Fencing in Peterborough

Although its value as an aspect of garden design is sometimes neglected, fencing is a key 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 sturdy wood fencing generally being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the property generally employs smaller and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Also, it is often coloured to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is typically 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 kinds of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Due to the additional height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid between each section to offer strength and prevent the fence from blowing over or being broken in bad weather. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
