Fencing in Herefordshire

While its importance as an aspect of garden design is sometimes ignored, fencing is an integral part of both the aesthetics and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more tough timber fencing generally being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house often makes use of smaller and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. It is also often stained to enhance its ornamental 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. Due to this, these varieties of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Because of the extra height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid in between each section to offer security preventing the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in bad weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are produced from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
