Fencing in Holmrook

While its importance as an element of garden design is often neglected, fencing is an essential part of both the appearance and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more substantial timber fencing typically being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the house generally makes use of smaller sized and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Also, it is often coloured to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally 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 varieties of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Due to the additional height, these fences often have concrete footings laid between each panel to offer strength preventing the fence from blowing over or being ruined in poor weather. Garden fencing panels are generally made of 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 environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
