Fencing in Bishops Stortford

While its value as an element of garden design is sometimes neglected, fencing is a key part of both the aesthetics and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more substantial wood fencing commonly being used in the rear garden, while the front of the home usually makes use of smaller and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often stained to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally used for privacy and to preserve the boundaries 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 with no gaps in between. Due to the added height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid between each section to provide security and stop the fence from blowing over or being broken in bad weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are produced 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.
