Fencing in Crickhowell

While its importance as an element of garden design is sometimes disregarded, fencing is an essential part of both the appearance and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more solid timber fencing frequently being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the home often utilises smaller sized and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Also, it is often painted to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is commonly 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. Because of this, these styles of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Due to the added height, these fences often have concrete footings laid in between each section to offer strength and stop the fence from blowing over or being damaged in poor weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are made from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
