Fencing in Wandsworth

While its value as an aspect of garden design is sometimes neglected, fencing is an integral part of both the aesthetics and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more solid wood fencing commonly being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the home generally features more compact and more decorative 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 commonly 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. Due to this, these types of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Because of the extra height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid in between each section to provide security and stop the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in high winds. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
