Zoning of plots is a mandatory element of landscaping a dacha plot of land. For these purposes, you can make a fence with your own hands from a variety of materials. Borders can also include paths, a cascade of flower beds and hedges. It should be noted that experts advise separating land area for the following zones: residential (10%), house adjacent (15%), recreation (5%), gardening and vegetable gardening (70%).
The variety of flower bed options makes it easy to divide the site into functional zones
Traditionally, to the main functions that are performed various types fences include:
- securing boundaries;
- protection from attacks by third parties;
- limiting direct penetration of sunlight and winds;
- ensuring privacy;
- decorative.
For a fence, you can use any available material.
For the construction of boundary fences, almost any factory or improvised materials are used.
Wood and its processing
Wood is an easily processed material available in our country. When properly processed, the natural structure serves as an independent element. Painted in . But at the same time, wooden fencing is exposed to natural phenomena, and therefore is short-lived.
Wood wins among materials for its ease of processing, naturalness and moderate low cost.
The structure requires annual maintenance (painting, preventing insects from entering). Under shock loads, the material quickly becomes unusable.
The following application options are presented:
- Garden picket fence, that is, processed, parallel installed wooden planks. can be solid or made in the form of a lattice. Can be used for a vegetable garden or recreation area.
- Plank fence. It is distinguished from a picket fence by a continuous method of fastening and the use of both edged and unprocessed boards of approximately the same width.
- Palisade One of the most ancient types of fencing. It consists of wooden stakes tightly adjacent to each other, driven into the ground. The security function is increased by sharpening the upper part of the structural elements.
- Ranch fence. It is represented by fastening timber (boards) in a horizontal plane with large openings between them. It can be made from processed blanks, but this requirement is not necessary.
- Wattle fence. Economical antique fencing that does not require financial costs. It is made by driving stakes into the ground and intertwining them with young shoots of trees and shrubs. or vines can become the highlight of the outdoor decor of the site.
Wood coating protective compounds allows you to preserve the structure of this raw material for many years
To avoid premature aging of wood and its corrosion, be sure to treat it with special compounds or paint the finished structure.
Metal and its derivatives
Metal products are in second place in demand in the manufacture of various fences.
Metal fencing greatly benefits from its practicality and long service life.
They are used to produce beautiful designs, very different in price and aesthetic perception, such as:
- (corrugated sheeting) – easy to install metal product, with a service life of at least 50 years. Produced in a variety of colors. However, its appearance is simple, and the product is subject to deformation.
- . It does not limit the penetration of sunlight into the selected area, but also does not protect from the wind. It is made from metal in several designs: chain-link, corrugated, . The chain-link is distinguished from the corrugated weaving method; the second creates a more static plane, for fixing which the distance between the supports can be 5 meters, while with the first - no more than 3 m. Positive characteristics complements the possibility of using a mesh fence as a base for the growth of climbing plants.
- Welded multi-element structure. A huge number of metal decorative elements can be purchased at hardware stores. At home, they are complemented by products made from metal picket fences or poles. The process is labor-intensive and requires preliminary calculation, and when performing - welding skills. Made for the garden with your own hands, it will bring great aesthetic satisfaction.
- Forged products are the elite in the world of fences. They are divided into utilitarian, cold forged, decorative (in most cases they are made to order) and combined. Small will emphasize good taste owner.
Forged products emphasize the sophistication of style
Stone and plastic
No less common are fences made from the following materials:
- neatly executed low brickwork serves as an excellent fence, and its types (clinker, red, silicate) allow it to fit into any design solution decoration of the courtyard;
- natural stone is one of the most durable materials, not exposed to the effects of water and sun, but its uneven contours present some inconvenience when constructing a fence made of stones, and are also unsafe for small children;
- metal mesh with natural or natural filler as a border looks impressive - they are voluminous and impressive, installation is simple, but requires time for stone filling;
- the use of eight- or five-wave slate simplifies the task of installing a level fence several times, while installation takes little time, but the material is fragile and dangerous.
Due to their light weight, such fences can be moved to a place of your choice without much difficulty.
The cheapest in cost, but not of aesthetic value, is a series of fences that use improvised means and materials (tires, etc.). Design options are limited only by the imagination of the owner of the farmstead, and the use of broken equipment as separate flower beds, for example a broken wheelbarrow, will make the interior exclusive.
Using tires as a fence for a flower garden allows you to save a lot of money
Do it yourself
Before implementing your plan, you should decide whether the fence will be permanent, or over time it will have to be moved due to a change in the layout of the site.
Scheme for creating a flowerbed yourself
If the final decision has not been made, then it seems reasonable to assemble decorative fences with your own hands.
For flower beds
One of the options for a quickly erected and no less quickly dismantled low fence is represented by a mini picket fence for flowers. You need planks that are 20–30 cm larger than the height of the fence wall (for immersion in the ground), as well as crossbars. The structure is assembled in sections, which can represent the whole side of the fence or part of it.
Options for future fence sketches
The work is carried out in the following order:
- On a flat piece of land, crossbars are placed at a distance equal to 1/4 of the height of the fence on each side. Fix the position with the outermost boards of the fence. As stated earlier, they must be longer than the others in order to sink into the ground.
- At equal distances, fixed by preliminary markings, the section is filled with planks. Pay special attention to the same height of each structural element. Fastening is done with nails or self-tapping screws of the required size.
- Install the section level in a strictly vertical position. Alternating blows of the mallet on the support boards, the structure is gradually immersed in the ground. To avoid premature rotting of the formed canvas, it is recommended to leave a few centimeters before direct contact with the ground.

In order for the support posts to last a long time, the parts immersed in the ground are treated with antiseptic materials, fuel oil or bitumen.

Complete harmony of the entire area
A common option that combines reliable design and reasonable price is a solid fence made of metal mesh. To make it you will need a metalworking tool, welding machine and the ability to use them.
Calculate the required amount of material taking into account the following:
- the length of the post consists of a ground part equal to the width of the mesh, a distance from the ground (5–10 cm), and a part installed in the ground to a depth of 35–45 cm, having a square section of 30x30x1.8 mm;
- the pillars are installed at intervals of 1.5–2 m, and the required number is obtained by dividing the perimeter of the fenced area by the distance between the pillars;
- a mesh 1 m wide is purchased in quantities equal to the length of the perimeter, while the factory packaging includes 10 m;
- the total length of the corner is equal to two perimeters of the enclosed area, the shelves are 30x30x1.8 mm;
- rod for attaching a mesh with a diameter of 8–10 mm.
Option for designing a flower bed made of mesh
Step-by-step instructions for construction and installation are as follows:
- Using measuring instruments, posts and a cord, mark the area and determine the installation location.
- In marked places, dig holes to a depth of 35–45 cm to the diameter of a drill or shovel.
- Disband square pipe to the required measuring areas. To avoid corrosion when in contact with the ground, their lower part should be coated with bitumen.
- Install the pipe into the hole in a strictly vertical position. Temporary fixation is performed. Fill the hole with concrete mortar mixed in a ratio of 1:2:3, where the first is cement, the second is sand, and the third is filler (crushed stone or other).
- After the concrete that secures the pillars has dried, a corner is welded along the upper edge of the pillars and a counter one at the bottom, with a small distance from the ground (5–10 cm).
- The structure is primed and painted in the preferred color.
- Prepare the mesh for installation. For these purposes, the roll is unwound on a flat area and the loose side joints of the mesh are put in order. She is reeled in again.
- Then the mesh is attached between the corner shelves using a rod, welded at small intervals in pieces of 10 cm.
Stage of arrangement of holes for pillars
To care for the front garden, a fence a little more than a meter high must be supplemented with a gate. It is made in the same way as the main fence.
Decorative fence
Do-it-yourself decorative children's fences are assembled from a material from which the likelihood of injury is minimal. As a rule, to make a decorative fence in kindergarten, use prefabricated structures on polymer based or with .
The use of plastic fencing significantly increases safety
Such decorative fences are characterized by high level environmental safety, exceptional strength, resistance to moisture, temperature fluctuations, low maintenance requirements and simple installation.
For self-installation For a sectional garden, fasteners and decorative elements are purchased. Calculation required quantity produced to production standards. The most common sections are those with a height of 71 cm and a width of 122 or 130 cm by 244 cm.
One of the options for installing a plastic fence
Their undoubted advantages include sufficient dimensions and the inability to injure a child. They have two installation options, where the first is represented by a T-shaped ground support, installed on any site without rigid fastening, the second - with the supports immersed in the ground.
One of the options for a plastic fence for a flower garden
It should be noted that different manufacturers vary the dimensions and installation method at their discretion. So, in in some cases it is necessary to concrete support pillars with a diameter of 89 mm, on which guides should be mounted, and only then the structural elements should be inserted into the grooves. The options can be seen in the photos posted on the manufacturers' websites.
Concrete
Actually in casting concrete fence and installing it yourself is not difficult. It is only at first glance that it seems that only a professional can handle this. But in fact, all you need is some tools and skillful hands.
Concrete fences due to development modern technologies no longer look like a gloomy decoration of the perimeter of some government building. It is because of this that for a long time they were not recognized as decorative element. However, today there are many ways to liven up a boring gray material, give it a certain texture. To do this, you can use special molds for casting or decorative panels. In general, it is not necessary to decorate both sides of the fence with voluminous details. If you are completely satisfied with one, the outer side, use the molds and paint the inside.
Concrete fence
The presence of a foundation depends on the height of the fence. As a rule, one section is 2 meters long and 50 cm wide. Three-panel fences do not need additional reinforcement, but four-panel fences need to be placed on a solid foundation. The top one can be decorated with forged elements or some other pattern, for example, made in the form of a series of small columns.
In order to cast a concrete panel, you will need molds, a metal frame, a vibrating table (for compacting the material), a small concrete mixer and a surface on which the blocks will dry. All this can be purchased at garden tool stores or specialized warehouses. Concrete is poured into a mold, which is placed on a vibrating table. This way the mixture is better distributed throughout it and possible voids are filled. Then the resulting slab must be removed from the mold and laid out to dry. They are fastened between two columns located at an appropriate distance and having special grooves where the blocks are placed. The columns are buried in the ground, the depth depends on their height and the height of the future fence.
Cladding panels are good option decor of concrete fencing. They will be an excellent alternative to a mold for casting, and in this case there are more options and they are more varied.
From blocks
In addition to concrete, you can make a fence from blocks. They can be an imitation of stone or consist of raw clay. This fence is moisture resistant and very durable. But it’s practically impossible to do without a foundation.
block fence The construction of a fence from blocks is rarely done without the involvement of builders and the use of special equipment. In any case, this includes casting the foundation, installing blocks on top of each other and fastening them together using special solutions. Sometimes metal reinforcement is used to secure the structure. It is most widely used when constructing a fence from blocks with voids. This gives it extra strength and stability.
Between the blocks, as in the construction of a concrete fence, columns are placed, also fixing the sections in place. And the tools are basically the same: a vibrating table (or just a leveler), a surface for drying and a concrete mixer for mixing building material. And the casting process itself is not very different from the concrete version.
Metal
The installation of a metal fence can be done without special construction education. Typically, its installation requires metal supports, cross bars, sheets for the main part and material to secure the supports. Tools should include a screwdriver and, ideally, a welding machine.
metal fence Supports can be secured in several ways. But the first thing you need is to dig holes for them about 50 centimeters deep and 20-30 centimeters in diameter. The supports are installed in these holes and subsequently filled with concrete. If the latter is missing, they can simply be driven into the ground to approximately the same depth.
Once the supports are secured, begin attaching crossbars or joists to them. As a rule, two pieces are enough: one on top, the other on bottom. But if the fence is higher than usual, you can add as many logs as necessary.
Sheets of corrugated sheets are screwed to these joists using a drill and screwdriver. Place the fastening elements at an equal distance, this will distribute the load evenly. That's the whole simple system. You can paint such a fence in any color, and even paint entire pictures on it.
Wooden
Making a wooden fence is the least labor-intensive and cost-intensive way to fence your territory. To install it, you will not need any additional tools other than a hammer, screwdriver and nails (bolts). You can also use poured concrete as a base, or you can drive demarcation stakes into the ground to a depth of about 50 centimeters.
wooden fence After the markings around the perimeter of the site have been made and the foundations have been driven in, the attachment of the crossbars begins. Their number also depends on the height of the fence, as during construction metal fence. And after that it’s time to adjust the picket fence itself. And here a lot depends on your preferences. Do you want nothing to be seen through the fence? Nail the boards close to each other. If you are absolutely open to your neighbors, you can leave gaps between the pickets of the width you need. The shapes at the ends of the picket fence can be completely different: cone-shaped, with curls and monograms - it all depends on your imagination.
Before installing the fence, pay close attention to the material. It is advisable to give preference to those types of wood that are moisture resistant and generally not affected by weather changes. Larch, for example, is perfect. In addition, decide for yourself whether you can process the wood yourself or give preference to ready-made material. This will significantly affect the price: untreated wood will be much cheaper.
