Fencing in Hammersmith and Fulham

While its value as an aspect of garden design is often disregarded, fencing is a vital part of both the aesthetics and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more tough wooden fencing usually being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house generally employs smaller and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often stained to improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is often 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. Due to this, these types of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Due to the extra height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid in between each section to provide security and stop the fence from blowing over or being broken in high winds. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
