When buying, you need to choose a specific width of the material based on the plants that are planted on the territory: the higher they are, the wider they should be curb tape.

Note! As for the density, it is better to give preference to the plastic whose axis of rigidity runs along the upper edge.

This material makes it easy to construct land structures of various shapes and sizes. It is also worth noting that the tapes are divided into several groups according to texture and color (corrugated, wavy, etc.). On the practical side of the application, these parameters do not affect in any way, however, they play a very important role in terms of decorativeness.

Ways to use curb tapes

1. Products with a width of less than 10 cm can be used to limit the construction bulk paths. Such tapes allow you to build tracks of any shape and prevent the material from spilling.
2. Wider fences (up to 25 cm) are used for beds, especially sloping ones - so moisture will be kept in the desired area, and not spread beyond its - area - limits.
3. With the help of tapes up to 30 cm wide, bushes and grasses are fenced off, which multiply by root processes.

Also, such fences can be used for complete sealing of greenhouses. To do this, the tape is placed around the entire perimeter of the greenhouse, so that pests and weeds do not penetrate into it.

In addition, with the help of tapes are protected decorative flower beds(including multi-tiered ones), small artificial reservoirs, fruit trees, seedlings, paths. Finally, products of maximum width are used when creating compost pits.

How to install curb tape

The installation procedure, as noted above, is not difficult. The main working material is the tape itself. For the cut, you will need scissors, and for fastening - liquid nails or a soldering iron. It is advisable to work with an assistant.

First, a trench under the curb is dug along the perimeter of the bed (the depth depends on the specific width of the fence). To protect plants from the cold, it is desirable that the tape be wide. The borders are equipped with plastic pegs that need to be dug in at the corners, as well as around the perimeter with the step specified in the instructions, and then pull the tape itself between them. After that, the trench is covered with earth. As you can see, everything is extremely simple.

The rest of the material must be rolled up and placed in a dry place - it may still come in handy. With the onset of winter, it is advisable to cover the border with something so that it does not lose its appearance. You can’t step on the fence - it may not withstand the weight and crack.

Reasons for the popularity of plastic fencing

When forming flower beds or flower beds, various improvised materials were previously used, such as brick or wood. Moreover, the first material was most often used to decorate flower beds, and the second - for beds. The wooden fence of the beds has become obsolete, it is short-lived, over time, the boards dried up, cracked, under the influence of precipitation, the moisture content of the wood increased, which caused favorable conditions for the development of fungus and mold.

Wooden fences are not always aesthetically pleasing and durable

Durable, plastic fences for beds do not have such disadvantages. Benefits include:

Thermal stability. Plastic easily tolerates both low temperature conditions in winter and high in summer.

High strength. The fence keeps its shape well, preventing the soil from going beyond the beds.

Harmlessness. Plastic is artificial material, it does not pollute the environment, as it does not contain harmful toxic substances.

security from destruction by mold, fungus or insects.

Color fastness. The color of the panels does not change under the influence of temperatures and sun exposure.

Ease of installation and care. Installation of plastic fences does not require special skills. The plastic is easy to clean, just spray the panel with a pressure of water from a hose.

low cost.

Thanks to these advantages, the plastic garden bed board is recognized as practical and durable material, and flowerbeds and beds can now take on the most unusual forms of various heights and colors. To get high beds from plastic panels, buy a panel that is sufficiently appropriate in height; specialized stores offer several size options.

Which material will be better and cheaper

Fences for beds, depending on the material used, can have a variety of shapes and sizes, and the color scheme will allow you to choose the material for any existing interior.

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)

The advantages of this material have allowed PVC fences to be widely used. Curb tapes, plastic boards, nets, flexible fences are made from PVC. Such products have sufficient rigidity to maintain the required shape and height of the beds. Some of them, for example, a garden board or a garden designer, are used to create sandboxes and playgrounds, plastic mesh has found application in fencing construction and repair areas and sports complexes.

Fencing for beds made of PVC is much cheaper than metal structures, while not inferior to them. They are also durable, because during operation they are not susceptible to corrosion and do not fade under the influence of direct sunlight.

Example high fence PVC

On our website you can find contacts construction companies who offer . You can directly communicate with representatives by visiting the exhibition of houses "Low-Rise Country".

Polycarbonate

The material has been widely used in the construction of greenhouses and greenhouses, it can also be used in the formation of beds, both in open areas and inside greenhouses.

The advantages include high mechanical strength and impact resistance, the ability to withstand high temperatures environment. Using thinner sheets of polycarbonate, you can form round or oval beds, a denser material may burst when bent. Polycarbonate has several colors, but the color is very afraid of sunlight, after 1.5-2 years of use, the color becomes dull.

Also, weak frost resistance can be attributed to the minuses: over time, under the influence of low temperatures, the material becomes more brittle, and can collapse even from a weak impact.

metal-plastic

Fences made of metal-plastic are durable steel frames coated with a layer of zinc and a polymer to protect the metal from corrosion. The size of the panels can be chosen for any bed, the only drawback of such material is the inability to form rounded shapes. This minus is compensated by the alternative of obtaining early harvest, since, being a good conductor of heat, metal fence quickly warms up the soil in the spring, which contributes to the early planting of seedlings and rapid growth plants.

Metal fences do not need to be removed from the beds for the winter, which saves time in the spring for re-dividing the crop zones.

Metal-plastic fences are strong, reliable and durable
