Fencing in Cannock

Although its importance as an element of garden design is sometimes ignored, fencing is a key part of both the appearance and useability of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more substantial wood fencing usually being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house often employs more compact and more decorative 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 coloured to improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently 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 varieties of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Because of the additional height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid in between each section to offer security preventing the fence from blowing over or being damaged in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
