Fencing in Ruislip

While its importance as an element of garden design is often overlooked, fencing is a vital part of both the aesthetics and useability 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 features smaller sized and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. It is also often painted to improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is typically 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. Because of this, these kinds of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Due to the increased height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid between each section to provide stability and prevent the fence from blowing over or being ruined in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
