As we head into the fall season, it’s important to start thinking about how to prepare your fence and railing for the upcoming weather changes. Here are a few fall maintenance tips courtesy of Tek-Rail to make sure your fencing systems are ready for the drop in temperature.
Clean your fence and railing
One of the first steps in fall maintenance is to clean off any dirt and debris that may have accumulated on your fence and railing over the summer. Use a power washer or a simple soap and water solution to remove any buildup and keep your fence and railing looking like new.
Inspect for damage
Fall is the perfect time to inspect your fence and railing for any signs of damage. Check for loose boards, rusted areas, or any other issues that may need to be addressed. Making any necessary repairs now can help prevent further damage during the winter months.
Seal your fence and railing
Sealing your fence and railing can help protect it from the harsh elements of fall and winter weather. Apply a waterproof sealant to the surface of your fence and railing to help prevent water damage and extend the life of your outdoor structures.
Trim nearby trees and bushes
Falling leaves and branches can cause damage to your fence and railing during the fall months. Make sure to trim any nearby trees or bushes to help prevent debris from falling onto your outdoor structures.
