Fencing in Cranbrook

While its value as an aspect of garden design is sometimes overlooked, fencing is a key part of both the appearance and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more secure wood fencing usually being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the property typically features smaller sized and more attractive 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 stained to improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally used for privacy and to preserve the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these kinds of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Due to the additional height, these fences often have concrete footings laid between each section to provide stability preventing the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
