Fencing in Bootle

Although its significance as an element of garden design is often ignored, fencing is an essential part of both the aesthetics and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more substantial wooden fencing generally being used in the rear garden, while the front of the property generally makes use of 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. Also, it is often painted to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to preserve the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. For this reason, these kinds of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Because of the added height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid between each panel to offer 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 sections are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
