Fencing in Pentre

While its value as an aspect of garden design is often overlooked, fencing is an essential part of both the appearance and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more tough wooden fencing typically being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the home generally makes use of smaller sized and more decorative 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 improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to preserve the borders of a garden, as well as to keep household 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 with no gaps in between. Because of the additional height, these fences often have concrete footings laid in between each section to offer stability and prevent the fence from blowing over or being ruined in high winds. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are made from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
