Fencing in Watton

Although its value as an aspect of garden design is sometimes ignored, fencing is an essential part of both the aesthetics and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more sturdy wooden fencing frequently being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house typically features more compact and more ornamental 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 painted to improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to protect the borders 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. Because of the added height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid in between each section to provide stability and prevent the fence from blowing over or being ruined in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are produced from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
