Fencing in Cromer

While its value as an element of garden design is sometimes neglected, fencing is a vital part of both the appearance and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more tough timber fencing generally being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the house typically employs smaller and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Also, it is often stained to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally used for privacy and to protect the borders of a garden, as well as to keep household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these styles of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Because of the increased height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid in between each panel to offer strength and prevent the fence from blowing over or being broken in poor weather. 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 made of heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
