Fencing in Brough

Although its importance as an aspect of garden design is sometimes disregarded, fencing is a vital part of both the aesthetics and useability of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more solid wood fencing generally being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house usually 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. Also, it is often stained to improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally used for privacy and to protect the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. For this reason, these varieties of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Due to the increased height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid in between each section to provide security and prevent the fence from blowing over or being broken in bad weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are produced from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
