How to choose and use a decorative plastic garden fence

In terms of functional and aesthetic characteristics, decorative fence for plastic beds wins competition with traditional wood counterparts. The material is not affected by pathogenic microflora, looks presentable, and is easy to assemble. When building beds and flower beds, PVC panels, flexible curbs, garden constructors, original solutions from PET bottles are in demand. The popularity of polymer enclosing structures in the country exterior is due not only to the durability of the material.

Features of plastic fences for garden beds

The trend towards a progressive version of garden design with polymer solutions is associated with an impeccable operational resource of products:

• decorative fences for beds and flower beds made of plastic are resistant to atmospheric loads, do not deform under the influence of moisture and ultraviolet radiation, are inert to seasonal changes in ambient temperature;
• polymer boxes and curbs are designed to protect fertile soil from crumbling and leaching, they serve as a barrier against weeds;
• structures are distinguished by their aesthetic appearance, organically fit into landscape compositions;
• caring for a polymer fence consists in periodically cleaning it from dirt, it is enough to direct a stream of water from a hose;
• installation of a box for beds made of plastic panels does not require special knowledge, skills and tools, as well as dismantling the structure.

Models of PVC fences are able to imitate natural wood, stone, brickwork, openwork weaving, have smooth and embossed surfaces.

Decorative fence for plastic beds: types, characteristics, application

On the profile market, there are various types of structures for fencing flower beds and areas with horticultural crops.

Curb tape

Flexible roll products can be used to shape the embankment into any shape.

Depending on the width of the model, a tape border for plastic beds is used when arranging objects of various types:

• when forming a vegetable ridge of an inclined type, models with a width of 25-50 cm are used;
• modifications with a minimum width - from 10 cm - are used in the design of flower beds and flower beds;
• a plastic tape border can be used as a limiter for the peri-stem space of garden shrubs and trees.

The curb tape is also in demand when arranging alpine slides, rockeries, multi-tiered structures for the cultivation of spicy greens and annual flower crops.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Ribbon Curb

Flexible frame material has a high operational potential:

• as a reliable edging protects the fertile layer from erosion;
• due to the pliability of the structure, the curb tape allows you to create asymmetric structures and give the flower bed unusual shapes;
• to install the frame strip, you just need to form a recess with a shovel along the marking line, pull and fix the material with stakes.

The thickness of the curb tape varies in the range of 0.5-2 cm. The most durable models are considered, the stiffness axis of which runs along the upper perimeter. Modifications are produced flat, corrugated, wavy.There are also embossed variations of flexible curb and curly trim models.

Garden board

The basis of the product is wood-composite plastic. The panel 15 cm high and up to 3 m long belongs to rigid types of fences. In the manufacture, sawdust and a polymer component of polyethylene, polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride are used. Modifications from PVC are considered the most durable. Low-cost solutions based on polyethylene are not distinguished by high wear resistance.

The ends of the garden board are equipped with a special mount. The set includes decorative plugs and plastic stakes for mounting. Following the manufacturer's instructions, it is easy to assemble a collapsible bed from plastic panels with your own hands.

Advantages and disadvantages of a garden board

Composite material combines the best qualities of wood and plastic:

• characterized by resistance to pathogenic microorganisms, does not rot, is not afraid of the population of insect pests;
• the material does not need additional processing during the period of operation, provides for a long service life while maintaining the original aesthetics;
• the garden board box is a collapsible plastic structure that can be assembled and dismantled many times;
• a PVC mesh can be pulled onto the finished frame as a support for tall plants and lianous crops;
• Due to its exceptional strength, the garden board is suitable for fencing in dense or shaky soil, for erecting high beds and multi-level terraces for growing garden and flower crops.

The big disadvantage is that the garden board is sold in a relatively expensive segment. It is also important to take into account that the composite material is not designed for operation in wetlands.

Application features:

• the model is ideal for fencing vegetable beds, suitable for decorating multi-tiered compositions;
• boxes made of polymer boards are in demand when arranging greenhouses and hotbeds;
• you can build high beds from plastic panels by connecting several rows of boards.

A box made of a garden board is easy to disassemble and assemble in another place, change the format, increasing or decreasing the number of panels in the composition.

Garden constructor

A polymer fence made of prefabricated elements - a garden constructor - allows you to realize interesting ideas for the functional decor of the site. The parts are equipped with a lock-groove fastening, when the required number of units are connected, a one-piece side is formed to fence the garden bed. The curb-constructor has a light weight, suitable for working on any soil.

With the help of a plastic garden constructor, it is easy to create boxes of various sizes and configurations. The material is used in the design of miniature flower beds and endless borders around the perimeter of a garden path or lawn. From prefabricated elements, you can construct nice beds of different shapes and multi-tiered flower beds, use them when arranging a rock garden and other landscape compositions.

Due to the decorative potential, versatility and simplicity of design, collapsible plastic beds are in demand when arranging a garden plot and a local area.

Plastic decorative fences

Unlike a garden board with a smooth surface, decorative fences for plastic beds are textured material and imitate:

• stone and flagstone;
• brickwork;
• wrought iron fence;
• wattle wicker and twigs;
• wooden picket fence.

When decorating garden beds, the priority is solid models, which are capable of protecting the soil from creeping. Hole, openwork and lattice patterns are in demand for zoning, as decorative fences and sidewalk curbs.

Original borders made of plastic

When planning a functional decor for a planting site for garden crops, you can use available polymeric materials, including:

1. PVC finishing panels. This is a convenient and profitable option for the disposal of construction residues. Models are ideal for outdoor cladding due to their high strength and wear resistance.
2. Plastic window sills. You can reuse old plastic surfaces, both standard white and colored, "wood-like" or imitating stone.
3. Plastic boxes. With the help of containers, you can make vertical and horizontal flower beds, all kinds of configurations of beds, including tall ones, and mobile versions on casters.
4. PET bottles. The use of junk material helps to save budget. At the same time, it is extremely simple to make a fence for a garden bed from plastic bottles with your own hands, even for an amateur.

Original boxes from available resources are obtained non-collapsible, as in the case of finishing panels and window sills, and collapsible, if boxes and PET bottles are used.

How to make a bed of plastic panels with your own hands

The sequence and nuances of creating a border from a polymer base:

1. It is necessary to mark the place for the garden, prepare the required amount of consumables.
2. Cut plastic bases to size, prepare supports. The length of the posts is equal to the width of the panel +20 cm for driving into the ground.
3. Prepared polymer boards should be fastened to the corners, fixed on the supporting posts.
4. After assembling the frame from plastic panels, transfer it to the installation site, deepen the supports into the ground.

For reliable fixation of the box, it is necessary to set intermediate posts-pegs, attaching panels to them with self-tapping screws.

Do-it-yourself flower beds and beds from plastic bottles

A nice version of the fence is obtained from PET bottles volume of 1.5 liters. Waste material, lightweight and easy to install. To compensate for the insufficient mechanical strength of the product, you just need to fill the specimens with sand or garden soil. Next, you should dig a trench around the perimeter of the planned flower bed, set the bottles tightly with the neck down, fix it with earth. At the final stage, you can paint the original bottle frame with an attractive paint and varnish composition.

Due to its unique characteristics, plastic decorative fences are gradually replacing traditional counterparts from sawn timber. At the same time, the base organically fits into the green landscape, as it is able to imitate natural textures.
