  • Fall Fence Maintenance with Hercules Fence

    Fall Fence Maintenance

    October is here and fall is finally upon the Mid-Atlantic region. Fall means crisp weather, apple picking, and a new style of yard work. With the changing of the season comes the need for fall fence maintenance. Each fence style requires some type of fall maintenance, depending on the style of fence you have for your home.

    Fall Fence Maintenance for your Home

    • Wood- Wood fences typically require more maintenance in general because of they run a higher risk for damage. During the fall, be sure to remove any debris resting on top or at the base of your wood fence. Leaves around the posts of your fence could lead to rotting and warping of your fence.
    • Vinyl- Vinyl fencing requires the least amount of maintenance overall because of the durable materials used to create the fence. Rinsing your fence with soap and water whenever dirt or debris is noticeable will help your vinyl fence last through the fall.
    • Aluminum- An aluminum fence also requires a low amount of maintenance generally. During the fall, avoid hanging heavy decorations and keep your fence free of debris.
    • Chain Link- During the fall season, consider installing fence slats to increase your overall curb appeal. Remove any debris that happens to get attached to your chain link fence to decrease the chance of rusting.

  • How to Benefit from an Automated Gate System

    Automated Gate Systems

    Homeowners are always looking for ways to improve their home. Sometimes improvements are made to increase the overall value of the home, others to improve the security of the home. Did you know there is a way to increase the security and value of your home at the same time? An automated gate system by Hercules Fence can bring several benefits to a home, including security and value.

    Why an Automated Gate System?

    1. Curb Appeal- A fence already adds a certain level of curb appeal to your home. An automated gate system increases that curb appeal level by adding sophistication to the entrance of your home. It also shows that you care about your house and its overall appearance.
    2. Child Safety- Parents can rest easy knowing their children are safe while playing in the yard. The gate system will prevent the child from leaving the yard while also preventing strangers from entering.
    3. Security- An automated gate system becomes the first line of defense against crime for your home. Criminals attempting to invade your home will be deterred when they are unable to get past your gate.
    4. Insurance- Because gate systems deter crime, some insurance providers may be willing to give you breaks for having a system for your yard.
    5. Pet Safety-Your pets will stay safe within your yard while keeping other animals away. Children and teenagers passing your yard are also unable to see your pet, deterring them from tormenting your pet.
    6. Property Value- The higher your curb appeal, the higher your property value typically is. An automated gate system tends to make selling a home easier.
    7. Privacy- Are solicitors common in your neighborhood? Do children like to cut through your yard while walking home from school? Add a layer of privacy to your home with an automated gate system.

  • Vinyl Fence to Combat Summer Storms

    June 1st marked the beginning of the hurricane season and for those along the East Coast, all has been quiet. There have been outbreaks of isolated thunderstorms throughout the regions, but nothing too serious to report. With that being said, we have only just begun. Weather teams have predicated a slow hurricane season this year, but that doesn’t necessarily mean an easy season. There is always the potential to have a few very strong storms or hurricanes hit, which could cause more damage than a number of smaller storms. Before any serious storms hit the area, it’s a smart idea to begin preparing your home for whatever could lie ahead. One of the ways to get your property storm-ready is by installing a new PVC vinyl fence.

    So why a PVC vinyl fence and not a wooden or chain link fence for your home? For a few reasons:

    1. PVC vinyl fencing is made by a co-extrusion process. This makes the fence solid when strong winds blow in.
    2. A vinyl fence won’t become warped after long or constant exposure to rain like other fencing. Vinyl fencing won’t rust after being exposed to heavy rain either.
    3. After a severe storm you may come outside to find dirt, leaves, branches, and other debris stuck to your vinyl fence. Not to worry, that can be removed by some soapy water and a quick squirt of the hose.
    4. Vinyl fencing is also ideal for privacy, which helps to keep debris from entering your yard during a storm.
    5. Should you yard flood during a storm, a vinyl fence will not be damaged by the pooling water.

    In an area like Maryland where the weather tends to have a mind of its own, a vinyl fence that can withstand the elements is never a bad idea. At Hercules Fence, we specialize in the installation of PVC vinyl fencing and offer a variety of styles for vinyl fencing.

    With 6 convenient locations, including our Jessup, Maryland facility, Hercules Fence is the name you trust when choosing a fence that can withstand a storm. To get started with our Maryland location, call us at 410.799.1555 or click here for our locations list.
