If your fences are in need of fence maintenance, then it’s time to get cracking.
The first day of spring has come and gone. What is the state of your yard? More importantly, think about what your fences look like; if they are in need of some tender loving care, then it’s time to get cracking. Here are some things to keep in mind when you get down to the business of fence maintenance this spring.
Inspecting Your Fences
You might have a single long fence that stretches around your entire property. Alternatively, you could have several smaller fences linked by gates. Either way, you can’t know what maintenance needs you have to address without a proper inspection. You could take a walk by yourself. Or, you could bring your dog. If you live on a horse farm, then you could saddle up, and even if you don’t, a bike, riding lawnmower, or ATV might be viable options to get around your land. Go everywhere your fences run and look for any possible signs of damage – no matter if water, wind, or termites caused it.
Don’t forget the nails and the tools you’ll need for some temporary mending work. If your wooden fence has started to decay, then this is a situation you need to remedy right away. To make sure it exceeds the safety and stability requirements as set by your community, you might want to leave it in the hands of the fence professionals at Hercules Fence.
Maintaining Your Fences
Dust, dirt, and sand can be quickly dealt with; all you need to do is grab your power washer. Sometimes, your garden hose will suffice when you need o do fence maintenance. When you wash your fence, you can get rid of moss, mold, and mildew. Older and unsightly layers of wood can also be removed this way. Don’t forget to repaint, restain, and reseal your residential fences as necessary.
Repairing Your Fences
Fix up any fence posts that are sagging or cracking. In some cases, replacing them altogether is the better option. Don’t forget to inspect your fence rails and repair those, too.
