Fencing in Folkestone

Although its importance as an aspect of garden design is often neglected, fencing is a key part of both the appearance and useability of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more sturdy wooden fencing commonly being used in the rear garden, while the front of the home often utilises more compact and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often coloured to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to protect the borders of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. For this reason, these kinds of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Due to the added height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid between each section to offer security and prevent the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in high winds. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
