The Use And Applications Of Bender Boards

By Stephanie Cox


If you want your lawns and gardens to look really well kept and manicured, you know the drill. Youll have to set everything in its place, and just generally keep them in check. After all, we are dealing with flora, vegetation, and general greenery here. Theyre constantly growing and evolving, and anytime, they can potentially spill over. Keep them behaved with Bender Boards.

Even though, it might not be a well known term by itself, everyone has probably come across it some time or other. Its essentially a landscaping material that serves as an edging to flowerbeds, lawns, gardens, and the like. Typically, they usually resemble wood, although theyre usually made in polymers. Therefore, while it has the aesthetics of organics, its something that doesnt easily rot, splinter, or generally bow down to the elements.

Its easy to install too. Some opt for a DIY while some make good sure and decide on contractors. Either way is good. With the first, you can save some dough and really follow whatever customized plans you have planned. With the latter, youll at least be assured that everything technically functional, with high quality. Its still all down on whether or not you have a good bend board.

Get all the materials on hand before you get down to work. Aside from the BBs, youll need some measuring implements, wood stakes, and of course, the digging tools, nails, hammer, hacksaws, and the whole shebang. All in all, pretty intuitive. For sustain ability's sake, youll want to make sure that all that go in the board and the board itself, are resistant to the elements, especially corrosion.

There are many kinds of edging materials, borne from human invention and versatility. They all differ depending on the climate, soil type, individual tastes and preferences, and so on and so forth. Its a given that gardens, turfs, flowerbeds, and other sections, will need to be bordered so as to make distinct sections. Because of the many options out on the market, it can be strange which one to choose.

After everythings set and done, level them out. Fill in all the displaced soil. After that, you can plant or install your flower, shrubs, and whatnot. Of course, youll have to make sure the principles of landscaping are properly integrated. You wouldnt want to go overboard with one element and abandon another. As it is, thats the point of this whole shebang, and you might wind up defeating your own purpose when the BB becomes covered, or whatnot.

In installing it, whether as a DIY or as a supervisor of the installer, make sure to get all the details down pat. The board will be rolled when it arrives, so you will have to unroll it and level it out by securing the ends. Identify whether or not the flexibility is up to the degree that you need it to. You can always control by exposing it to certain elements, such as in dipping it in water or warming it under the sun.

This board is great in more ways than one. Some manufacturers have made for it to be made from recycled materials, which is great in reducing carbon footprints. Unlike other materials, it does not rot nor decompose. Its resistant, strong, and does not break down or splinter. Whats more, and as is important when were talking about the backyard, its insect proof as well, which is a great thing.

Generally, boards are too short to the point of being negligible. Howsoever the upper stakes may be variable in height, the foundation should never be compromised. The dug trench should always be more than five inches, and preferably more, and it also has to be wide at the top, more than the bottom. Youll need to know when to curve, when to adjust, level, and some such. All these are noteworthy if youre up for a great output.
