Fencing in Hartlepool

While its value as an element of garden design is often ignored, fencing is a key part of both the aesthetics and useability of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more sturdy wooden fencing usually being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the property generally utilises smaller sized and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Also, it is often painted to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to preserve 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 types of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Due to the increased height, these fences often have concrete footings laid in between each section to offer security and stop the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in high winds. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
