Fencing in Lincoln

Although its importance as an aspect of garden design is often overlooked, fencing is an integral part of both the aesthetics and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more strong timber fencing commonly being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house usually utilises smaller sized and more attractive 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 painted to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is commonly used for privacy and to preserve 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 varieties of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Due to the additional height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid in between each section to offer stability which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being ruined in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are made from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
