Fencing in Stafford

Although its value as an element of garden design is sometimes ignored, fencing is a vital part of both the aesthetics and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more tough timber fencing typically being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house generally employs smaller sized and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often coloured to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to maintain the borders of a garden, as well as to keep domestic pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these varieties of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Due to the additional height, these fences often have concrete footings laid between each section to offer security and stop the fence from blowing over or being damaged in bad weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are produced from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
