Fencing in Nairn

Although its value as an aspect of garden design is sometimes overlooked, fencing is an integral part of both the aesthetics and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more secure timber fencing frequently being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the property often employs 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. It is also often stained to improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to maintain the borders of a garden, as well as to keep household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. For this reason, these styles of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Due to the added height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid in between each section to provide security and stop the fence from blowing over or being broken in poor weather. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are manufactured 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.
