Fencing in Hampshire

Although its value as an aspect of garden design is often neglected, fencing is an integral part of both the aesthetics and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more solid wood fencing commonly being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the property usually utilises smaller and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Also, it is often painted to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to maintain the borders of a garden, as well as to keep household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these styles of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Due to the added height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid between each panel to provide security and stopping the fence from blowing over or being ruined in poor weather. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are produced from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
