Fencing in East Cowes

While its importance as an element of garden design is sometimes neglected, fencing is a key part of both the aesthetics and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more tough timber fencing usually being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the house typically employs smaller sized and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often coloured to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to maintain the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. For this reason, these types of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Due to the additional height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid in between each section to offer security preventing the fence from blowing over or being ruined in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally made of 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 eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
