Graying boards, leaning posts, sagging gates. Catching these early saves you money.
Fences rarely fail all at once. They give you warning signs first. Catching them early is the difference between a quick fix and a full replacement.
1. Gray, faded boards
Graying means the sun has broken down the surface of the wood. It is the first sign your fence needs stain.
2. Cracks and splinters
Dry wood cracks. Staining helps hold moisture in balance and slows this down.
3. Cupping or warped boards
Boards that curl at the edges are drying unevenly. Protecting the wood helps prevent more damage.
4. A sagging or sticking gate
If your gate drags or will not latch, the framing or hinges may need attention, or it may be time for a new gate built to last.
5. Leaning sections
A leaning fence usually points to a post problem. If the fence is old, a new fence may be the smarter investment.
