Fencing in Kirriemuir

While its value as an element of garden design is often overlooked, fencing is a key part of both the appearance and useability of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more strong timber fencing typically being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the property usually makes use of 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. Also, it is often painted to enhance 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 pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. For this reason, these varieties of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Due to the additional height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid in between each section to provide security and prevent the fence from blowing over or being ruined in high winds. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are made from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
