Fencing in Aboyne

While its significance as an aspect of garden design is sometimes overlooked, fencing is a vital part of both the aesthetics and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more strong timber 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 stained to enhance its decorative 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. For this reason, these types of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Due to the additional height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid between each panel to offer stability and prevent the fence from blowing over or being broken in poor weather. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are produced from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
