Fencing in Crieff

While its value as an element of garden design is sometimes ignored, fencing is a vital part of both the aesthetics and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more tough timber fencing commonly being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house generally employs more compact and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. It is also often painted to improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is typically used for privacy and to protect the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. For this reason, these sorts of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Due to the increased height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid between each panel to offer security and stopping the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in high winds. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are manufactured from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
