Fencing in Belgravia

Although its value as an aspect of garden design is often neglected, fencing is a key part of both the appearance and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more solid wooden fencing usually being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the property often features smaller sized and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often coloured to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is typically used for privacy and to preserve the borders of a garden, as well as to keep household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these varieties of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Because of the extra height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid between each panel to offer strength and prevent the fence from blowing over or being ruined in high winds. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are produced from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
