Fencing in Fakenham

Although its significance as an aspect of garden design is often disregarded, fencing is a vital part of both the aesthetics and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more secure wooden fencing generally being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the property usually features smaller and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. It is also often coloured 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. For this reason, these sorts of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Due to the added height, these fences often have concrete footings laid between each section to provide security and stop the fence from blowing over or being damaged in poor weather. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are made from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
