Fencing in Staffordshire

While its importance as an element of garden design is sometimes disregarded, fencing is an essential part of both the aesthetics and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more sturdy wood fencing commonly being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the home often features more compact and more attractive 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 improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to protect the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these types of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Due to the increased height, these fences often have concrete footings laid between each section to provide strength and prevent the fence from blowing over or being ruined in high winds. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
