Fencing in Cromarty

Although its significance as an element of garden design is often neglected, fencing is an essential part of both the aesthetics and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more solid wooden fencing frequently being used in the rear garden, while the front of the home generally utilises smaller sized and more decorative 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 decorative 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. For this reason, these sorts of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Due to the increased height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid between each section to offer stability and stopping the fence from blowing over or being damaged in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are produced from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
