Fencing in Langholm

Although its significance as an element of garden design is sometimes overlooked, fencing is an essential part of both the aesthetics and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more solid timber fencing frequently being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house usually makes use of 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. Also, it is often painted to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is typically 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. Due to this, these kinds of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Due to the added height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid between each section to provide strength which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being broken in bad weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from 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 eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
