Fencing in Abbots Leigh

Although its value as an element of garden design is often neglected, fencing is an essential part of both the appearance and useability of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more substantial wooden fencing commonly being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the home typically employs smaller sized and more attractive 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 improve 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. Due to this, these sorts of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Due to the added height, these fences often have concrete footings laid between each section to provide stability which will help 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 panels are produced from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
