Fencing in Bury

While its value as an aspect of garden design is often overlooked, fencing is a key part of both the appearance and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more tough wooden fencing commonly being used in the rear garden, while the front of the home often features 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 coloured to improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally used for privacy and to preserve the borders of a garden, as well as to keep domestic pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these types of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Because of the additional height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid in between each section to offer strength and stop the fence from blowing over or being damaged in high winds. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
