Turning useless space into useful space
The first step is to think about why it is best to use a fence around a summer cottage or the territory of a private house. Some people want to decorate it, at the same time using it to grow various crops. Others want extra space in the yard for knocking out and drying carpets. Much also depends on the strength of the fence frame. Some fences will have to be strengthened before placing certain elements on them.
Today we will consider two options for using the inside of the fence.
Growing strawberries on a fence
A very interesting option for using a fence, which does not require large expenditures, both physically and financially. To bring it to life, you will need a sewer plastic pipe with a diameter of 100 mm, a crown for wood. However, it is necessary to somehow fix the hanging flower bed on the fence. To do this, you can weld steel corners onto the racks, although there is a simpler option.
Work with a sewer pipe
Nothing complicated is foreseen here. Along the entire length of the sewer plastic pipe, it will be necessary to drill holes at some distance from one another. To do this, you can use a wood crown. Both sides of the pipe will have to be "muffled" with the help of factory elements or scrap materials.
Fasteners for hanging flower beds
If there is no desire or possibility of welding, then steel wire rod with a diameter of 8 mm can be used to fasten the flower bed to the fence. It is necessary to bend double-sided hooks of equal length from it, and then hook them to the upper edge of the fence. After that, it remains to lay a plastic pipe with holes on them.
Making a bed from a plastic pipe
After the pipe has taken its position, it remains only to fill it with fertile soil, and then plant strawberries in each hole. If you wish, you can also consider drip irrigation here.
Drying, cleaning and knocking out carpets
This is another of the options for using the inside of the fence. To implement it, you need a little skill of the welder. In a nutshell, you need to weld metal corners on all racks at the same height. Subsequently, a regular or profile steel pipe is laid on them, which is also welded. Now on the fence, you can easily place a wet carpet to dry or hang a dry one that needs to be knocked out.
However, as practice shows, such pipes can be a waste of time and money, given their cost. After all, no one needs to wash carpets every day, and it is simply stupid to cook such a structure so that it is used every 2-3 years. So, you should pay attention to other ways of using the inside of the fence.
Developing corner for children's creativity
This option is perfect for those who often have children at their dacha. Large costs for the equipment of the corner will not be needed. If the fence is made of flat metal, then all that is needed is to cover it with special paint, turning it into a slate board like a school one. If the surface is uneven, you can always fix a sheet of metal or even plastic on it. The main thing is that the material does not deteriorate under the influence of precipitation. Although in this case it will be useful to think over a visor.
Other ways to use the inside of the fence in the country
If the listed methods are not suitable for the owner for one reason or another, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with photo examples of various fences from their inside. It is possible that the dear reader will find for himself what is right for him.
