Wicker fences in rustic style! 65 examples wicker structures!
Technologies of weaving from natural materials, originated in immemorial times, have remained in demand in modern conditions. Today, a fence made of twigs is not only a fence, but also a tribute to the rustic flavor, a bright element of landscape design. We understand what kind of wicker fences are in execution, what materials are used for this, and what you need to know to decorate the site with an original fence.
Advantages and disadvantages of wicker structures
Wicker fences captivate with their distinctive, slightly careless appearance, characteristic of handmade products. In addition to the spectacular appearance, the fence-wicker has the following advantages:
- Design possibilities. Hedges are diverse in the use of natural materials and the choice of weaving method. Combining these features allows you to create original decorative fences that fit into many stylistic directions.
- Operational properties. The lightweight structure can be mounted on any ground, if necessary, it is easy to transfer: disassemble and reassemble in another place.
- Environmental friendliness. Thanks to the use of natural materials, a decorative fence made of branches looks organically in any environment: in the yard, in the garden, next to a flower bed.
- Accessibility. The fence comes out free of charge if the raw materials are harvested independently. The costs will be small if you purchase prepared rods.
- Ease of manufacture. The weaving technology has been worked out for centuries; popular options do not cause difficulties even for beginners. For such a fence, you do not need to fill the foundation, and the assembly does not take much time.
The set of advantages is impressive, but if you are thinking about how to make a fence out of branches or other improvised material, it's not a bad idea to have an idea about the disadvantages of such structures. So that the decorative fence does not become a disappointment, it is useful to know about the following disadvantages:
- Fragility. Natural material is inherently fragile. Therefore, even with high-quality weaving, the fence will please you no more than 7-10 years.
- Limited use. A wicker fence cannot be used as a full-fledged protective structure. It has low strength and is easily visible, so it is used for zoning and decorating the backyard, sometimes as a temporary fence.
- Complex repairs. The damaged area is quite difficult to restore, and the product is not always amenable to alteration. Sometimes you have to dissolve part of the canvas to remove the broken rods and re-weave it.
- Fire hazard. With the installation of wicker decor in the barbecue area, you should be careful.
Several materials are suitable for the manufacture of a fence-wicker:
- The best twigs for weaving are traditionally obtained from several types of willow (for example, from broom), as well as from hazel, alder and birch.
- A picturesque view has a fence made of reeds or cattails.
- Particularly strong structures are obtained from planed boards of softwood (pine, poplar, willow). For this type of fence, supports are installed with mandatory concreting.

Z vlastnej skúsenosti, prútené ploty sú síce pekné, ale majú krátku životnosť a odolnosť. Ale vďaka 🙏✋
