Fencing in Borehamwood

While its significance as an aspect of garden design is often overlooked, fencing is an integral part of both the appearance and useability of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more strong timber fencing typically being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the house generally employs smaller and more decorative 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 coloured to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is commonly used for privacy and to protect the borders of a garden, as well as to keep domestic pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these varieties of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Because of the increased height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid in between each panel to offer stability preventing 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 produced from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
