Fencing in Loanhead

Although its value as an element of garden design is often disregarded, fencing is a vital part of both the appearance and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more sturdy wooden fencing typically being used in the rear garden, while the front of the house typically makes use of smaller sized and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. It is also often stained to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to maintain the borders of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these types of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Due to the added height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid between each panel to offer strength and stop the fence from blowing over or being ruined in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are manufactured 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.
