Fencing in Hornchurch

Although its significance as an element of garden design is often neglected, fencing is a vital part of both the aesthetics and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more substantial wood fencing usually being used in the rear garden, while the front of the property often makes use of more compact and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Also, it is often stained to improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to maintain the borders of a garden, as well as to keep household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these types of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Because of the increased height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid in between each section to offer stability preventing the fence from blowing over or being broken in poor weather. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are produced from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
