Fencing in Leigh

Although its value as an element of garden design is sometimes disregarded, fencing is an integral part of both the appearance and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more solid wooden fencing frequently being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the home often utilises more compact 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 stained to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is commonly used for privacy and to preserve the borders of a garden, as well as to keep domestic pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these varieties of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Because of the extra height, these fences often have concrete footings laid in between each panel to offer stability and stopping the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in high winds. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are manufactured from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
