Fencing in Hindhead

Although its importance as an aspect of garden design is often ignored, fencing is a key part of both the aesthetics and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more sturdy timber fencing generally being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house usually features smaller sized 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 painted to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally used for privacy and to maintain the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. For this reason, these kinds of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Due to the added height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid between each panel to provide strength preventing the fence from blowing over or being broken in poor weather. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
