Fencing in Harleston

While its value as an element of garden design is sometimes overlooked, fencing is a key part of both the appearance and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more sturdy wooden fencing frequently being used in the rear garden, while the front of the home generally employs smaller sized and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Also, it is often coloured to improve 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 pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these types of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Due to the additional height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid between each panel to provide stability and prevent the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in poor weather. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are manufactured from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
