Fencing in Portree

Although its significance as an element of garden design is sometimes disregarded, 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 solid wooden fencing commonly being used in the rear garden, while the front of the home often utilises smaller and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature 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 often used for privacy and to preserve 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 types of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Due to the added height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid in between each section to offer strength and stopping the fence from blowing over or being damaged in poor weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
