Fencing in Oakham

Although its significance as an element of garden design is often overlooked, fencing is an essential part of both the aesthetics and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more secure timber fencing frequently being used in the rear garden, while the front of the house generally features more compact and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. It is also often stained to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is typically used for privacy and to preserve 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 kinds of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Due to the extra height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid in between each panel to provide stability and stopping the fence from blowing over or being ruined in poor weather. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
