Fencing in Aberfeldy

Although its importance as an element of garden design is often neglected, 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 tough timber fencing generally being used in the rear garden, while the front of the home often utilises more compact and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Also, it is often stained to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is typically used for privacy and to preserve 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 types of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Due to the added height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid between each section to offer strength and prevent the fence from blowing over or being ruined in bad weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are produced from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
