Fencing in Wedmore

While its significance as an aspect of garden design is often disregarded, fencing is a vital part of both the appearance and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more sturdy wooden fencing generally being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house typically features 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. Additionally, it is often coloured to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is typically used for privacy and to preserve the borders of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these styles of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Due to the increased height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid between each panel to offer strength and stopping 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 manufactured from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
