Fencing in Renfrewshire

Although its importance as an aspect of garden design is often overlooked, fencing is a key part of both the aesthetics and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more sturdy timber fencing usually being used in the rear garden, while the front of the home typically utilises smaller sized and more ornamental 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 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 pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these sorts of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Due to the added height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid in between each panel to offer stability preventing the fence from blowing over or being damaged in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
