When the pillars, the main and intermediate, are set, we proceed directly to making a decorative fence for the dacha with our own hands. We skip the boards in such a way that they alternate and create the effect of weaving. We fasten one board before the intermediate post, fix the ends, resting in the thick pillars. The next board - on the contrary, we grab the middle post, and its ends pass before the thick pillars.

Of course, leaving unprocessed boards as is is unacceptable, because the fence will not last long, after a few rains it will cover with black mold, and then completely deform and deteriorate.

Features of "braids"
This type of wooden fence is one of the most ancient. The technology has been used since time immemorial, because there is no need for nails or any other fasteners.
It is possible to make wicker fences from vines, wood rods, placing them in a zigzag manner between the posts. If the fence is made of boards, which was invented and implemented relatively recently, the pillars should be installed firmly and deeply enough.
The "Alpine braid" serves several purposes:
- Protection - that is, fencing from prying eyes, penetration into the territory of uninvited guests, as well as from animals and various pests. In this case, the fence must be high and sturdy.
- Fencing . You probably want to zonate your site with such a fence. Then you can make it lower and use lighter materials instead of boards - a vine, for example.
- Decoration . If the purpose of the fence is purely decorative, it can represent only a small element, next to which grow flowers. In this case, you can also weave from the vine. For the pillars of the same approach the thin branches, dug into the ground.
