Fencing in Redcar

While its significance as an element of garden design is sometimes ignored, fencing is a vital 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 secure wooden fencing typically being used in the rear garden, while the front of the property generally employs smaller and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. It is also often stained to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is commonly used for privacy and to maintain the borders of a garden, as well as to keep household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. For this reason, these sorts of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Because of the extra height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid between each section to offer security and stopping the fence from blowing over or being broken in high winds. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are manufactured from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
