Fencing in County Tyrone

Although its value as an element of garden design is often ignored, fencing is an integral part of both the appearance and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more strong wood fencing generally being used in the rear garden, while the front of the home usually features smaller sized and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often stained to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to protect the borders of a garden, as well as to keep domestic pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. For this reason, these types of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Because of the additional height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid in between each section to offer strength preventing the fence from blowing over or being broken in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
