Fencing in Chatteris

While its value as an element of garden design is sometimes disregarded, fencing is an integral part of both the aesthetics and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more tough wooden fencing typically being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the house usually makes use of 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. Additionally, it is often painted to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is typically used for privacy and to maintain the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. For this reason, these varieties of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Because of the increased height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid between each panel to provide security preventing the fence from blowing over or being ruined in bad weather. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are manufactured from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
