Fencing in Farnborough

While its significance as an element of garden design is sometimes overlooked, fencing is a key part of both the aesthetics and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more solid wooden fencing generally being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the house typically utilises smaller sized and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often painted to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is commonly used for privacy and to maintain the borders 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 around 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Because of the increased height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid between each section to provide security and prevent the fence from blowing over or being damaged in poor weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
