Fencing in Windsor

Although its value as an aspect of garden design is often disregarded, fencing is an essential part of both the appearance and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and rear of properties, with higher and more solid timber fencing commonly being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the property usually makes use of smaller and more decorative 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 coloured to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is commonly used for privacy and to protect 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 around 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Because of the added height, these fences generally have concrete footings laid between each panel to provide strength and prevent the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in bad weather. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are manufactured from either wood, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
