Fencing in Harlow

While its value as an aspect of garden design is sometimes disregarded, fencing is a key part of both the appearance and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more substantial wood fencing frequently being placed 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 feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. It is also often painted to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is commonly 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 sorts of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Due to the increased height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid between each section to offer security and stop 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 timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
