Fencing in Westerham

While its importance as an element of garden design is often ignored, fencing is a key part of both the appearance and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more secure timber fencing frequently being used in the rear garden, while the front of the property often utilises smaller sized and more decorative 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 enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to protect the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep domestic pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these sorts of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Because of the increased height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid in between each section to offer strength and stopping the fence from blowing over or being broken in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
