Fencing in Munlochy

While its value as an aspect of garden design is sometimes neglected, fencing is an essential part of both the appearance and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more solid wood fencing commonly being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the home typically makes use of smaller sized and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Also, it is often coloured to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is typically used for privacy and to maintain 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 varieties of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Because of the added height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid in between each panel to provide stability preventing the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in bad weather. 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 made of heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
