Today strict brick fences and practical fencing from corrugated board can be seen at almost every home. But many want something unusual and natural. Therefore, consider the question how to make a fence from a vine do it yourself, you can’t imagine anything more natural and harmonious for the countryside.

To create a fence made of twigs, we need rods and stakes. Most suitable willow or hazel vines. If there are no such plants nearby, then branches of fruit trees, cut down, will do, they can be stored for a long time. So that the branches are flexible and suitable for weaving, they must be well soaked.

Of course, metal poles can also be used, but this is expensive and does not quite correspond to the general concept of this type of fence. To keep the stakes longer, it is better to replace the soil in the pit with sand in the places of their installation.

Weave a fence, starting from the bottom row. The thin part of the branch should wrap around the stake, so that the “eight” turns out.
