Fencing in Yarmouth

Although its significance as an aspect of garden design is often overlooked, fencing is an essential part of both the appearance and useability of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and back of properties, with taller and more substantial wooden fencing commonly being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the home usually employs more compact and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to feature a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Additionally, it is often stained to enhance its decorative effect. Fencing in the back garden is typically used for privacy and to maintain the borders 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 without spaces in between. Because of the additional height, these fences typically have concrete footings laid between each section to provide strength preventing the fence from blowing over or being broken in high winds. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either timber, stone, or concrete. Recently, fence panels have started to be manufactured from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
