How to Care for Your Fence
Regarding the material used when it comes to a commercial fence installation, the same thing will always apply, which is maintenance. The fence is an element that often completes the exterior design of a property, and if we are speaking about a commercial one, the fence will be even more important, as it can catch the attention and interest of potential customers.
Wrought iron fences are highly sought after because of their aesthetic appearance, structure, and, more importantly, durability. If you choose an iron fence that is made from quality materials, you will have it for years to come. However, you will need to keep an eye on it and help it to fight its biggest enemy, which is rust. Rust can significantly reduce the life of a wrought iron fence, so make sure you clean any rust and repainting periodically.
If you have a fence that has an automatic metal door, we at Deco Fence Co. suggest you schedule an annual checkup to ensure its continued functionality.
As for wooden fences, they can have a life of 30 years and upwards, however, only when it is very well maintained through the application of varnishes, paints and other special coating solutions that are specifically designed for outdoor use.
Rain, wind, frost, insects, or animals will all affect the integrity of a wooden fence. Repairing minor defects the moment you see them is necessary and needs to be done before performing any maintenance operation.
Start by checking every nail and board, fix any displaced ones, and replace any that are damaged. Pay close attention to the lower part of the fence boards, the ones close to the ground, as these are more prone to rotting.
