Fencing in Radlett

Although its value as an element of garden design is often neglected, fencing is a key part of both the aesthetics and useability of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more sturdy timber fencing frequently being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the home usually employs more compact and more decorative 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 stained to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to protect the boundaries 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 about 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Because of the added height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid between each section to provide stability which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being broken in high winds. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are produced from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
