Fencing in Kinross-shire

Although its value as an element of garden design is often neglected, fencing is an essential part of both the appearance and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more sturdy timber fencing commonly being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the home usually features smaller sized and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often painted to improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally used for privacy and to maintain the borders of a garden, as well as to keep household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these kinds of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Because of the additional height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid in between each section to offer stability and stop the fence from blowing over or being ruined in high winds. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
