Fencing in Highbridge

While its importance as an aspect of garden design is often disregarded, fencing is an essential part of both the appearance and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more sturdy wooden fencing commonly being used in the rear garden, while the front of the property generally makes use of more compact and more attractive 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 improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally used for privacy and to preserve the borders of a garden, as well as to keep domestic pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. For this reason, these styles of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Due to the increased height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid in between each section to offer stability and stopping the fence from blowing over or being damaged in poor weather. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
