Fencing in Polegate

Although its value as an element of garden design is often neglected, fencing is an integral part of both the aesthetics and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more solid wooden fencing generally being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house typically features 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. Additionally, it is often painted to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to preserve the borders of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these styles of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Because of the additional height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid between each section to offer stability which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
