Fences for currant bushes

To maintain the bushes at the summer cottage, special fences are used. They are intended for plants such as currants, raspberries, viburnum, blackberries, gooseberries, as well as bushy flowers such as roses or peonies. Thanks to such a fence, the bushes have a more compact, neat appearance, and the crown of the plants is formed correctly.

Some of the ways to create bush holders are very simple and do not require a lot of time and complex inventory.

Fencing made of pegs and twine

Four pegs are hammered along the perimeter of the shrub so that about 50 cm remains above the ground (more pegs can be installed). Twine, twine, wire or any suitable material is tied to the first support.

Option for a fence made of pegs and twine

The branches are lifted and the twine is tied to the next peg. The rest of the racks are tied in the same way.
Tip: The rope can be replaced with thin bars. In this case, a bar is attached to the screws between the pegs.

Stand for bushes made of spears and simple branches

Four spears, about 70-80 cm long, are driven around the bush. Roaches can be crafted from fruit tree branches. On top of the hammered spears, you can put even branches.

Fencing with iron base

The most durable and strong fence is made of iron pipes. Making such a bush holder with your own hands is not difficult. Four steel pipes are driven along the perimeter of the bush, a suitable block, a piece of wood, is hammered into the pipe hole from above.
