Fencing in Ellesmere

Although its value as an aspect of garden design is sometimes neglected, fencing is an essential part of both the appearance and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more substantial timber fencing typically being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the home typically utilises smaller sized and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Also, it is often stained to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to protect the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these varieties of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Due to the additional height, these fences generally 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 panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels 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.
