Fencing in Aberdeenshire

While its value as an element of garden design is often neglected, fencing is a key part of both the aesthetics and useability of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more strong wood fencing frequently being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the house generally employs more compact and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often coloured to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is typically used for privacy and to maintain the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep domestic pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these varieties of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Due to the added height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid in between each section to provide security and prevent the fence from blowing over or being broken in high winds. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are produced from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
