Fencing in Whitehaven

Although its importance as an aspect of garden design is sometimes neglected, 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 taller and more secure wooden fencing generally being used in the rear garden, while the front of the house often features smaller sized and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Also, it is often coloured to improve 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. Due to the additional height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid in between each section to offer strength preventing the fence from blowing over or being damaged in high winds. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are manufactured from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
