Fencing in Tonbridge

While its significance as an element of garden design is often disregarded, fencing is an essential part of both the aesthetics and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more substantial wooden fencing generally being used in the rear garden, while the front of the property usually employs smaller sized and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. It is also often painted to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally used for privacy and to maintain the boundaries 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 gaps in between. Due to the additional height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid between each section to provide security preventing the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are made from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
