Fencing in Inverness

Although its significance as an aspect of garden design is often neglected, fencing is a key part of both the appearance and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more tough timber fencing frequently being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the home generally utilises more compact and more ornamental 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 coloured to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally 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. For this reason, these sorts of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Because of the increased height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid between each section to provide security and prevent the fence from blowing over or being ruined in poor weather. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are manufactured from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
