Fencing in Merthyr Tydfil

Although its importance as an aspect of garden design is sometimes ignored, fencing is a key part of both the appearance and useability of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more sturdy wood fencing generally being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the home usually features more compact and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Also, it is often stained to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to preserve 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 kinds of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Due to the added height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid in between each section to offer 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 made from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
