Fencing in Lingfield

Although its importance as an element of garden design is often neglected, fencing is a vital part of both the appearance and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more substantial timber fencing usually being used in the rear garden, while the front of the house often employs more compact and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often painted to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is typically used for privacy and to maintain the borders of a garden, as well as to keep household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these kinds of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Because of the extra height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid in between each panel to offer security which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being ruined in poor weather. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are produced from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
