Fencing in Lochgelly

While its importance as an element of garden design is often overlooked, fencing is a key part of both the appearance and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more sturdy wood fencing usually being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the home typically employs more compact and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. It is also often stained to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to preserve 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 varieties of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Because of the added height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid in between each panel to provide strength 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 panels are produced from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
