Fencing in Treorchy

While its value as an aspect of garden design is often overlooked, fencing is an essential part of both the appearance and useability of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more strong wooden fencing generally being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the home typically makes use of smaller sized and more ornamental 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 stained to improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to maintain the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these styles of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Because of the additional height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid in between each panel to offer security and stopping the fence from blowing over or being broken in high winds. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are produced 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.
