Fencing in Woking

Although its value as an element of garden design is sometimes disregarded, fencing is an essential part of both the appearance and useability of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more substantial wood fencing generally being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the home usually makes use of smaller 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 stained 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 household pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Because of this, these types of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Due to the extra height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid between each section to provide security and stopping the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in high winds. 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 made of heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
