Fencing in Kinross

While its value as an aspect of garden design is often ignored, fencing is an integral part of both the appearance and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more strong timber fencing usually being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the home typically features smaller and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often stained to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to preserve the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. For this reason, these sorts of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Due to the additional height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid between each section to provide stability and stopping the fence from blowing over or being damaged in high winds. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are produced from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
