Fencing in Bedford

While its significance as an aspect of garden design is often neglected, fencing is an integral part of both the appearance and useability of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more substantial wooden fencing commonly being placed 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 have a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Also, it is often stained to improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is commonly used for privacy and to maintain the borders of a garden, as well as to keep household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these sorts of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Due to the additional height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid in between each panel to offer security preventing the fence from blowing over or being ruined in poor weather. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are produced from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
