Fencing in Hemel Hempstead

Although its value as an element of garden design is often ignored, fencing is a vital part of both the aesthetics and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more tough wood fencing generally being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house typically utilises smaller and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often coloured to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally 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. Due to this, these kinds of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Due to the extra height, these fences often have concrete footings laid between each panel to offer strength and stop the fence from blowing over or being broken in high winds. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
