Fencing in Peterculter

Although its importance as an aspect of garden design is sometimes overlooked, fencing is a vital part of both the appearance and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more strong wood fencing typically being used in the rear garden, while the front of the home typically utilises smaller and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often painted to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently 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 types of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Because of the added height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid in between each panel to offer strength which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being damaged in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are produced from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
