Fencing in Ormskirk

Although its significance as an element of garden design is sometimes ignored, fencing is a key part of both the appearance and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more sturdy wood fencing commonly being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the house often utilises smaller sized and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. It is also often coloured to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to preserve the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these varieties of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Due to the extra height, these fences often have concrete footings laid in between each panel to provide security and prevent the fence from blowing over or being damaged in high winds. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
