Fencing in Swadlincote

Although its importance as an element of garden design is sometimes disregarded, fencing is an essential part of both the aesthetics and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more solid wood fencing commonly being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the home typically features smaller 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 boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep domestic pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these varieties of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Due to the increased height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid in between each panel to provide strength and prevent the fence from blowing over or being broken in bad weather. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are produced from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
