Fencing in Bungay

Although its significance as an element of garden design is sometimes disregarded, fencing is an integral part of both the aesthetics and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more secure wood fencing typically being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the property usually employs more compact and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. It is also often painted 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. Because of this, these sorts of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Because of the added height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid in between each panel to provide strength which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being broken in bad weather. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
