Fencing in Chelmsford

Although its value as an aspect of garden design is sometimes disregarded, fencing is an integral part of both the appearance and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more strong timber fencing frequently being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the property usually features smaller and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. It is also often coloured to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is commonly used for privacy and to maintain 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 about 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Due to the increased height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid between each panel to offer strength and stopping the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in high winds. Garden fencing sections 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 constructed from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
