Fencing in Abbots Bromley

While its value as an element of garden design is often overlooked, fencing is a vital part of both the appearance and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more tough timber fencing typically being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house usually employs smaller and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Also, it is often coloured to improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is typically used for privacy and to preserve the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these sorts of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Because of the increased height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid in between each panel to provide strength and prevent the fence from blowing over or being ruined in poor weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are made from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
