Fencing in Glyncoch

While its significance as an aspect of garden design is often ignored, fencing is an integral part of both the appearance and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more secure timber fencing typically being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the house generally features more compact and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Also, it is often coloured to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to preserve the borders of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these styles of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Because of the increased height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid in between each panel to provide security preventing the fence from blowing over or being ruined in poor weather. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are produced from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
