Fencing in Lasswade

While its value as an aspect of garden design is sometimes overlooked, fencing is a vital part of both the appearance and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more tough wooden fencing usually being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the house typically utilises smaller and more ornamental 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 typically used for privacy and to protect 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 sorts of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Due to the increased height, these fences often have concrete footings laid between each panel to provide security preventing the fence from blowing over or being broken in poor weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
