A wood fence provides a natural look for your property while also proving to provide great function. Choosing to install a wood fence gives you a variety of options to go with for designs. No matter what type of wood fence you need, keeping your wood fence maintained properly is important.
Inspect it
Walk the length of your fence and look for loose nails, rotting or broken pickets, and signs of insects being present. You also want to make sure that bushes, vines and other brush is away from the fence. Also make sure that posts are secure in the ground. A lot of these issues can be an easy fix. Hammering back in the nails and replacing pickets is an easy DIY project.
Routine Washing
Something as small as a regular wash annually can keep your fence in great looking shape and free of mildew. Soak the wood with a special fence or deck wood cleaner. Use a brush to scrub or utilize a pressure washer to clean. Don’t forget to clean the bottom of the fence.
Resealing
You should be aiming to reseal your wood fences once or twice a year. The most opportune time to reseal is after you paint. You want to reseal and re-stain to prevent water damage.
