Fencing in Isle of Tiree

While its value as an element of garden design is sometimes ignored, fencing is an integral part of both the appearance and useability of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more secure timber fencing usually being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the property generally 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. Additionally, it is often painted to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to protect the borders of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these types of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Due to the extra height, these fences often have concrete footings laid in between each section to provide security which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in bad weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from 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 sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
