Fencing in Pewsey

Although its significance as an aspect of garden design is often disregarded, fencing is a vital 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 substantial wood fencing typically being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the home usually utilises smaller and more decorative 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 stained to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to maintain the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. For this reason, these varieties of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Due to the extra height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid between each section to offer stability which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being damaged in poor weather. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are manufactured from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
