Fencing in Billingham

While its value as an element of garden design is often disregarded, fencing is a vital part of both the appearance and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more substantial wood fencing commonly being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the house typically utilises smaller and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. It is also often coloured to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is commonly used for privacy and to maintain the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these styles of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Because of the increased height, these fences often have concrete footings laid between each section to offer strength and stop the fence from blowing over or being ruined in bad weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are made from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
