Fencing in Montacute

While its importance as an element of garden design is sometimes disregarded, fencing is an essential part of both the appearance and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more strong timber fencing frequently being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house generally utilises smaller and more attractive 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 enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to protect the boundaries 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 around 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Due to the increased height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid between each panel to provide stability which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being broken in high winds. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels 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.
