Fencing in Bromley

Although its value as an element of garden design is sometimes ignored, fencing is a key part of both the appearance and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more strong timber fencing typically being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house generally employs smaller and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Also, it is often coloured to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally 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 sorts of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Because of the additional height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid between each section to offer security preventing the fence from blowing over or being ruined in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are manufactured from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
