Fencing in Woodford Green

While its value as an element of garden design is sometimes neglected, fencing is an integral part of both the aesthetics and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more strong wood fencing generally being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the home typically makes use of smaller sized and more attractive 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 painted to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally 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. For this reason, these sorts of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Because of the extra height, these fences commonly have concrete footings laid between each panel to provide security preventing the fence from blowing over or being broken in bad weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are produced from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and environmentally friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
