Wood fencing is classic and beautiful but does require regular care in order to keep it looking good. You had your beautiful fence installed by the best Panama City fencing company, <\/span>Mr. Fence of Florida<\/span><\/a>, and now it\u2019s time to perform some maintenance. Preserve your investment and keep your fence looking great by following these five tips:<\/span><\/p>\n

# 1 – Closely Inspect Your Fence<\/b><\/h2>\n

The first step in maintaining your wood fencing in Panama City is to take a stroll along your fence line. Take a thorough look at both sides of your fence and note any damage that you may find. Winter weather can be quite tough on a wood fence, as it’s a natural material, so spring is a good time to check for damaged boards or posts; peeling, chipping, or damaged paint; or damaged hardware.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Use this time to make sure that the fence boards and posts are still firmly grounded. Gently shake them to ensure that they are still secure and strong. Additionally, check that your gates are still closing properly, that the latches are tight, and that everything is working correctly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Performing regular check-ups and taking care of minor repairs keeps them from turning into major repairs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

# 2 – Note Any Fence Repairs Needed<\/b><\/h2>\n

While you are inspecting your fence, be sure to take notes of any broken or split boards or signs of rot. Taking care of these problems quickly will keep your fence in good working order. Individual boards or posts that have cracked, warped, or rotted can easily be replaced with minimal effort and cost.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you enjoy do-it-yourself projects, fixing small repairs can be a rewarding experience. However, the experts in residential fencing in Panama City, Mr. Fence of Florida, are ready to help if your repairs are extensive, you are unsure of how to handle the project, or you have any additional questions. Give us a call and we will be happy to help.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

# 3 – Remove Stains or Dirt from your Wood Fence<\/b><\/h2>\n

Wood fences are the most susceptible to grime buildup, so routinely check for dirt, mold, mildew, or other stains. Resolving these issues quickly will keep them from spreading to other parts of your fence and becoming a more difficult problem.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Spraying your fence with a hose should remove any light dirt, grime, or mildew. For areas that have heavy debris like moss or mud, use a brush with a gentle cleanser to restore your fence to its original state. Using a pressure washer is also an effective way to remove buildup. Be sure not to use anything higher than 1500-2000 PSI on wood fences, and use an angular tip to fan out the water spray. It\u2019s easier to take care of these stains when they are small and manageable, so frequently check your fence and immediately clean any spots you may find.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

# 4 – Clean Up Surrounding Landscaping<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Spruce up the landscaping around your fence to freshen the overall look of your yard. Remember to leave adequate space between bushes or shrubs along your fence in order to increase airflow and reduce the chances of mold and mildew growth. Pay special attention to any overhanging tree limbs or damaged branches, and trim them as they potentially may break and fall on your fence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

# 5 – Protect and Refresh your Fence with Stain or Paint<\/b><\/h2>\n

Carefully evaluate the condition of your fence\u2019s stain or paint. In general, your fence will need to be restained or repainted every two to three years. If needed, be sure to recoat your fence to protect it and keep it looking new. This is a great do-it-yourself project, but be sure to contact the experts in residential fencing in Panama City, Mr. Fence of Florida, for the best procedures and products to refinish your fence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
