Fencing in Bexleyheath

Although its significance as an aspect of garden design is often neglected, fencing is an integral part of both the aesthetics and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more solid wooden fencing usually being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the property generally employs smaller sized and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Also, it is often painted to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to protect the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep domestic pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these types of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Due to the extra height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid in between each panel to offer strength and stop the fence from blowing over or being damaged in poor weather. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are manufactured from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
