Fencing in Kirkcaldy

While its significance as an element of garden design is often ignored, fencing is a vital part of both the aesthetics and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more solid timber fencing typically being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the home usually employs smaller sized and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. It is also often stained to improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is commonly used for privacy and to maintain the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep domestic 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 with no gaps in between. Due to the extra height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid between each panel to offer stability and prevent the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are manufactured from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
