Fencing in Stromeferry

Although its significance as an aspect of garden design is often disregarded, fencing is an essential 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 secure timber fencing usually being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the property typically makes use of 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. Also, it is often painted to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally used for privacy and to maintain the borders of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these styles of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Because of the increased height, these fences often have concrete footings laid in between each panel to provide stability and stop the fence from blowing over or being ruined in high winds. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are produced from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
