Fencing in Leicester

Although its importance as an aspect of garden design is sometimes ignored, fencing is a key part of both the aesthetics and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more secure wooden fencing generally being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the property generally makes use of more compact and more attractive 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 coloured to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently 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 varieties of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Because of the increased height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid in between each panel to offer stability which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being damaged in high winds. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are made from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
