Fence Post Caps
Yes, fence post caps add to your fence’s aesthetic value, and you can shop for them to customize the look. However, did you know that fence post caps are critical to your wood fence’s health and durability? The tops of your wood posts are susceptible to mold, mildew and rot as rain, snow and moisture can seep into the unprotected wood. Wood caps also play an important role in keeping rodents and unwanted critters from sitting on and dirtying your fence. Improve the longevity of your investment by installing fence post caps today!
Lattice Tops
One of the more popular fence accessories in the last decade has been lattice tops for privacy fences. For many homeowners, the privacy is great but not very appealing to look at every day. Therefore, a lot of homeowners have opted for the stylish yet simple addition of lattice tops. Lattice tops also give homeowners a little more visibility at the top of their fence. There are a number of designs available for lattice tops, including horizontal and diagonal concepts
Fence Stain
If you were to take a walk around your community, you’d likely notice that many homes have wood fences with unique shades. Fence maintenance plays an important role in the colour of your wood fence, and if you make an effort to stain your fence, you will certainly improve your fence’s aesthetic value as well as its durability. Your wood fence isn’t designed to withstand half a decade’s worth of sunlight, rain, snow and moisture. The Fence All professionals recommend that you stain your fence once every 5-6 years to maintain its visual and structural qualities.
Whether you’ve just installed a brand-new fence or you’re looking to improve upon your existing one, these are three additions we believe can make a difference. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your fence or fence maintenance, feel free to contact the professionals at Fence All.
