Fencing

While its significance as an aspect of garden design is sometimes disregarded, fencing is an integral part of both the aesthetics and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more tough wooden fencing usually being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the property typically utilises smaller and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Also, it is often stained to enhance its ornamental effect.Fencing in the back garden is typically 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. For this reason, these styles of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Because of the extra height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid between each section to provide stability and stop the fence from blowing over or being broken in bad weather.Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
