Fencing in Dunfermline

Although its significance as an element of garden design is sometimes ignored, fencing is a vital part of both the appearance and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more sturdy wooden fencing generally being used in the rear garden, while the front of the house typically employs more compact and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often coloured to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is typically used for privacy and to preserve the borders of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these kinds of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Due to the added height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid in between each section to provide security and prevent the fence from blowing over or being broken in poor weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are produced from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
