Fencing in Romford

While its importance as an aspect of garden design is sometimes ignored, fencing is an essential part of both the appearance and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more secure wood fencing generally being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the property often utilises smaller and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Also, it is often painted to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to maintain the borders of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these varieties of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Because of the additional height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid between each panel to provide stability and prevent the fence from blowing over or being broken in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are manufactured from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
