Fencing in West Malling

While its value as an aspect of garden design is sometimes 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 taller and more solid wood fencing frequently being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house generally makes use of smaller and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. It is also often coloured to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to maintain the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep domestic pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these types of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Due to the added height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid in between each section to provide strength and stop the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in high winds. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are produced from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
