Fencing in Roybridge

While its value as an element of garden design is often disregarded, fencing is a key part of both the appearance and useability of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more solid timber fencing generally being used in the rear garden, while the front of the house often makes use of smaller and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Also, it is often coloured to improve its ornamental 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 sorts of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Because of the increased height, these fences often have concrete footings laid in between each section to offer strength preventing the fence from blowing over or being damaged in high winds. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
