Fencing in Carlisle

While its value as an aspect of garden design is sometimes overlooked, fencing is an integral 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 substantial wooden fencing frequently being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the home usually utilises smaller sized and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Also, it is often painted to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is typically 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 sorts of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Due to the additional height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid in between each panel to offer stability preventing the fence from blowing over or being ruined 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. Recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
