Fencing in Herne Bay

While its importance as an aspect of garden design is often disregarded, fencing is an essential part of both the appearance and useability of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more secure wood fencing usually being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the home typically makes use of smaller sized and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often painted to improve 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 pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these varieties of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Due to the added height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid in between each panel to offer security and stop the fence from blowing over or being ruined in poor weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are produced from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
