Fencing in Uxbridge

Although its significance as an aspect of garden design is sometimes disregarded, fencing is an essential part of both the aesthetics and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more tough timber fencing typically being used in the rear garden, while the front of the home usually features smaller sized and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. It is also often painted to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is typically used for privacy and to maintain the borders 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 around 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Because of the additional height, these fences often have concrete footings laid between each panel to provide security and prevent the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in high winds. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are produced from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
