Fencing in Frizington

Although its value as an element of garden design is sometimes ignored, fencing is a vital part of both the appearance and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more solid wooden fencing usually being used in the rear garden, while the front of the property typically employs smaller and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. It is also often coloured to improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to preserve 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 kinds of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Because of the extra height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid between each panel to provide strength preventing the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in high winds. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
