Fencing in Cleator Moor

While its importance as an element of garden design is sometimes ignored, fencing is an integral part of both the appearance and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more tough timber fencing generally being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the property usually employs smaller sized and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. It is also often stained to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to maintain the borders of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. For this reason, these varieties of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Due to the increased height, these fences often have concrete footings laid in between each panel to offer security and stop the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in high winds. 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 from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
