Now that spring is here, outdoor projects are making their way back onto the to-do list. One project you don’t want to overlook is your fence. Your fence is an important part of your home that provides security, privacy and home value; therefore, you must work to keep it strong and looking good. After this past winter’s harsh conditions, it’s likely your fence has taken a beating. Follow these steps to get your fence in tip-top shape for the warmer months ahead:
1. Repair it. Replace damaged or missing boards, fix broken latches and gates, and reinforce loose posts. Doing so will keep your fence nice and sturdy, plus help avoid any further damage.
2. Clear it. Prune back any tree limbs or vegetation that has grown near your fence. Tree limbs can break off and damage your fence, and vegetation can grow around your fence and weaken its structure.
3. Clean it. Spring cleaning isn’t just for inside the house. Consider power washing your wood or vinyl fence once or twice a year to keep it looking clean and new. Once your wood fence has dried, consider applying a stain or sealant to keep it looking good even longer!
