Fencing in Gerrards Cross

While its value as an element of garden design is often overlooked, fencing is an essential part of both the aesthetics and useability of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more secure wooden fencing frequently being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house typically employs smaller and more attractive 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 painted to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently 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 about 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Due to the extra height, these fences often have concrete footings laid in between each section to provide security preventing the fence from blowing over or being damaged in bad weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are produced from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
