Fencing in Canvey Island

While its value as an aspect of garden design is sometimes overlooked, fencing is a vital part of both the appearance and useability of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more solid 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 spaces between the wooden slats. Also, it is often coloured to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is typically used for privacy and to maintain the borders of a garden, as well as to keep household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. For this reason, these types of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Because of the increased height, these fences often have concrete footings laid in between each section to provide stability and prevent the fence from blowing over or being broken in high winds. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are produced from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
