Fencing in Williton

Although its value as an aspect of garden design is sometimes overlooked, fencing is an essential part of both the aesthetics and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more secure timber fencing usually being used in the rear garden, while the front of the property usually makes use of 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. Additionally, it is often stained to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to protect the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these varieties of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Because of the increased height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid in between each section to provide security and stopping the fence from blowing over or being ruined in high winds. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are manufactured from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be constructed from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
