Fencing in Southwell

Although its importance as an aspect of garden design is sometimes ignored, fencing is an integral part of both the appearance and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more sturdy wood fencing usually being used in the rear garden, while the front of the property typically makes use of 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 coloured to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally used for privacy and to preserve the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep domestic 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 spaces in between. Because of the additional height, these fences often have concrete footings laid in between each panel to provide strength and stop the fence from blowing over or being broken in poor weather. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
