Fencing in Hatfield

Although its value as an aspect of garden design is often disregarded, fencing is an essential part of both the appearance and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more substantial wooden fencing frequently being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the home generally makes use of more compact and more ornamental 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 ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to protect 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 types of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Due to the additional height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid in between each panel to offer strength and stop the fence from blowing over or being ruined in bad weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are produced from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
