Fence Repair & Installation Tips

At least once a year you should check your fence for damage. Check for loose nails, rotted wood, termite damage and loose boards. Catching damage early and having it fixed can save you money in the long run.

Cedar fences are naturally resistant to rot and insects. It is also less likely to warp than other woods and accepts stains better. It is however more expensive than other types of wood fencing.

Protect your fence from the elements by staining or sealing it. Wood left to the elements will turn gray, crack and rot. Staining or sealing your wood fence will help extend the life and beauty of your fence.

If a low maintenance fence appeals to you, consider a vinyl fence. They will never rot, warp, splinter or require painting or staining. They are available in a large variety of colors and styles. Vinyl fences may cost a little more than a conventional wood fence, but they will save you money with their long life and low maintenance costs.

Before staining your fence, check the weather forecast. There should be no chance of rain for 24 to 48 hours for best results. This will give the stain and/or sealer time to fully cure.
