Wooden fences: aesthetics, protection and validity for the home garden
Wooden fences continue to be one of the most chosen options to provide security and style to the outdoor spaces of the home. Their traditional design, with pointed or rounded ends, the warm color of the material and its natural integration with the green of the grass and flowers, make them a decorative resource that does not lose validity over time.
In addition to their aesthetic value, fences fulfill a key function of protecting and delimiting the land. These are relatively simple structures, which allows many owners to choose to build them on their own or purchase them prefabricated from lumberyards and hypermarkets specializing in construction materials. A classic that crosses generations The wooden fence is a traditional element that has been in force for centuries. Its classic structure is composed of a set of planks or stakes placed vertically, generally ending in a point or with rounded edges. These pieces are fixed using horizontal boards that are nailed and joined to the whole, providing firmness and stability. For those looking for a more elaborate or personalized design, there is always the possibility of entrusting the work to a carpenter or specialized professional, incorporating decorative details or adapting it to the specific characteristics of the terrain. The importance of wood treatment When choosing the material, specialists recommend opting for wood from cultivated forests correctly treated to withstand permanent exposure to the elements. In the case of wood of cultivated origin, eucalyptus or pine can be used, in both cases with treatment or impregnation that helps them to be preserved outdoors. The stakes that must be buried in the ground, in addition to the outdoor treatment, must be painted with asphalt paint, which will significantly help in their performance and useful life underground," explained Daniel Lassalle, commercial manager of CADAMDA.
