Fencing in Holt

Although its value as an element of garden design is sometimes neglected, fencing is an essential part of both the appearance and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more secure timber fencing typically being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the property typically makes use of smaller and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often painted 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. Because of this, these kinds of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Due to the increased height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid in between each panel to offer strength preventing the fence from blowing over or being damaged in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
