Fencing in Gravesend

While its value as an element of garden design is often neglected, fencing is a key part of both the appearance and useability of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more solid timber fencing typically being used in the rear garden, while the front of the house usually features smaller sized and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often coloured to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to preserve the borders of a garden, as well as to keep household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. For this reason, these sorts of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Due to the additional height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid in between each section to offer strength which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being ruined in bad weather. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
