Fences are not only functional but also add aesthetic value to our properties. However, to ensure that your fence remains in top condition year-round, regular maintenance is key. Here are some expert tips to help you maintain your fence and extend its lifespan.
Apply Protective Finish: To protect your fence from the elements, consider applying a protective finish. This is especially important for wood fences, as it can help prevent rot, decay, and UV damage. We offer free consultation to help you determine the best type of finish for your fence depending on material and climate. Protective finishes should be applied to a new wood fence after the wood has seasoned and properly dried.
Trim Vegetation: Overgrown vegetation near your fence can cause damage over time. Trim back bushes, vines, and trees that are in close proximity to your fence to prevent moisture retention, pests, and structural damage.
Seal Gaps and Cracks: Gaps and cracks in your fence can not only compromise its privacy but also allow pests and moisture to penetrate, leading to potential damage. Seal any gaps or cracks with appropriate sealant to maintain the integrity of your fence. By following these expert tips for maintaining your fence year-round, you can keep it looking great and functioning properly for years to come. Regular inspections, cleaning, repairs, protective finishes, vegetation trimming, level checking, and sealing gaps are all essential steps in ensuring the longevity of your fence. With proper care and maintenance, your fence will continue to enhance the beauty and security of your property.
