Fencing in Perthshire

While its value as an element of garden design is sometimes overlooked, fencing is a key part of both the aesthetics and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more sturdy timber fencing typically being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the property generally features more compact 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 painted to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to protect the borders of a garden, as well as to keep household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these sorts of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Because of the extra height, these fences often have concrete footings laid in between each panel to provide security and stopping the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in high winds. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are produced from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
