Fencing in Kinlochleven

While its significance as an aspect of garden design is often neglected, fencing is an essential part of both the appearance and useability of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more tough wooden fencing generally being used in the rear garden, while the front of the house generally utilises smaller and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Also, it is often stained to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is typically used for privacy and to maintain the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep household 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 without spaces in between. Due to the increased height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid between each panel to offer strength which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being ruined in poor weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
