Fencing in Kelty

While its significance as an element of garden design is often ignored, fencing is a key part of both the aesthetics and useability of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more substantial wood fencing usually being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the property often makes use of smaller sized and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Also, it is often stained to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to preserve the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these sorts of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Because of the additional height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid in between each section to offer stability and prevent the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
