Fencing in Arlesey

Although its importance as an aspect of garden design is often ignored, fencing is an integral part of both the appearance and useability of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more sturdy wood fencing commonly being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the house generally utilises more compact and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often coloured to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to protect 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 sorts of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Due to the extra height, these fences often have concrete footings laid between each panel to provide security which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in bad weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from 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.
