Fencing in Coleraine

Although its importance as an aspect of garden design is sometimes neglected, fencing is an essential 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 sturdy wooden fencing typically being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the home typically features smaller and more attractive 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 painted to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to protect 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 approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Because of the extra height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid in between each section to offer strength and prevent the fence from blowing over or being damaged in bad weather. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are produced from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
