Fencing in Deal

Although its significance as an aspect of garden design is often neglected, fencing is an integral part of both the aesthetics and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more strong timber fencing typically being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the home generally features smaller sized and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. It is also often painted to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is commonly used for privacy and to preserve the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these styles of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Because of the added height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid in between each panel to offer strength and stop the fence from blowing over or being broken in high winds. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
