Fencing in Maidstone

Although its importance as an element of garden design is sometimes neglected, fencing is an integral part of both the appearance and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more substantial wood fencing generally being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house usually makes use of 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 coloured to improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to preserve the borders of a garden, as well as to keep domestic pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. For this reason, these styles of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Because of the extra height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid between each panel to provide strength and stop the fence from blowing over or being ruined in high winds. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are made from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
