Fencing in Abbotsley

Although its value as an element of garden design is sometimes neglected, fencing is a key part of both the appearance and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more strong wood fencing typically being used in the rear garden, while the front of the home usually utilises more compact and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. It is also often painted to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is commonly used for privacy and to protect 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 styles of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Due to the increased height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid in between each panel to offer strength preventing the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in bad weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
