before the upper beam, then behind the middle beam, and again in front of the bar. The next vine is in the reverse order. And so on until the end of the fence. In the end we get a decorative fence, as in the photo.

If it is necessary to make a decorative fence for the flowerbed with your own hands, then we can use the horizontal method of weaving. In this case, low bars are hammered to the ground at a distance of about 1 meter from each other, and the vine is woven in the same way, but only in horizontal order. The vine alternates: then in front of the column, then from behind. And the next row is in the reverse order. If necessary, it is possible to compact the already twisted rods with a wooden hammer.
