There are a lot of varieties of fences, and for each of them has its own decor.
Depending on the material of manufacturing, fences are:
- metal - it can be like an ordinary chain grid and professional flooring, round or square bars. The art forging refers to this same type, but not everyone can afford such a luxury. Forged gates themselves are an amazing art of art and rarely need additional decoration;
- wooden - a classic boardwalk of vertical boards bonded by horizontal planks. Wooden fences also include decorative woven, stakenat;
- stone (concrete) - reliable and durable fences that you feel protected from all adversity. However, the "boring" appearance of the stone and especially concrete just forces proceed with decoration;

Ways to decorating fences
Each type of fences have its drawbacks, and from anything a fence is built, over time it will lose its initial aesthetic qualities. If this fate has already entered your fence, we will tell you how to "revive" it and decorate with your own hands.
Vertical gardening
The most common type of decoration of fences and fences. The essence of the vertical gardening is to turn the "naked" surface of the fence into the wall overgrown with plants. For this, as a rule, use curly, clinging and false plants. Basically, these are different varieties of Lian. Liana lives due to the fact that they have to cling, and landscape designers are actively using this, decorating the fences with beautiful green stems.
As soon as Liana feels a support, it will quickly rise on a couple of dozen or even hundreds of centimeters (depending on the variety of the plant). One Lianam needs a support, others can work out perfectly without it, using special suction cups for fixing, located on the tips of the mustache (like grapes) and air roots. Such lianas can tight into any suitable surface. With their help you can quickly decorate the slope, the slope or decorate the fence from the chain.
Unfortunately, in our rather cold climate, there are not so many varieties of Lian, but among them there are very beautiful varieties. The most favorite and frost-building appearance is the girl's trial grapes. In the fall, its leaves are painted in a bright-punch color, and among them the bunches of dark purple berries can be seen.
Amur grapes are also very beautiful and gives edible fruits, though very "bony" and sour.
If you like the durning aroma of hop and his light funny shishchers, put it at the fence or gazebo, and he will quickly wipe all free space. The only drawback is that in the winter they usually freeze all shoots, and every year it needs to be treated again.
Aktinidia is another magnificent plant that can be decorated with a fence and cause a neighboring envy. The leaves of male plants in the middle of the summer are covered with purple and white specks, magically transforming your whole garden.
Also for decorating fences is suitable for a chinese, kirkazon, sodogany, cherry hydrangea, clematis and plenty roses for decoration.
Helpful advice: If you have conceived to decorate the fence of Lian, you should not wait for the first year you will get the desired result. Terrestrial development of Liana is directly related to the development of the underground part of the plant. That is, while the roots are not securely fortified and will not go deep into the soil, do not wait for lush leaves and rain flowering. Adaptation can take from year to three years, depending on the conditions of the plant content.

Plastic bottles decor

And although manufacturers persistently write on the labels "After use - throw out", we recommend that you have a couple of the top three .... Dozens, or even hundreds of bottles for decorating their fence.

Decorating with glass bottles
