Fencing in Milnthorpe

While its value as an element of garden design is sometimes neglected, fencing is a vital part of both the appearance and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more substantial wood fencing commonly being used in the rear garden, while the front of the house often features more compact and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. It is also often painted to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is typically used for privacy and to preserve the borders 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 around 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Because of the extra height, these fences often have concrete footings laid between each panel to provide security and prevent the fence from blowing over or being ruined in high winds. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
