Fencing in Loughborough

Although its value as an element of garden design is sometimes ignored, fencing is a key part of both the aesthetics and useability of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more strong wooden fencing commonly being used in the rear garden, while the front of the property often utilises smaller 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 painted to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally 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. Due to this, these kinds of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Because of the added height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid in between each panel to offer security and 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 made from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
