Fencing in Yeovil

Although its significance as an aspect of garden design is sometimes neglected, fencing is a key part of both the aesthetics and useability of your garden. Garden fencing will differ between the front and rear of properties, with taller and more substantial wood fencing usually being placed in the rear garden, while the front of the property often employs smaller and more ornamental fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have 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 often used for privacy and to preserve the borders of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. Due to this, these styles of fences are around 6 feet high and use wooden slats without spaces in between. Because of the increased height, these fences often have concrete footings laid in between each panel to offer strength which will help prevent the fence from blowing over or being ruined in poor weather. Garden fencing sections are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the panels are made from either wood, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made of heavily recycled and sustainable composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
