Wood fencing is a great addition to any garden. With the many styles available, you can choose a design, height and colour to match the aesthetics of your property. So, once you have your wood fencing up, how do you take care of it? We’ve listed below some things you can do to get the most years out of your timber.
Apply Protective Coatings
Over time, the state of wood fencing can deteriorate in harsh weather conditions. It’s good to apply protective coating to the timber to ensure there’s a barrier against the weather. When you need to reseal the fence will depend on the type of wood used, but generally this should take place every couple of years. You can buy paint that protects the timber at the same time, so you get to refresh the look of it too.
Keep It Clear
Timber needs to be protected from the rain to prevent rotting. Wood shouldn’t be saturated with water for long periods of time as this could cause some issues and reduce the lifespan of the wood fencing. Though we can’t help the British weather, there are some things you can do to prevent water damage. In the colder months, leaves can fall from trees and carry moisture whilst on the ground. If there is a build up around the base of the fence, then it’s wise to clear this up to avoid leaving the material to be soaked for long periods of time.
Get Wood Fencing Repairs
If you do happen to notice an issue with your fence, then it’s important to get it sorted out as soon as possible. This damage might include cracking, weather damage, or even missing panels. Keep an eye out for areas that could be splitting or rotting as these should be replaced as soon as possible. These problems can turn into even larger and more expensive issues if left untreated. It’s best to call in the professionals to get your wood fencing back up to scratch and in good condition.
