Fencing in Alcester

While its significance as an element of garden design is sometimes ignored, fencing is a vital part of both the appearance and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more substantial wooden fencing commonly being used in the rear garden, while the front of the property typically features more compact 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 enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is commonly used for privacy and to maintain the borders 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 with no gaps in between. Due to the added height, these fences often have concrete footings laid between each panel to provide strength and stop the fence from blowing over or being ruined in poor weather. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are manufactured from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
