Fencing in Stirling

While its importance as an element of garden design is often disregarded, fencing is a key part of both the aesthetics and useability of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more sturdy timber fencing commonly being used in the rear garden, while the front of the property generally employs 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 coloured to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is commonly used for privacy and to maintain the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these styles of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Due to the extra height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid between each section to offer security which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being broken in bad weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from 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 environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
