Fencing in Newton Stewart

While its significance as an element of garden design is often disregarded, fencing is a key part of both the appearance and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more substantial wood fencing usually being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the property typically makes use of smaller 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 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 household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these kinds of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Because of the additional height, these fences often have concrete footings laid in between each section to offer security preventing the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in high winds. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
