Fencing in Clydebank

Although its value as an aspect of garden design is often ignored, fencing is a key part of both the aesthetics and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more strong wooden fencing usually being used in the rear garden, while the front of the property usually features smaller sized and more attractive 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 enhance 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 sorts of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Due to the additional height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid between each panel to provide stability and stopping the fence from blowing over or being broken in bad weather. 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 eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
