Fencing in Leyburn

While its significance as an element of garden design is often overlooked, fencing is a vital part of both the aesthetics and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more sturdy wooden fencing typically being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the home typically utilises smaller sized and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Also, it is often coloured to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally used for privacy and to preserve 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 without spaces in between. Because of the additional height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid in between each section to offer security and stop 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 made from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
