What You Should Do:
The first thing you should do is check the material of your wooden fence. Good quality wood will give you less problems and will last for years.
However, since it’s wood, caring for it is important to ensure there’s no damage. Start preparing before winter even arrives.
First, check to see if there’s no dust or molding on your fence. Check for termites as well.
If you want to check if your fence is water proof, sprinkle a few drops of water on it. If it’s absorbed, that means it is not water proof. Applying stain will help protect the wood from moisture.
If you have a vinyl fence, that doesn’t mean it won’t be damaged. That being said, the weight of the snow can cause it to crack and sag. Therefore, it’s important to shovel away snow before it accumulates around your fence.
If you have an aluminum fence, you don’t need to worry about water resistance or termites. Some aluminum fences don’t get damaged by ice or snow. However, soil shifting can cause them to become displaced. Debris from trees can cause damage. Therefore, make sure to trim shrubs and trees during the winter.
