Fencing in Ballymena

Although its importance as an element of garden design is sometimes overlooked, fencing is a key part of both the appearance and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more solid timber fencing commonly being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house often employs smaller sized and more ornamental 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 ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to maintain the borders of a garden, as well as to keep domestic pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. For this reason, these types of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Due to the extra height, these fences often have concrete footings laid in between each panel to offer stability and stopping the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in poor weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are produced from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
