The winter season is tough on every aspect of your landscape. Right from your flower garden to the well-built wooden fence. So, when spring sets in, it is the ideal time to restore glory on your lawn and maintain your wooden fence.
Your wooden fence may look old, with paint peeling off, or even worse, it may need repair. Fortunately, a few DIYs can bring back the glory of your wooden fence. A few fixing and repainting can go a long way in sprucing up your wooden fence and realization of a beautiful yard that you desired.
Here are a few tips on how you can maintain your wooden fence this spring!
Power Wash The Fence
After the heavy storms and ice, debris starts to build up over your fence, encouraging mold and decay. Therefore, the first step to restoring the original look of your wooden fence is to schedule a power wash. Cleaning the fence ensures you do away with any foreign particles that promote the decaying of the wood.
Check On Any Repairs
During winter, you may have remained in the house and barely checked on the fence. At times, you may notice missing screws or broken rails. Replacing the missing screws and fixing the broken rails gives your fence a new look. Also, working on repairs before they get out of hand will save you money and time in the long run.
Stain, Seal, & Paint
After the power cleaning and ensuring that the fence is sparkling clean and free from dust, mold, and debris, take the next step. We are all about achieving elegance and a new look; thus, adding some color to the fence is critical.
Now that your fence is clean and in perfect condition, spruce it up with a new coat of paint or an additional layer of stain. Besides improving the aesthetics, the new layer of paint or stain helps preserve the wood and keep the invaders at bay.
While wood stain gives your fence a classic finish with an elegant look, the wood paint makes the surface brighter and reflects the sun, giving your yard a great feel.
