Fencing in Widnes

While its importance as an aspect of garden design is sometimes neglected, fencing is an essential part of both the appearance and useability of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more substantial wood fencing typically being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the home generally utilises smaller sized and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. It is also often stained to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently 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. For this reason, these kinds of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Due to the added height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid in between each section to offer strength preventing the fence from blowing over or being broken in poor weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are made from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
