Fencing in Slough

Although its importance as an aspect of garden design is often overlooked, fencing is an integral part of both the aesthetics and useability of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more tough timber fencing typically being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the house often employs smaller sized and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Also, it is often stained to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to preserve the borders of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these sorts 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 in between each section to provide stability which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being broken 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. Recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
