Fencing in Manningtree

Although its importance as an aspect of garden design is often neglected, fencing is a key part of both the aesthetics and useability of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more strong wood fencing typically being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house often makes use of smaller and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often painted to improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally used for privacy and to protect the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these sorts of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Because of the added height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid in between each panel to offer strength and stopping the fence from blowing over or being broken in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
