Fencing in Muir of Ord

While its importance as an element of garden design is often overlooked, fencing is an essential part of both the appearance and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more solid timber fencing typically being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the house often employs smaller and more ornamental 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 frequently used for privacy and to preserve the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep domestic pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these types of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Due to the extra height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid in between each section to offer security and stop the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in high winds. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from 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.
