Fencing in Bedale

Although its significance 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 likely differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more solid timber fencing usually being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the property often employs more compact and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Also, it is often coloured to improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally used for privacy and to maintain the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep domestic pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these types of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Due to the increased height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid in between each panel to offer security which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being ruined in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
