Fencing in Coatbridge

Although its value as an aspect of garden design is sometimes overlooked, fencing is an essential part of both the appearance and useability of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more substantial timber fencing typically being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house usually features smaller sized and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Also, it is often coloured to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to preserve the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep domestic pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these styles of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Due to the added height, these fences often have concrete footings laid between each section to offer strength preventing the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in poor weather. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
