Outdoor Living in Summer

On balmy summer days your thoughts are likely to turn to intimate al fresco dining, or barbecues with gatherings of friends in the garden. You want to make the most of the outside space you have available and make it as attractive as possible. It adds external rooms to your home and the ‘walls’, or fences, of its garden rooms are as important as its internal walls.

Multi-purpose Fencing Walls

They need to keep your business private, and help to mute any noise heard from neighbouring residences. In built up areas of Essex like Romford and Hornchurch, fences that are solid and wooden are ideal for this. They not only mark property boundaries, they can also partition off garden areas so you can surround your dinner parties and other gatherings with double layers of fencing.

The fences don’t have to be just solid and enclosing. They can be topped with delicately patterned trellis and decorated with hanging baskets and outdoor artwork, or have planted borders at ground level.

Fencing Makes the Most of Lights

For many homeowners in locations such as Brentwood or Romford, fencing gives an opportunity to hang their effective lighting arrangements. After dark, guests will be free to wander in light and shade and follow mysterious pathways through dimly lit gaps in the fences. Meanwhile the jollity will continue in the main party area, where you might have seating and food, background music, maybe even a space for dancing.

So when you are planning your summer shindigs, make sure your fences are where you want them and in good condition. Then you can choose your party themes and decorate the ‘walls’ and fences of your garden rooms to match.
