Fencing in Stockton-On-Tees

Although its value as an element of garden design is often neglected, fencing is an integral part of both the aesthetics and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more tough wooden fencing frequently being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house usually features more compact and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often painted to improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is commonly used for privacy and to maintain the borders 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 around 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Due to the extra height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid in between each section to provide security preventing the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in poor weather. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
