Fencing in Airdrie

Although its significance as an aspect of garden design is often overlooked, fencing is an integral part of both the aesthetics and useability of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more sturdy wooden fencing typically being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the property often makes use of 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. Also, it is often coloured to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is typically used for privacy and to maintain 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 types of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Due to the added height, these fences often have concrete footings laid in between each panel to provide strength and stop the fence from blowing over or being damaged in poor weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are manufactured 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.
