Maintaining Fence Panels to Extend Their Lifespan

We often get asked for advice on how to maximise the lifespan of fence panels. So, we have put together some advice to help you do just that. 

It is important to maintain and clean fence panels regularly to extend their lives. Here are some tips on how to do this:

Firstly, regularly inspect your fence for any damage. Look out for any broken or loose boards, nails or screws that need to be replaced. Repairing these issues as soon as possible can prevent further damage and prolong the life of your fence.

Next, you should clean your fence at least once a year. Start by removing any debris such as leaves, grass or dirt that may have gathered on the fence. Then use a soft-bristled brush or sponge and a solution of warm water and mild detergent to clean the fence. Be sure to rinse it thoroughly with clean water to remove any soap residue.

If your fence is made of wood, you need to protect it from moisture and UV damage. Apply a wood sealer or stain to the fence every few years to protect it from the elements and keep it looking great.

In conclusion, regular maintenance and cleaning of your garden fence can go a long way in keeping it looking its best. By following these simple tips, you can ensure that your fence will provide both beauty and privacy for years to come.
