Fencing in Bilston

While its value as an element of garden design is often overlooked, fencing is an essential part of both the aesthetics and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more sturdy timber fencing commonly being used in the rear garden, while the front of the house often utilises smaller and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Also, it is often painted to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is typically 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. For this reason, these styles of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Due to the extra height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid between each section to offer strength and stop the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in poor weather. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
