Fencing in Kingussie

While its value as an element of garden design is often overlooked, fencing is an integral part of both the aesthetics and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more secure timber fencing typically being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the house typically employs smaller and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. It is also often coloured to improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to preserve the borders of a garden, as well as to keep domestic pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. For this reason, these types of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Because of the additional height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid in between each panel to offer stability which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in bad weather. Garden fencing panels 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.
