Fencing in Bishop Auckland

While its significance as an element of garden design is often ignored, fencing is a key part of both the appearance and useability of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more solid wood fencing commonly being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house often features smaller and more attractive 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 coloured to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to protect the borders of a garden, as well as to keep household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these types of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Due to the added height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid in between each panel to provide strength which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in bad weather. Garden fencing panels 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 environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
