Fencing in Filey

While its importance as an element of garden design is often ignored, fencing is a vital part of both the aesthetics and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more sturdy wooden fencing frequently being used in the rear garden, while the front of the property generally employs smaller and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. It is also often coloured to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to maintain the borders 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 gaps in between. Because of the extra height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid in between each panel to offer strength 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 made from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
