Fencing in Queenborough

Although its significance as an aspect of garden design is often neglected, fencing is a vital part of both the appearance and useability of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more sturdy timber fencing typically being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house often features smaller and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. It is also often painted to improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently 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 kinds of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Due to the increased height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid between each panel to offer strength and stopping the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are made from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
