Fencing in Berriedale

Although its value as an element of garden design is often overlooked, fencing is a vital part of both the appearance and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more substantial timber fencing typically being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the property often features more compact and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. It is also often painted to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to protect the boundaries 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 approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Because of the extra height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid between each panel to provide security and prevent the fence from blowing over or being ruined in high winds. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
