Wooden Fence and Deck Maintenance for Winter Season


Posted March 16, 2016 by structurda

If you are looking for wooden fence combination of security and beauty, a metal fence simply cannot offer this.

 
Your property demands intense maintenance during extreme weather. Be it summer, rains or winters, harsh weathers take a toll on the paint work, flooring, laminates, stain and sealer, etc. This stands especially true for winters if you have wooden fences and deck. Changing temperatures, snow and water damage, falling leaves and fruits, so on and so forth. Check with your fence installation services whether they would come for a cleanup and reapply protective coats on your fence & deck. If not, then here's how to go about the maintenance spree:

Paint on fences and decks form a direct protective layer on the wood. Winters bring in snow fall which eventually leads to water condensation and moisture. This causes the biggest harm to wooden outdoor structures - mould formation. It not only makes for an ugly appearance but stains and health hazards too causing breathing issues.

Stain and seal provides an extra layer to protect the paint work and laminates from fading. It also saves the wood from mould build up. You don't want any stains from the fruits or flowers that fall on your fences too from the trees within your garden or just outside on the pavement.

Fall and winter bring in their set of natural problems subjecting your fences and decks to debris and clutter. Falling leaves may look beautiful in movies but it sure doesn't look attractive when it's lying in your yard for days together. More so; when they rot and make a mark on the wooden surfaces.

Repairing is a preventive method used to extend the lifespan of something and this is not an exception to fences and decks. Changing temperatures during the day and night in winters may cause the wooden structures to contract and expand. This may lead to loose nails, weak wooden support, broken limbs, or limbs that need some touch ups, etc. Have a thorough check of your fences and deck to note any problem or worn out areas.
