Fencing in Ingatestone

While its significance as an element of garden design is sometimes neglected, fencing is a vital part of both the appearance and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more sturdy timber fencing usually being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the home usually makes use of smaller and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. It is also often stained to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is commonly used for privacy and to protect the borders 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 approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Due to the increased height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid between each section to provide strength preventing the fence from blowing over or being broken in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are produced from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
