• Extending the Life of your Wood Fence

  When homeowners install a wood fence, they are making an investment on their home. A wood fence adds elegance and security to a home while also increasing the curb appeal and overall value of the home. While a wood fence holds many benefits for homeowners, they do require some maintenance from time to time. This may seem difficult; however, the steps you can take to extend the life of your fence are simple and inexpensive.

  Some steps homeowners can take to extend the life of their wood fence are:

  1. Cleaning- Use a power washer or strong hose to clean your fence of dirt and debris. Soap for dishes mixed with a bleach solution can be effective at cleaning the fence while also removing any mold spores that may have grown.
  2. Repairing- Walk the entire length of your fence in search for areas that need to be repaired. This can include loose hinges, broken locks, and damaged boards. This is also a good time to ensure the posts for your fence are still firmly in the ground.
  3. Staining- Once your fence has dried, you can now apply a petroleum stain to the wood. This stain will seep into the top layer of the wood to protect your fence for longer.
  4. Finishing- Once you have finished these main steps, you can then decide to add a wood preservative to your fence as well. It is also a good idea to use grease to lubricate the locks and hinges of your wood fence to ensure they remain in working order.

  When purchasing a fence, you want a fence that you will grow to love overtime.  When you want a fence that offers more and more benefits as it ages, go for a privacy fence.

  Privacy fences are perfect for residential properties and commercial businesses alike.

  For residential properties, you can enjoy the comfort of your yard at any time with a privacy fence. A privacy fence will keep prying eyes from watching you sunbath, grill and enjoy quality time with your family and friends.

  Never again will you have to suffer from an invasion of privacy at your home.

  But privacy is not the only thing privacy fences have to offer. Privacy fences are great for security because criminals and other wrongdoers can’t see behind your privacy fence. So, they will think before trying to enter your home property.

  Another benefit of privacy fence installation is the increase in home value it brings. Your home value increases because the fence in itself is a good sound barrier. A privacy fence naturally beautifies your home property.

  Privacy fences are either authentic wood fences or PVC wood fences. For authentic wood fences regular maintenance includes staining and pressure washing. PVC wood fences maintenance involves pressure washing.

  Both types of privacy fences can serve as good windbreakers as well as offer quality shade.

  Hercules Fence is here to create custom privacy fences for your home.  We offer a variety of styles for privacy fences.

  No prying eyes. No children or pets in harms way.

  You will reap the benefits of an aesthetically pleasing privacy fence  with all the right security and privacy.
