Winter Maintenance for Wood Fences
While many homeowners don’t want to admit it, winter is just around the corner. As the weather grows colder and everyone looks to the sky for signs of snow, homeowners will begin to prepare their homes for the winter conditions. One element of the home that some homeowners may neglect with winter maintenance is their wood fence.
Wood fences take plenty of abuse year round. Most people can imagine the damage that is caused throughout the summer season, but they never consider the damage winter can cause to wood fences. Some damaging elements from the winter season that can harm wood fences include:
- Falling debris caused by severe weather can cause damage to your wood fences.
- Snow and rain can damage the fibers of your wood fences, leaving them vulnerable to mold and rot. Debris that remains on your fence after a snow fall can also trap moisture near the fence, causing more damage.
- Soil can shift after heavy amounts of rain and snow. As the soil shifts, the beams of your wood fence that provide support can become weak and unstable.
In order to combat these potential damages, consider these winter maintenance tips for your wood fences:
- Remove any debris from your wood fence when able. This will prevent moisture from being trapped near your fence to prevent rotting.
- As you shovel snow from your walkways, brush away snow resting on your wood fence. This will remove the extra weight from your fence while also removing the harmful moisture. Try to brush away any snow that may be resting around the posts of your wood fence.
- If you notice a large amount of moisture around your fence, be sure to monitor the stability of your fence posts. If you notice the posts have become unstable, call Hercules Fence. Our professionals will help repair the posts to keep your wooden fence stable and effective.

Fall Fence Maintenance with Hercules Fence
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.
