Fencing in Smethwick

While its importance as an element of garden design is sometimes overlooked, fencing is a key part of both the appearance and useability of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more solid wooden fencing frequently being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the home generally makes use of more compact and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often painted to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to maintain the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep domestic pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these kinds of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Due to the added height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid in between each section to offer security and prevent the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are produced from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
