garden boarder tips please

ccull123

Hi all,

Im trying to create a simple boarder for some planting around my back garden. My neighbour suggested using something as simple as a length of garden decking. He also suggested to use pegs to secure it.

Excuse the silliness but what does he mean by this?

any other advice/tips would be appreciated.

thanks

Something like this maybe?

A simpler option would be to get some 15mm steel bar cut to about 18 to 24 inches long. Drive into the ground about 3 ft apart and then position the Decking boards against the Steel rods and fill with Soil. The Soil will keep them in place. Don't forget to treat the Decking boards with preservatives otherwise they will just rot in about 5 years or so.

I'd recommend composite (or resin) decking for this , as the soil will rot the boards otherwise after a few years.
