Fencing in North Yorkshire

Although its value as an aspect of garden design is sometimes disregarded, fencing is an essential part of both the appearance and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more sturdy wooden fencing usually being used in the rear garden, while the front of the house often employs smaller sized and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Also, it is often painted to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is commonly 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. Due to this, these types of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Due to the increased height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid in between each section to provide strength and stop the fence from blowing over or being ruined 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 manufactured from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
