If there is a desire to equip borders-banks around flower beds, or decorate the boundaries of paths on a personal plot with them, you do not always need to buy ready-made fences. In this place, you should show a little imagination and work a little. For example, you can weave them from a rod – it will turn out originally, not like everyone else’s, while you can buy something useful with the money saved.
