Fencing in Aldgate

Although its importance 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 higher and more secure wooden fencing frequently being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the house generally features 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 painted to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is typically used for privacy and to maintain the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep domestic pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these varieties of fences are around 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 stability which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in high winds. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
