Fencing in Dingwall

While its importance as an aspect of garden design is sometimes overlooked, fencing is a vital part of both the appearance and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more solid wooden fencing generally being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house often features smaller sized and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often painted to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to maintain the borders of a garden, as well as to keep household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these styles of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Due to the additional height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid between each section to offer strength and prevent the fence from blowing over or being broken in bad weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are made 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.
