Fencing in Glasgow

While its significance as an element of garden design is sometimes ignored, fencing is a key part of both the aesthetics and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more solid wood fencing usually being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the house often features smaller and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature 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 preserve the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these types of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Due to the added height, these fences often have concrete footings laid between each section to provide security preventing the fence from blowing over or being ruined in poor weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are produced from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
