Fencing in Lochearnhead

While its value as an aspect of garden design is sometimes disregarded, fencing is a vital part of both the appearance and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more solid timber fencing commonly being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the home often employs smaller sized and more attractive 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 painted to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to protect the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. For this reason, these kinds of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Because of the increased height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid between each panel to offer stability and prevent the fence from blowing over or being broken in poor weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are produced from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
