Fencing in Bolton

While its importance as an aspect of garden design is sometimes overlooked, fencing is an essential part of both the aesthetics and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more sturdy timber fencing typically being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the home usually features more compact and more decorative 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 stained to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to maintain the borders of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these varieties of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Due to the additional height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid between each panel to provide strength which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being broken in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are manufactured from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
