Fencing in Brechin

Although its significance as an aspect of garden design is sometimes overlooked, fencing is an essential part of both the appearance and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more substantial wood fencing usually being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the property generally features smaller and more attractive 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 coloured to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is commonly used for privacy and to protect the borders of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these types of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Because of the added height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid in between each panel to offer stability preventing the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in poor weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are produced from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
