The Importance of Fence Maintenance

Fence maintenance goes beyond keeping your property neat. By keeping your fence in good shape, you enhance your fence's lifespan. Montana Fence provides durable products, but proper maintenance can add even more years to their life.

Basic Maintenance for Every Fence Type

1. Check for IssuesundefinedEvery few months, inspect the fence for leaning or wear. Early fixes prevent costly replacements.

2. Clean and Clear RegularlyundefinedLeaves, grass, and dirt can build up around the fence. Use water and keep it clear of grass clippings to prevent moisture and decay.

3. Prune Nearby VegetationundefinedAvoid plants growing directly on your fence. Trim trees and shrubs back regularly to reduce moisture buildup and prevent pest problems.
