Fencing in Egremont

Although its value as an aspect of garden design is sometimes ignored, fencing is an essential part of both the appearance and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more substantial timber fencing generally being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the house often makes use of more compact and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Also, it is often coloured to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally used for privacy and to preserve 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 sorts of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Due to the increased height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid in between each panel to provide security and stop the fence from blowing over or being broken in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
