Fencing in Dunbartonshire

While its importance as an aspect of garden design is sometimes ignored, fencing is a vital part of both the appearance and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more tough wooden fencing usually being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the property generally features more compact and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. It is also often painted to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is commonly used for privacy and to maintain the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep domestic pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. For this reason, these kinds of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Due to the additional height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid between each panel to provide security and stopping the fence from blowing over or being ruined in bad weather. Garden fencing sections 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 from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
