Fencing in Brora

Although its value as an aspect of garden design is sometimes ignored, fencing is an essential part of both the aesthetics and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more solid timber fencing generally being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the property usually features smaller and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Also, it is often stained to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is typically 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 about 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Due to the additional height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid in between each panel to provide stability and stop the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in high winds. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are made from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
