Fencing in North Berwick

While its importance as an aspect of garden design is sometimes disregarded, fencing is a key part of both the aesthetics and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more secure wooden fencing typically being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the house typically employs smaller and more ornamental 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 coloured to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to maintain the borders of a garden, as well as to keep domestic pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. For this reason, these types of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Because of the additional height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid between each section to offer strength preventing the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are produced from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
