There are a lot of reasons why you might need a new fence. Check out some of the signs that you should install a fresh fence.
When you look out to the backyard, it just doesn’t compare to it’s former glory. What once was a beautiful fence surrounding your property now seems to be bringing your curb appeal down. It’s time for a new fence. Unfortunately, fences and other outdoor products exposed to the elements start to dwindle down and lose their shape and shine. Here are a few signs that prove that it might be time for you to install a new fence.
Weathered Boards
This is probably going to be the first thing you notice when your fence starts to wither down. You might notice cracks along the boards or splintering wood. Often times, the stained wood or other material start to lose their color and fade into a new shade after much sun exposure. In wood that is untreated, moisture is also more likely to damage it. When moisture is in the pores of your fence, it can start to lose its shape and warp.
Loose or Missing Fasteners
Unlike weathered boards that you can see from a distance, you may need to get a bit closer to determine whether your fasteners are missing or damaged. Fasteners include nails, screws, metal fasteners and anything else that is used to hold your fence together. If boards are falling off the fence because the fasteners are gone, you probably should have gotten a new fence months ago. But, if you inspect your fence and find a few loose and rusted nails, you still have time to install a new fence before the fence literally hits rock bottom.
The Expenses Add Up
If you just have one board that is broken on your fence, it might make sense to just replace a single board. When there are too many ailments to your fence to count, the price can add up if you try to fix each problem. At some point, it just makes sense to buy a new fence. A brand new fence will look and function better than a restored fence ever could. In the long run, you will definitely be saving money on your fence. Besides, installing a new fence could be fun! With a new style and color, your yard will be looking fresh and new.
