Fencing in Broadstairs

While its value as an aspect of garden design is sometimes overlooked, fencing is an integral part of both the aesthetics and useability of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more sturdy wooden fencing frequently being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the home often utilises smaller sized and more decorative 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 stained to improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to preserve the borders of a garden, as well as to keep household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these kinds of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Due to the extra height, these fences often have concrete footings laid between each section to provide security and stop the fence from blowing over or being damaged in poor weather. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
