Fencing in Preston

Although its importance as an aspect of garden design is often overlooked, fencing is an integral part of both the aesthetics and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more secure wooden fencing generally being used in the rear garden, while the front of the property typically employs smaller sized 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 coloured to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is commonly used for privacy and to maintain 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 kinds of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Due to the added height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid in between each section to offer security 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 panels are made from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
