Fencing in Hinckley

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 will differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more substantial wood fencing commonly being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house generally utilises smaller and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Also, it is often stained to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is typically used for privacy and to preserve the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. For this reason, these types of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Because of the added height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid in between each panel to provide stability and prevent the fence from blowing over or being ruined in high winds. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are produced from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
