Fencing in Newbridge

Although its significance as an aspect of garden design is sometimes overlooked, fencing is an integral part of both the appearance and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more sturdy wooden fencing generally being used in the rear garden, while the front of the house generally employs more compact and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often painted to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is commonly used for privacy and to protect the borders of a garden, as well as to keep household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these styles of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Due to the additional height, these fences often have concrete footings laid in between each section to provide security which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being damaged in bad weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are manufactured from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
