Fencing in Ramsgate

While its significance as an aspect of garden design is sometimes ignored, fencing is an essential part of both the appearance and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more tough wooden fencing generally being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the house typically features smaller sized 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 stained to improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to preserve 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 kinds of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Because of the increased height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid in between each panel to offer stability which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in poor weather. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
