Fencing in Dunstable

Although its significance as an aspect of garden design is sometimes overlooked, fencing is an essential part of both the aesthetics and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more sturdy wooden fencing typically being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the home generally employs 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 improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally 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. Due to this, these styles of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Because of the additional height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid in between each panel to offer stability which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being broken in high winds. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are produced from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
