Fencing in Much Hadham

Although its importance as an aspect of garden design is sometimes overlooked, fencing is an essential part of both the aesthetics and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more substantial timber fencing generally being used in the rear garden, while the front of the house typically makes use of smaller sized and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have 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 protect the borders 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 without spaces in between. Due to the increased height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid in between each panel to offer security and stop the fence from blowing over or being ruined in high winds. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
