Fencing in Bude

Although its significance as an element of garden design is sometimes ignored, fencing is an integral part of both the appearance and useability of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more strong wooden fencing generally being used in the rear garden, while the front of the property usually employs smaller sized and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. It is also often stained to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is typically used for privacy and to preserve the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep domestic pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these styles of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Because of the extra height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid in between each section to provide security and stop the fence from blowing over or being broken in high winds. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are produced from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
