Fencing in Tipton

Although its importance as an element of garden design is often overlooked, fencing is a key part of both the appearance and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more substantial timber fencing frequently being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the house typically employs smaller and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often painted to improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally used for privacy and to protect the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these kinds of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Because of the increased height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid between each panel to provide strength preventing the fence from blowing over or being ruined in high winds. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are made from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
