Fencing in Merseyside

Although its significance as an aspect of garden design is often disregarded, fencing is an integral part of both the appearance and useability of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more secure wood fencing frequently being used in the rear garden, while the front of the property usually features smaller sized and more decorative 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 coloured to improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to protect the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep domestic pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these varieties of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Because of the increased height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid between each section to provide security preventing the fence from blowing over or being damaged in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are produced from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
