Fencing in Aylesford

While its value as an element of garden design is sometimes disregarded, fencing is an essential part of both the appearance and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more tough timber fencing usually being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house typically makes use of smaller and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Also, it is often stained to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to preserve the borders of a garden, as well as to keep domestic pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these varieties of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Due to the additional height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid in between each section to offer strength and stopping the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in high winds. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are manufactured from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
