Fencing in Stourbridge

Although its importance as an element of garden design is sometimes ignored, fencing is an essential part of both the aesthetics and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more solid wooden fencing usually being used in the rear garden, while the front of the home usually employs smaller sized and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. It is also often stained to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to maintain the borders of a garden, as well as to keep domestic pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. For this reason, these sorts of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Due to the additional height, these fences often have concrete footings laid in between each panel to offer stability 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 made from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
