Fencing in Chorley

Although its significance as an element of garden design is often disregarded, fencing is a key part of both the appearance and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more tough wood fencing usually being used in the rear garden, while the front of the home often utilises more compact and more attractive 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 painted to improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is typically used for privacy and to maintain the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these kinds of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Due to the extra height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid in between each panel to provide stability preventing 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 produced from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
