Fencing in Aberdour

Although its importance as an aspect of garden design is sometimes overlooked, fencing is an essential part of both the aesthetics and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more solid timber fencing commonly being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the home typically features smaller and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often stained to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally used for privacy and to protect the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. For this reason, these kinds of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Because of the extra height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid between each panel to offer strength preventing the fence from blowing over or being ruined in high winds. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are produced from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
