Fencing in Porth

Although its value as an aspect of garden design is often neglected, fencing is an integral part of both the aesthetics and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more tough timber fencing frequently being used in the rear garden, while the front of the home usually makes use of smaller and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. It is also 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 household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. For this reason, these styles of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Because of the increased height, these fences often have concrete footings laid between each section to provide stability and stopping the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in bad weather. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are manufactured from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
