Fencing in Beauly

While its value as an element of garden design is sometimes ignored, fencing is a key part of both the appearance and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more secure wooden fencing commonly being used in the rear garden, while the front of the house generally employs more compact and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Also, it is often stained to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is commonly used for privacy and to protect the borders of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these kinds of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Due to the increased height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid between each panel to offer stability and stop the fence from blowing over or being damaged in poor weather. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
