Fencing in South Croydon

Although its significance as an aspect of garden design is sometimes neglected, fencing is an essential part of both the appearance and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more sturdy wooden fencing usually being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the house often features smaller and more attractive 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 stained to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is typically 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. Due to this, these sorts of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Because of the additional height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid between each section to offer stability which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being ruined in bad weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are produced 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.
