Fencing in South Molton

Although its value as an aspect of garden design is sometimes overlooked, fencing is an essential part of both the aesthetics and useability of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more secure wooden fencing typically being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house often features more compact and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often stained to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally 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. Due to this, these kinds of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Due to the additional height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid between each panel to provide security and prevent the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in poor weather. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
