Fencing in Mid Glamorgan

Although its importance as an element of garden design is often 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 back of properties, with higher and more strong wood fencing generally being used in the rear garden, while the front of the property typically makes use of smaller and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Also, it is often coloured to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is commonly 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 types of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Because of the additional height, these fences often have concrete footings laid in between each section to provide stability and stop the fence from blowing over or being broken in high winds. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
