Fencing in Stevenage

Although its value as an aspect of garden design is sometimes neglected, fencing is an integral part of both the appearance and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more sturdy timber fencing commonly being used in the rear garden, while the front of the property generally makes use of smaller and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Also, it is often painted to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently 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. Due to this, these kinds of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Due to the increased height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid in between each panel to provide security and prevent the fence from blowing over or being broken in poor weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are made from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
