Fencing in Milltimber

While its value as an aspect of garden design is often overlooked, fencing is an integral part of both the aesthetics and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more sturdy wooden fencing commonly being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the home typically utilises more compact and more decorative 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 coloured to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to maintain the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these varieties of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Because of the extra height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid in between each section to offer stability and stop the fence from blowing over or being broken in bad weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are produced 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.
