Fencing in Bow Street

Although its significance as an aspect of garden design is sometimes neglected, fencing is an essential part of both the appearance and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more sturdy wooden fencing generally being used in the rear garden, while the front of the property usually makes use of smaller and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. It is also often coloured to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally used for privacy and to protect the boundaries 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 with no gaps in between. Because of the added height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid between each panel to provide security and stop the fence from blowing over or being ruined in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
