Fencing

While its importance as an aspect of garden design is often disregarded, fencing is an integral part of both the aesthetics and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more strong wooden fencing typically being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the home typically makes use of smaller and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Also, it is often coloured to enhance its ornamental effect.Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to preserve the borders of a garden, as well as to keep domestic pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these kinds of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Due to the added height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid between each panel to provide stability and stopping the fence from blowing over or being ruined in high winds.Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are produced from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
