Fencing in Treharris

Although its value 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 rear of properties, with higher and more sturdy timber fencing generally being used in the rear garden, while the front of the house typically features smaller sized and more decorative 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 ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally used for privacy and to preserve 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 types of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Due to the increased height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid between each section to offer stability and prevent the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in poor weather. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are produced from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
