Fencing in Brentwood

While its value as an aspect of garden design is often ignored, fencing is an integral part of both the aesthetics and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more tough wooden fencing generally being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the home usually utilises smaller and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. It is also often coloured to improve 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 types of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Because of the increased height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid in between each section to offer security preventing the fence from blowing over or being broken in poor weather. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are manufactured from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
