Fencing in Wick

While its significance as an aspect of garden design is often disregarded, fencing is a vital part of both the appearance and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more substantial wood fencing usually being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house often makes use of more compact and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large gaps between the wooden slats. Also, it is often stained to improve its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to preserve 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 around 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Because of the extra height, these fences often have concrete footings laid in between each panel to provide security and stop the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in poor weather. Garden fencing sections are generally made of wood. The posts in between the sections are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
