Fencing in Aylesbury

While its importance as an element of garden design is sometimes overlooked, fencing is a key part of both the aesthetics and useability of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more sturdy wood fencing generally being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the home generally utilises smaller sized and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. It is also often painted 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 pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these kinds of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Due to the added height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid in between each section to provide strength which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in poor weather. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are made from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
