Fencing in South Glamorgan

Although its importance as an element of garden design is sometimes disregarded, fencing is an integral part of both the appearance and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more secure timber fencing frequently being used in the rear garden, while the front of the home usually features more compact and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often stained to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to protect the borders of a garden, as well as to keep household 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 spaces in between. Because of the increased height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid in between each section to provide stability preventing the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in poor weather. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
