Fencing in Carnforth

While its significance as an element of garden design is often overlooked, fencing is a vital part of both the appearance and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more solid wood fencing typically being placed 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 have a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often coloured to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to protect the borders of a garden, as well as to keep household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these sorts of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Due to the added height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid between each panel to provide security and stopping the fence from blowing over or being ruined in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are manufactured from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
