Fencing in Wirral

Although its significance as an aspect of garden design is often ignored, fencing is an essential part of both the aesthetics and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing will likely differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more substantial wood fencing commonly being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the property often features more compact and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. It is also often coloured to improve its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is typically used for privacy and to maintain 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 styles of fences are approximately 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no spaces in between. Due to the added height, these fences often have concrete footings laid between each panel to provide stability and prevent the fence from blowing over or being ruined in high winds. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are manufactured from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
