Fencing in Darwen

Although its value as an element of garden design is sometimes ignored, fencing is a vital part of both the aesthetics and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more secure timber fencing generally being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house usually features smaller and more attractive 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 coloured to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally used for privacy and to preserve the borders of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these sorts of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Due to the additional height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid between each panel to offer stability and prevent the fence from blowing over or being broken in high winds. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
