Fencing in Bembridge

While its importance as an aspect of garden design is often neglected, fencing is an integral part of both the aesthetics and useability of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more substantial wooden fencing typically being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the property typically makes use of more compact and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often coloured to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally used for privacy and to protect the borders of a garden, as well as to keep domestic pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these styles of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Due to the extra height, these fences often have concrete footings laid in between each section to offer security and prevent the fence from blowing over or being ruined in high winds. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are manufactured from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
