Fencing in Chislehurst

While its value as an element of garden design is often neglected, fencing is a vital part of both the aesthetics and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more secure wood fencing typically being used in the rear garden, while the front of the house generally features smaller sized and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Also, it is often stained to improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is commonly 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 varieties of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Due to the extra height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid in between each section to offer stability and stop 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 made from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
