You should have no problem finding almost any size you need on eBay. Get as close as possible and get slightly larger if your exact size isn't available. While you can cut the hedges to meet your exact needs, you don't want something that is too short or much larger than your installation area. If you are wrapping the hedges around a pillar or other object, then you have to measure all of the sides. If both, then you need to double how much you are buying. For example, if you are installing the hedges on a fence, then you have to consider whether you want one or both sides covered by the hedge. Measuring isn't difficult, but many people forget to take all of the sides and angles into account. You must measure the intended installation area before buying the hedges. How do you properly measure for artificial hedges? Each installation has a different variety of plants.
There are numerous hedges to choose from, and finding the right one largely depends on where you're placing them and what you want the hedges to look like. Below are a dozen vines, the first are true Maine natives, the second half from further south.Artificial hedges allow you to add shrubs and greenery to your entire garden or just select areas with ease. Additionally, there are many more species from southern New England to the mid-South that are hardy enough to be grown in Maine gardens. There are half a dozen vines native to Maine that that could green these vertical spaces. Even where there is no soil to plant, a large pot with a vine spilling down its side or weaving up around a porch railing can add a touch of life in an otherwise barren area. Instead of hot sun reflecting heat off the bare side of a concrete or metal building, a wall of leaves would absorb solar energy and carbon dioxide, give off oxygen to cool and moisten the air, and provide habitat for birds, pollinating insects and other fauna.
Vines can also add much needed vegetation to an impoverished urban environment where there is very little planting space. Relax under an arbor shaded by a canopy of leaves with fruits dangling down, or be enchanted as you pass through an arched gateway covered with vines. Admire the climbing stems of a vine weaving in and out of a trellis, trained up latticework over a doorway or enlivening a plain wall. Imagine the barren wire of a chain link fence hidden by a wall of leaves and covered with blossoms in the spring and fruits in the fall. Choose a native species beloved by hummingbirds, butterflies, bumble bees or birds and you will create food and habitat where once there was none. With their roots in the earth and their stems twining upward, vines are a great solution where ground space is limited but vertical space is available.
