Fencing in Kyle

Although its value as an element of garden design is often neglected, fencing is an integral part of both the appearance and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more secure wooden fencing generally being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the home typically features smaller and more ornamental 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 decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally used for privacy and to protect 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 around 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Because of the extra height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid between each section to offer stability and prevent the fence from blowing over or being damaged in high winds. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are produced from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
