A wood fence can be a great way to give a home a definitive border. It keeps children in and stray animals out. It also changes the look of the house. But over time, wood fences rot away.
Power washers are aggressive. They'll strip the wood as well as clean off the dirt and grime, but you can also erode the wood too deeply and ruin it. The key is to use the right sprayer tip and technique. In any case, the power washer's spray will slightly raise and roughen the grain on smooth wood.
When your property needs a border around the perimeter, a fence fits this need. You have a variety of materials from which to choose as you consider installing a new fence. Some materials are well-suited for low maintenance, including vinyl and chain-link, but you may not feel satisfied with the appearance and expense of these materials.
Wood fence panels need to be maintained, whether they have been damaged, rotted out or need to be restained or sealed. Semi-regular maintenance is one of the costs associated with panel fencing. Vinyl, on the other hand, may not require the same upkeep, but it does not have the same charm as a wooden fence.
Wood fences need to be cleaned and sealed or stained from time to time to keep them looking good and protect the wood from cracking, warping, or cupping caused by the sun's UV rays and the weather. Start by thoroughly cleaning the fence or deck using a specially formulated fence or deck cleaner following the manufacturer's directions.
Many people choose cedar when they put up new fences. After all, cedar is a durable wood that resists rot and insect damage. Even this material can still deteriorate, though. Weather and dirt can dull the surface, and constant exposure to moisture can weaken it.
Rustic fencing adds an aesthetic appeal to a yard, particularly when surrounding an old or historic building. Many varieties of rustic fencing exist, and most can be constructed with little effort or expertise. Perhaps the most recognizable rustic fencing is the wood picket fence, which was prominent during the 19th century and is still popular today.
