Fencing in Steyning

While its significance as an element of garden design is often overlooked, fencing is a key part of both the appearance and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more substantial wood fencing generally being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the property generally utilises smaller sized and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Also, it is often painted to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is commonly used for privacy and to preserve the borders of a garden, as well as to keep domestic pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these types of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Due to the added height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid in between each panel to offer stability which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being damaged in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally made of 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 sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
