Fencing in Rutland

While its significance as an element of garden design is sometimes overlooked, fencing is an essential part of both the appearance and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more solid wooden fencing usually being used in the rear garden, while the front of the property generally employs smaller sized and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often stained to enhance 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. Because of this, these varieties of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Because of the added height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid between each panel to offer strength and prevent the fence from blowing over or being ruined in bad weather. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections 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.
