Fencing in Kendal

Although its importance as an element of garden design is sometimes ignored, fencing is an integral part of both the aesthetics and useability of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more substantial wooden fencing commonly being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the house often employs more compact and more attractive 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 decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to protect 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 styles of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Because of the increased height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid between each section to offer stability preventing the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in bad weather. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
