Fencing in Trowbridge

While its importance as an element of garden design is sometimes disregarded, fencing is a vital part of both the aesthetics and useability of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more secure timber fencing frequently being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the property often features smaller sized and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. It is also often coloured to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to preserve the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. For this reason, these sorts of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Due to the increased height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid between each panel to provide strength and stop the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in high winds. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are produced from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
