Fencing in Motherwell

Although its significance 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 is likely to differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more tough wood fencing typically 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 spaces between the wooden slats. It is also often coloured to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is often 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. For this reason, these kinds of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Due to the increased height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid in between each section to provide strength and stop the fence from blowing over or being damaged in bad 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 environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
