Fencing in Dulas

Although its significance as an aspect of garden design is sometimes overlooked, fencing is a key part of both the aesthetics and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more tough wood fencing typically being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the house generally employs smaller and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Also, it is often coloured to improve 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 domestic pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. For this reason, these styles of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Because of the extra height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid in between each section to offer security and prevent the fence from blowing over or being damaged in high winds. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
