We rely on our fences to provide us with security, curb appeal, and privacy. It does not matter if it is a wood, chain link, or vinyl fence, we expect it to do its job for years to come. However, our fences are subjected to a lot of abuse every day. They are bombarded by the elements which take a toll on the fence, causing a variety of issues. Common issues include discoloration, bent fence posts, pest damage, and damaged boards. So, routine fence maintenance is necessary to quickly address these issues, prolong the life of your fence, and ensure that your fence is doing its job. Below, we will discuss an annual fence maintenance checklist to follow.
- Clean the Fence: Fences get very dirty over a year. It can become discolored, stained, and full of debris. It is important to regularly clean your fence and prevent any debris from damaging the fence material. Be sure to look up the appropriate cleaning method and solutions applicable to your type of fencing to ensure you do not damage it while cleaning it.
- Perform Necessary Repairs: If your fence is damaged in any way, you need to repair it immediately. It does not matter how minor of a repair it may be, minor repairs can become more extensive if not fixed quickly. Visually inspect your fence and repair any issues that you may find.
- Apply Sealant (if applicable): Fencing can benefit from being sealed annually with the proper sealant. A sealant will act as a protective barrier against the damaging effects of UV rays, rain, snow, and debris.
