Fencing in Builth Wells

Although its importance as an aspect of garden design is often ignored, fencing is a vital part of both the appearance and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more sturdy timber fencing usually being used in the rear garden, while the front of the house typically features smaller sized and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Also, it is often coloured to improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is commonly used for privacy and to maintain the borders of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these types of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Due to the extra height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid between each panel to offer strength and stopping the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in poor weather. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
