Fencing in Thornhill

Although its value as an aspect of garden design is sometimes overlooked, fencing is an essential part of both the aesthetics and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more solid timber fencing frequently being used in the rear garden, while the front of the house typically features smaller sized and more attractive 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 improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to protect the borders of a garden, as well as to keep household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these sorts of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Because of the extra height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid between each panel to offer stability and stop the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally made of 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 sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
