With this arrangement, you can recreate a more solid plastic construction. As a rule, cement mortar is used for fastening, and for the base (if the flowerbed is planned to be round) - an old tire (for more information on how to decorate a garden with old car tires, you can read here).

A horizontal decorative fence for plastic flower beds can be made as follows:

1. Prepare the material - choose a container of the same size. Clean it from dust and dirt, dry thoroughly.
2. Mix the cement (it is recommended to mix cement and sand in a ratio of 2 to 1). Make sure that the cement mass is thick enough, because the quality of the future fastening depends on this.
3. Start laying the fence. First of all, apply cement to the base of the structure - the tire. Then decide which part of the bottles you want to see on the front side (necks or bottoms). With the plug, start laying on the side of the bottle that you like. The fence should be staggered.

Note! The height of the horizontal plastic fence for flower beds depends on your desires - you can make a low fence from several layers of containers, or a high one.

Vertical arrangement

The simplest, most understandable and convenient option for a fence is to arrange plastic bottles in a vertical position. You can make a structure according to the following scheme:

1. Also, as in the first case, bottles must be prepared - pick up vessels of the same size, wash and dry them.
2. Mark a place on the site for a vertical fence and dig a small neat trench (choose the shape to your taste, even oval or round, even square). The recommended trench depth is ten centimeters. But the width should be equal to the thickness of the container.
3. Place the container in the ground. Install containers as tightly as possible to each other. The decorative structure must be stable and not wobbly.

Advice! To make the design of a decorative plastic fence for flower beds more reliable, it makes sense to fill the containers with earth, pebbles or sand.
