A quality fencing Kent comes with the right team of fencers. If you address a company renowned for building sturdy fences, you will not face difficulties in choosing a type of fencing material that is appropriate for the house and garden that you own. As an example, wooden fences are great for households, while aluminium fences, for companies. So the first rule in choosing the best fencing supplies Maidstone is to contact the right company for this task.

Wood is the structural tissue found within trees. It is extensively used in constructions, being also used for manufacturing furniture. Other uses of wood are for making weapons, interior and exterior decorations, and paper. Wood fences are usually treated with specific substances to help the wood resist better to the elements and humidity. When the air temperature is high, wood begins to expand, and when the temperature is low, to contract. In order to prevent that, wood is treated.

The next very common material used for making fences does not feature this behaviour, being highly resistant to extreme temperatures. It is about vinyl, a material that is also much easier to maintain. In fact, you do not even have to paint or stain a vinyl fence, because these come in a range of colours and can feature lots of designs, as requested by the client. A quality fencing Kent made from vinyl is usually costlier than a wooden fence, but cheaper than an aluminium fence.

Speaking of aluminium, this is a chemical element that is abundantly found on Earth. Aluminium presents some interesting characteristics, such as a low density and resistance to corrosion, features rarely presented by other elements categorised as metals. However, just like wood, aluminium can expand and contract in specific temperature conditions. To avoid that, aluminium is treated. This metal is light, easy to cut, and easy to clean.

Another material used for making fences is concrete. A concrete fence requires few fencing supplies Maidstone. A concrete mixer and a pump are enough to install a fence like that. Concrete is a composite material, being the most resistant to weather of all the materials that can be used for making a fence. The rest of the fences need to have posts buried in the ground, but not the concrete fences, which can exist without posts and have their entire bottom placed in the ground.

Finally, a fence “material” that attracts more and more people passionate about nature and green is the hedge or hedgrow. This type of fence is made from short or tall shrubs designed to mark the boundaries of a territory. Hedges are perfect to delineate gardens or to separate a yard from a road. The good thing about this type of fence is that it requires low maintenance and gives a nice touch to any house or garden that it surrounds.
