fence protection
Ontario’s winter can be harsh at times, and your home fences could suffer if you leave them without proper protection. Every winter has surprises, and we never know what to expect. By preparing in advance, you will protect your wood fence and preserve it for years to come.
The steps you need to take are different depending on what type of fence you have. Whether it is wood, vinyl, or aluminum, they all need specific care. Doing annual maintenance is also a good idea.
Tips For Superior Fence Protection
Waterproofing
During winter, there will be a lot of issues with moisture, which might cause surface and structural damage to your wood fence. The appearance of mold and mildew could ruin the outside looks while rot might make the fence unstable.
Preventing Damage
Prevent leaves from gathering by cleaning regularly. Mold and mildew can ruin the look of your fence and cause structural damage. Prevent the leaves from clogging up any existing gaps. Clean the fence on a weekly schedule.
Try Out Coatings
You can use wood treatment products liberally to guarantee they soak into the wood’s crevices. Different preservatives can prevent the buildup of fungi and bacteria. By applying these tips, your fence will endure harsher conditions and last longer.
General Fence Protection Tips
- Check if your fence is in good condition before the winter arrives
- Look up for softwood or hidden rot
- You can add wood putty to close holes
- Be sure to remove snow buildup
- Conduct a small test by dropping some water on your fence. If it absorbs the water, then the fence might not be waterproof
- Use waterproof stains or clean sealers
- Specific types of wood need different amounts of time in between applications
- You can use nearby potted plants to stop rain from dropping down on your wood fence
- Do an annual inspection (preferably during late summers) to ensure your wood fence is in good condition
