Fencing in Moor Row

While its value as an element of garden design is sometimes neglected, fencing is a key part of both the appearance and useability of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more secure timber fencing usually being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the home usually features smaller sized and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often stained to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally 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. Due to this, these styles of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Due to the added height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid between each panel to offer security and stopping the fence from blowing over or being damaged in poor weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are made from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
