Fencing in Coalville

Although its significance as an element of garden design is sometimes neglected, fencing is an integral part of both the appearance and useability of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more sturdy timber fencing generally being used in the rear garden, while the front of the house generally employs smaller and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. It is also often stained to improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally used for privacy and to maintain the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep domestic pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these types of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Because of the increased height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid between each panel to provide strength which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being damaged in high winds. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are made from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
