A privacy screen made of natural materials can be braided easily
Braiding a privacy screen made of natural materials
Many garden owners or balcony gardeners perceive a screen made of plastic-like material as a veritable aesthetic disturbance factor within the well-kept garden idyll. Uncomplicated and at the same time extremely decorative variants of a natural screen can be created by the creative and artistic braiding with Steckwölzern or already dead branches.
Braid a screen from cut branches and branches
If a privacy screen is to be woven from natural materials, then the question arises first of all, whether it is a fence connected to the ground in situ or a mobile screen element. In any case, the cut material of hazelnut shrubs and other high-growth garden plants can be more easily and flexibly woven into a screen element, the fresher they are processed directly after the cut. For the creation of a border around a farmer's garden or a privacy screen next to a terrace, you can put long, straight branches directly in a row and with a distance of about 5 to 10 cm into the ground. Next, braid thinner twigs in a horizontal direction between the branches projecting vertically out of the ground so that a closed screen wall gradually emerges.
Bamboo and reeds as braiding material
Many species of reeds are completely cut back to near the ground every spring. Even some bamboo species show growth in old age, which produces large amounts of cutting material annually. Due to their straight growth form, these cut stalks are even easier to use for braiding screens than many other branches of shrubs and trees. The regular shape also makes it possible to make complete screens made of reed and bamboo stalks by connecting the individual stalks with interwoven wire loops at two different heights.
Dead or alive an eye-catcher: woven willow branches
The willow branches, which are known to grow extremely easily, are very popular when it comes to the cost-effective and uncomplicated creation of creatively designed playgrounds for children in the garden. The willow twigs, which can easily be wakened in place, can not only be formed into a tepee or labyrinth, but can also be used to cleverly weave diagonal twigs to create living privacy fences. The branches should be:
Tips
If a living screen of willow branches does not remain in the braided form by itself, only specially wrapped binding wire should be used to fix the crossing positions, which can not easily cut into the bark of the branches.
