Fencing in Ryde

Although its value as an element of garden design is often ignored, fencing is a key part of both the aesthetics and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more strong wooden fencing generally being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the property typically utilises more compact and more decorative 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 coloured 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. For this reason, these kinds of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Due to the added height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid between each section to offer strength and stop the fence from blowing over or being damaged in high winds. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
