Fencing in Diss

Although its value as an element of garden design is sometimes overlooked, fencing is an integral part of both the aesthetics and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more substantial wood fencing generally being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the property typically features 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. It is also often coloured to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to maintain 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 roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Because of the increased height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid between each panel to offer stability and stopping the fence from blowing over or being broken in bad weather. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are made from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
