Fencing in Wigan

Although its value as an aspect of garden design is often ignored, fencing is an essential part of both the appearance and practicality of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more sturdy wooden fencing usually being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the home generally employs smaller sized and more attractive 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 painted to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is often used for privacy and to maintain the borders of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these styles of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Due to the additional height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid in between each section to provide security which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in bad weather. Garden fencing panels 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 constructed from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
