How to Maintain Your Cedar Fence: A Guide to Extending Its Life
Extend The Life Of Your Cedar Fence!
Wood privacy fences offer everything you might want in a fence: seclusion, security, and beauty. Cedar is by far the greatest wood for fence; it is more resistant to rot, warping, and discolouration than other woods. The rough texture also offers a more natural appearance that will complement your landscaping.
However, wood fences are an investment. They will not last permanently, unlike chain link or wire fence. There are a few things you can do to extend the life of your cedar fence and keep it looking good for as long as possible.
Sealing Your Cedar Fence
There is a fundamental contrast between sealant and stain. Stain is a substance used to alter the appearance of wood. Stain provides no protection. It alters the color of the wood and makes the grain more visible. You can apply stain to change the color of your fence and make it go in better with your house and yard, but it isn't required. The natural color of cedar will usually blend nicely with any landscaping.
Sealer, on the other hand, is definitely necessary. It gives the wood a protective coating. This treatment will keep moisture out of the wood, protect the color from fading, and make cleaning easier. You may find a guide to selecting the correct sealant for your fence here.
The worst thing you can do is skimp on sealing and give the impression that your fence is fully protected. Sealer should be applied in thin layers. You'll need two coatings; one will not suffice. When applying sealer, you must also be meticulous. You may read a good article about sealing your fence here.
