Fencing in Broadway

Although its significance as an aspect of garden design is often overlooked, fencing is a key 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 strong wooden fencing usually being used in the rear garden, while the front of the property typically makes use of more compact and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. It is also often coloured 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 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 without gaps in between. Due to the additional height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid in between each section to provide strength preventing the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in bad weather. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
