Stages of construction

First you need to make a calculation of the area under the fence and see how many vine willow, hazel twigs, or boards you need for the erection of the structure.

In the absence of this kind of trees on site or nearby, you can use any other wood, but still better to try to find this timber, asit is easier to work with, and the appearance of the fence will be better.

Rods under the fence should be chosen, focusing on the number of twists - the more they are intended, the thinner must be twigs.

to "body" of the vine has become more flexible, soak them first in water - it will improve the circulation of sap in the tree, so that the rods will be better entwine with each other.

If several bends will need, it is not just soak it, and make a steam bath - then twigs and vines razopreyut will bend completely free.Selection

step also depends on the thickness of the bars, as well as the location of the fence idea.The bars to accommodate a fence is necessary to place at a distance no closer than 1.5 meters apart, vertically driven into the ground.

to construction was more sustainable, it can not be used wooden beams and metal structures or tube - in this case, the fence will serve you longer.

Vine willow or other branches have to pass through from different sides stake - as is the horizontal weave.To make it vertical, vines need to pass through around the poles.

This type is somewhat more complicated, but will in due course more attractive, becausethe plant can eventually grow into the earth, and then you get a hedge.

fence boards can also be designed as a vertical and horizontal type of weaving.

for its fixation in each bay to install two boards of small width.Fasten them horizontally, vertical if planned weaving and vertical if on the contrary.

begin work must be from the post, moving to the center.The resulting structure of the boards better be secured by screws or nails.The very top board can be simply nailed to the support - it also adds stability of the fence.
