Much like wooden decks, wooden fences greatly benefit from a good wash as well. Any wood left exposed to the outdoor elements will cup, crack, and warp within the first year or so if it is not protected.

The two most common natural enemies of wood are sun and rain. Sun breaks down the surface fibers, causing the wood to weaken and turn gray during the process. Rain causes the wood to swell excessively, eventually leading to the breakdown of the internal fibers. Once this happens, the wood becomes spongy and weak.

Fences usually have greater exposure to both sun and rain than decks do.  A spongy weak fence tends to slump and can no longer offer a strong barrier as it was intended to do. If you've invested in wooden fencing, please consider calling us to help you maintain it!
