Fencing in Horncastle

While its importance as an element of garden design is often overlooked, fencing is a vital part of both the aesthetics and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more substantial timber fencing typically being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the house generally features more compact and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often coloured to improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to protect 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 sorts of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Because of the additional height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid between each section to provide stability and stop the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in poor weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
