Fencing in Newbury

Although its significance as an element of garden design is sometimes disregarded, fencing is a key part of both the aesthetics and useability of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more substantial wooden fencing commonly being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the house usually features smaller sized and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Also, it is often stained to improve its ornamental 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. Due to this, these kinds of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Because of the added height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid between each section to offer stability and stopping the fence from blowing over or being ruined in bad weather. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are produced from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
