Fencing in Truro

While its value as an element of garden design is often overlooked, fencing is an essential part of both the aesthetics and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more secure wood fencing commonly being used in the rear garden, while the front of the property often makes use of smaller sized and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often coloured to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally used for privacy and to protect the borders of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these styles of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Due to the additional height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid between each panel to offer security and stop the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are produced from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
