Fencing in Wells

While its importance as an aspect of garden design is sometimes disregarded, fencing is a vital part of both the aesthetics and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more solid wooden fencing typically being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the house typically utilises smaller sized and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. It is also often stained to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally used for privacy and to preserve the borders of a garden, as well as to keep domestic pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these types of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Because of the additional height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid between each section to offer stability and stop the fence from blowing over or being broken in bad weather. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
