Fencing in Welwyn Garden City

Although its value as an aspect of garden design is often disregarded, fencing is an essential part of both the appearance and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more secure timber fencing generally being used in the rear garden, while the front of the house often employs more compact and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Also, it is often coloured to improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to preserve the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these sorts of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Due to the added height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid between each section to provide strength and stop the fence from blowing over or being broken in high winds. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
