Fencing

While its significance as an aspect of garden design is sometimes ignored, fencing is a key part of both the aesthetics and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more secure wooden fencing typically being used in the rear garden, while the front of the home usually employs smaller sized and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. It is also often painted to enhance its decorative effect.Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to preserve the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these varieties of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Due to the additional height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid in between each panel to provide strength which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being damaged in high winds.Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are produced from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
