Fencing in Bures

Although its value as an element of garden design is sometimes disregarded, fencing is a vital part of both the aesthetics and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more secure wooden fencing frequently being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the house usually employs smaller and more ornamental 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 stained to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to protect the borders of a garden, as well as to keep domestic pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these kinds of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Because of the extra height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid in between each panel to provide strength which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in high winds. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are manufactured 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.
