Instruction

1. Wattle fence - wooden protection which can be built from the stakes collected in advance, branches, brushwood, rods, skillfully binding them among themselves. It can be made in two options: in the first rods to arrange vertically, in the second - it is horizontal. It is preferable to look for material from trees of flexible breeds. It is willow, hazel grove, alder, poplar, willow.

2. Before working with "thinner" material of wattle fence - rods, take care of strong basis. You need to prepare the necessary quantity of sanded up logs with a diameter from 10 to 12 cm, poles cleaned from bark with a diameter from 6 to 8 cm. Decide on height and length of wattle fence. Cut enough the necessary rods. Their length depends on fence height: they have to be longer than the planned height on 10-12 centimeters.

3. Columns dig in to the earth, previously having processed the deepened ends tar or other protective impregnations. To them beat poles, having them in three ranks. The lower row is enough to arrange at the height about 20 cm from the earth, top – on same, the third – in the middle between the first two.

4. Length of crossbeams for wattle fence is chosen, being guided by the planned fencing durability. The design will have no heavy load therefore crossbeams can be joined and extended, twisting wire or forcing down nails.

5. Further it is necessary to pass rods, having divided them into even and odd. The ends of odd rods at the same time will be located vertically between the lower and top crossbeams, and their middle - behind average. Even branches will lay down on the contrary: the middle part will be located before average pole. At horizontal arrangement of rods of crossbeam are not necessary. Columns establish at distance 1.5-2 meters from each other, stakes between them - through 50-60 cm. Then they are bound branches horizontally.

6. The flexibility of rods is different. To increase it, on the eve of construction of branch it is recommended to soak within two or three days (it is possible in well, pond, other reservoir). Also other way is applied - take piece of polyethylene film, wrap in it rods, previously having watered with their hot water (60-70 degrees). Leave also for two three days, periodically opening panel and repeatedly watering with hot water. Branches have to remain always damp. It is necessary to work with parties of such preparations, spending stocks gradually as material it will be required much.
