Another job of fencing for flower beds, raised above the ground. They should hold the edge of the flower bed so the soil was sprinkled. In this case, the lightweight design will not help because they themselves need to be strengthened, in order not swayed from the wind. For such purposes it is better to choose stone, brick, concrete or glass bottles of fencing that are easy to install with their hands, ideal for beds of any geometry and height.
Another problem, which can solve the fence – lock the roots of perennials. There are plants, for example ferns, whose roots are so spread beyond the flower bed that they have to stop in time. For this there are protective plastic tape, which is buried at depth 2/3 deep into the soil and there build an impenetrable wall.
