Fencing in Warwickshire

While its significance as an aspect of garden design is often neglected, fencing is an integral 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 solid wood fencing frequently being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house generally utilises smaller and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. It is also often painted to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is typically used for privacy and to protect the boundaries 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 approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Due to the added height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid between each panel to provide strength and stopping the fence from blowing over or being broken in poor weather. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
