Fencing in Aberdeen

Although its importance as an aspect of garden design is sometimes overlooked, fencing is a key part of both the aesthetics and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more substantial wood fencing typically being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house usually features more compact and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often painted to improve its decorative 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. For this reason, these sorts of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Because of the extra height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid between each panel to offer security which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being damaged in poor weather. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are manufactured from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
