Fencing in Gwent

Although its value as an element of garden design is sometimes ignored, fencing is a vital part of both the aesthetics and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more secure wooden fencing commonly being used in the rear garden, while the front of the property typically employs smaller and more ornamental 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 improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to protect the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these kinds of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Due to the increased height, these fences often have concrete footings laid in between each section to provide security which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being broken in high winds. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are made from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
