Fencing in Tenterden

Although its significance as an aspect of garden design is sometimes ignored, fencing is an essential part of both the appearance and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more sturdy wooden fencing generally being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the property usually employs smaller and more decorative 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 painted to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to protect the borders 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 roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Because of the additional height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid in between each panel to provide stability and stopping the fence from blowing over or being ruined in poor weather. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are manufactured from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
