During these weeks, you can transform your balcony and patio into a blooming oasis in no time at all, because summer flowers, Perennials or roses in pots don't cost much. The practical ones, but less attractive plastic pots disappear behind the quickly built little fences.
Bamboo staff: thick and thin
Saw bamboo sticks of different thicknesses to roughly the same length. The twine, with which the sticks are knotted at the top and bottom, must be at least three times the length of the fence. Place the first stick on the middle of the threads and tie it tight. Then put the second one next to it, tie the knots behind them again and so on to the end.
natural wood: How grown
The branch pieces are connected to each other in a similar way to the bamboo sticks. Instead of twine, however, thin binding wire is used here, which is twisted a few times behind each wood, so that the branch is stuck. If you leave wire hanging out at the end of the fence, you can tie the mat of branches together into a cylinder. It stands securely and becomes a cover for individual pots or tubs. It is also practical for the bamboo mat, to measure the twine so long, enough to tie the mat together.
Afford: Triangular or round
Big or small: Fence building always works the same way. Cut strips to the desired length as crossbars, lay them parallel on the worktop and glue the fence slats (here triangular strips or round rods) with waterproof glue. After drying, turn the fence panel and additionally fasten the slats with thin pins; this is particularly useful for the round rods, because they have less surface area.
slats: With hole pattern
The perforated fence slats are fastened in the same way as the triangular strips and round bars. To make the lace pattern, clamp several strips together with the clamp, draw a line, so that the holes line up and drill them out with the Forstner bit. Place the drill tip exactly between two strips, then an even pattern emerges, as can be seen by the blue fence. Forstner bits of different sizes were used for the pattern in the yellow fence and the holes were randomly distributed.
