Fencing in Ilford

Although its value as an aspect of garden design is often neglected, fencing is an integral part of both the appearance and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more secure timber fencing typically being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the property typically features 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 coloured to improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is commonly 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. Because of this, these styles of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Due to the added height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid between each section to offer stability and stopping the fence from blowing over or being damaged in high winds. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are made from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
