Fencing in Clackmannanshire

While its importance as an element of garden design is often overlooked, fencing is a key part of both the aesthetics and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more solid timber fencing typically being used in the rear garden, while the front of the house often utilises smaller sized and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. It is also often coloured to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally 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 without gaps in between. Because of the added height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid in between each panel to offer strength and stop the fence from blowing over or being damaged in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from 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 sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
