Here are some of the signs to paint or stain your fencing.
Are you wondering if your fence needs to be repainted or stained? Without paint or stain, your fencing will be more susceptible to the elements outside, meaning it’ll get worn down more quickly. This makes painting/staining your fence such an important step in the maintenance process. So, how do you know when more paint or stain is needed? Here are some of the signs to paint or stain your fencing.
The Color in Your Fencing is Fading
Have you noticed that the color in your fence is beginning to fade? This could be a result of the sun’s ultraviolet rays. When your fence has a sufficient layer of paint or sealant, it’s usually enough to prevent fading from occurring. That means that you likely don’t have enough paint or stain on your fence if the color has started to fade.
You Notice Cracks in Your Fence (If You Have a Wooden Fence)
This problem is one you might experience if you have a wooden fence. Paint and stain are great at protecting wooden surfaces from the weather. When your fence doesn’t have enough protection, this is when you might notice cracks appearing in it. A cracked fence is an indicator that there isn’t enough paint or stain shielding your fencing from the elements.
Your Fencing is Discolored or Dirty
Without a layer of paint or stain, your fencing will also be more likely to become dirty. Messes that get too close will eventually leave their marks on your fence, and these messes won’t be easy to remove. Even if you try using a power washer to remove the mess, it’s possible that it won’t come out, and you might even fade the color of your fence in the process. That’s why you should be proactive and apply a new layer of paint or stain in order to keep your fence looking clean and pristine.
