Fencing in Wishaw

Although its value as an aspect of garden design is often ignored, fencing is a key part of both the aesthetics and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more secure wooden fencing generally being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the home generally utilises more compact and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large gaps 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 maintain the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. For this reason, these varieties of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Due to the added height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid between each panel to provide strength and stopping the fence from blowing over or being damaged in poor weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are produced from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
