Fencing in Hartfield

Although its importance as an aspect of garden design is often ignored, fencing is a key part of both the aesthetics and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more secure wooden fencing usually being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the home generally utilises smaller and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Also, it is often stained to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally 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. Due to this, these kinds of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Because of the additional height, these fences often have concrete footings laid in between each panel to offer stability and stopping 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 produced from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
