Fencing in Sittingbourne

Although its importance as an aspect of garden design is often disregarded, fencing is an integral part of both the aesthetics and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more tough wooden fencing usually being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the house usually employs smaller sized 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 stained to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to maintain the borders of a garden, as well as to keep domestic pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these varieties of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Due to the extra height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid between each section to provide stability and stop the fence from blowing over or being broken in high winds. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
