Fencing in Greenock

While its importance as an aspect of garden design is sometimes disregarded, fencing is a vital part of both the appearance and useability of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more tough timber fencing commonly being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the property typically employs more compact and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Also, it is often coloured to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is commonly used for privacy and to protect 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 varieties of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Because of the added height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid between each section to provide strength preventing the fence from blowing over or being damaged in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are produced from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
