Fencing in Chalfont St Giles

While its value as an element of garden design is sometimes neglected, fencing is an integral part of both the aesthetics and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more secure timber fencing usually being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house usually features smaller and more decorative 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 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 pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these varieties of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Due to the additional height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid between each panel to offer stability which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being damaged in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are manufactured from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
