Understanding Common Fence Damages

Garden fences endure a lot over the years, from the brunt of harsh weather conditions to general wear and tear. Storm damage is a common culprit, often resulting in broken or leaning posts due to strong winds and heavy rains. Additionally, rot and decay can set in, particularly in areas of high moisture, weakening the structural integrity of the fence.

Apart from natural elements, physical impacts such as falling branches or accidental collisions can also damage fences. Recognizing these common types of damage is the first step in determining the appropriate repair method.

Preventative Measures for Prolonged Fence Life

Regular maintenance is key to prolonging the life of your garden fence. Applying a weatherproof sealant can protect the wood from moisture and prevent rot. Regularly inspecting the fence for signs of damage or wear and addressing small issues promptly can prevent more significant problems down the line.

Keeping the area around the base of the fence clear of debris and vegetation can also reduce the risk of moisture buildup and rot. Additionally, reinforcing the fence with products like Fencemate® Repair Spurs can provide extra support and longevity.
