Fencing in Moffat

While its importance as an element of garden design is sometimes neglected, fencing is an essential part of both the aesthetics and useability of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more substantial timber fencing commonly being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the home often employs smaller and more ornamental 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 stained to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is commonly used for privacy and to preserve the borders of a garden, as well as to keep household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. For this reason, these styles of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Because of the additional height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid between each section to offer strength and prevent the fence from blowing over or being broken in poor weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are made 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.
