A bed from a tree - simply and effectively

If you need a partition in the garden, but there is no way to purchase materials, you can use the tools at hand. For example, tree branches are easy to get on any suburban area. And an excellent bed can turn out of them.

Materials and tools:
1. Branches, the thickness of which is 10-50 mm
2. Branches under the pillars 100-150 mm thick
3. Boards with a format of 100x50 mm, which will support the design.
4. Shovel
5. Saw
6. thread
7. Garden shears
8. Bolts
9. Soil

Operating procedure:
The first step is to determine the size of the partition based on the estimated height. The universal option is 1 m, that is, approximately to the waist. Next should be stocked with a sufficient number of branches. If the bed will be built next to the fence, it is necessary to put polyethylene next to it to prevent decay of the fence.

After the preparatory phase, you can begin to dig holes under the support branches. They should be located at equal distance from each other. As for the quantity, you will need at least 3 supports - two in the corners and one in the middle. It is better to make a hole deeper. For example, if the height of the fence is planned meter, then the depth of the pit will be the same. Therefore, at a meter height of the fence, the support stick should be about 2 meters. In addition, a small margin is needed to level the structure. Another requirement is the evenness of the stick. They are placed in excavated pits, after which the pits are filled up and densely compacted.

Now you can adjust the height. It is best to use a thread for this, which will create a straight line. Excess pieces are cut with garden clippers.

After that, holes are cut out in the posts for placement of transverse boards in them. They will keep the design. If the thickness of the boards is 100x50 mm, then the recesses are needed appropriate. It is best to do them with a saw. For structural strength, it is recommended to bolt the boards. Before this, you need to make sure that the screw is long enough to pass through the pole and timber.

The next stage is the excavation of a trench between the bearing pillars. It is recommended to make it about 200 mm in depth and the same in width. Such indicators are calculated taking into account that the wall does not fall when the soil is loaded on the other side of the partition. The branches in such a trench are placed as densely as possible, while it is important to avoid spaces.When the trench from one pillar to another is filled, you need to fill it with earth - thanks to this, the branches will not stagger.

Now the branches are cut so that they are on the same level with the crossbar. If the branches are loose in the ground and there are gaps, at this stage you can insert additional ones. For convenience, it is recommended to use a hammer - then they are installed most firmly.

The fence is ready. If it is installed properly, you can fill the space inside with soil.

That's all - a simple but no less beautiful garden is ready! Materials and tools for its manufacture can be found without difficulty, a little time will be spent, but the result will certainly please any summer resident.

Installed in his country house such an original garden. There are no problems with watering, since the earth was previously wrapped with oilcloth. It looks quite impressive. For me, this is the perfect place to plant tulips or roses. Woody color matches their large and bright buds. Although you can also try to plant something useful there, for example strawberries.
I was very surprised by such a bed. Indeed, old branches are not needed and this is a great way to combine two things. Only now I, most likely, made in this way not a bed, but flower beds for flowers. Excess water will drain down into the ground, and what is needed will be taken by the flowers. In my opinion, a fairly simple solution, and very original.
Indeed, simple and spectacular. But as for efficiency, one can argue - moisture will leave the “elevated” beds too quickly. It is likely that the harvest from the "beautiful" beds will not live up to your expectations ...
About how you can do it. And we always walk around our yard and look for old and unnecessary boards for anyone, from which we later build small fences for our beds. It doesn’t always work out exactly, but I’m afraid that nothing will work with the branches. Where to get such neat and even branches? Look for them even longer than the old boards. But the idea is sweet.
For us, wood (branches) as a material is not acceptable, there is a lot of trouble with it, and as a result, the bed will not be durable. We use inverted plastic bottles of 1.5 or 2 liters, or pieces of slate, at our dacha.
And how to prevent the earth from waking up through the fence and not water leaking after irrigation? It is not very good if there is a constant dirty mess around the garden. If you close up with a black film, the mold will not start inside the bed?
The idea is very original and it turns out beautifully. Just not very durable - because of the dampness and contact with the ground, there will not be enough branches for a long time. To extend their service life, they can be treated with drying oil or just lightly burned in a fire. This will slow down the decay of the branches and frame of the structure, although it will take additional time to build the partition.
Few people use such high ridges on their sites. After all, in order to get to the middle or the opposite edge of the ridge (to dig up, loosen, tie up plants, harvest), you have to stand on the edge of the ridge.The branches will support the weight of the person where they are. And you step inside - you can fail. The idea is not very practical.
