Fencing in Woodhall Spa

While its importance as an element of garden design is sometimes disregarded, fencing is a vital part of both the appearance and usefulness of your garden. Garden fencing tends to differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more solid timber fencing typically being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the house often employs smaller and more attractive fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Also, it is often coloured to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is generally 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. Because of this, these varieties of fences are roughly 6 feet high and use wooden slats without gaps in between. Because of the extra height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid between each panel to offer strength which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being broken in poor weather. Garden fencing panels are generally made of wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
