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.

The point is, a good balance between hardscape and softscape should be ensured. The first has to do with structures like fountains, pavements, rock decorations, and the like. The latter is more on vegetation and greenery. Both should be present in an acceptable balance. Too much of hard landscaping will give off sleek commercial vibes. However, too much of the Soft will turn everything to a messy and overgrown jungle.

These BBs often come in rolls or coils. Get yourself some wooden stakes, measuring tapes, digging tools, hand saws, hammer, nails, the usual. Since the BB is used to being rolled, it will constantly spring up to that position. So mind that youll have to roll it, lay it out, and just secure it in place to ready it for installation. Proper measuring is also key.

Its tagged as bender because its fluid and flexible in its movement, well able to be bended, curved, and reconfigured. Its a board because its just what it looks like, and its also thin while not being flimsy. They can be made out of many materials. From the most popular, you have hardwood like cedar and redwood. And since were in the polymeric age now, well its only inevitable that the plastic based ones are fast taking flight.

Well, at the most basic level, one should consider aesthetics as well as functionality. Wood is something thats really great for appearances. However, its not exactly low maintenance. Plastic is nearly permanent. However, some types are not real lookers. Therefore, the perfect material would be something that looks natural, liek wood, bricks, or concrete, but is greatly durable. That is just what BBs are.

Youll have to do a lot of preparatory tasks before you can start going on the deep end. This will have to be done properly because its functional. When the support is not right, then it will not be sustainable. Therefore, measure properly and put in some markings or stakes when you have to. See to the needed length of the board, so that you can source everything beforehand.

Never approximate and estimate. Always get the measurements down pat, and when it comes to the path, dont adjudge and guesstimate. Rather, mark it in a corporeal way, such as by trailing strings, spraying paint and other physical pathfinders. Among the most important measuring youll do is the boards height because its not just what you see at the outset, but also the part thats buried underneath, which serves as the foundation and therefore determines durability.

This implement is just seemingly rife with benefits and disadvantages. Weve mentioned how its incredibly functional. Its low maintenance, user friendly, good looking, and so on and so forth. However, it wouldnt be good to pin it as perfect. After all, the outcomes are still down on the ability of installers and the foresight of owners.
