Today, we’ll be discussing when the right time to replace your chain-link fence is.
A chain-link fence, when given the proper care, can last you for years, or even decades. Even so, there will eventually come a time when that fence can no longer last, and you’ll need to get yourself a new one. The question becomes: when do you make that decision? Today, we’ll be discussing when the right time to replace your chain-link fence is.
You See Rusting
If your chain-link fence is of good quality, it will usually come with a vinyl or zinc coating that helps it last under outdoor weather conditions. Even with such protection, however, the weather will gradually wear your fence down. Eventually, you might start to see spots of rust on your fence.
Small specks of rust can be filed off by using steel wool, so you don’t have to worry too much if rust only covers a small area. If rust is seen in large segments of your fence, though, your fence is likely beyond saving, so you’ll want to get your chain-link fence replaced with a new one that doesn’t have to worry about rust spreading.
There are Damaged or Missing Links
If your chain-link fencing has any damaged or missing links, it can be a huge issue. This is because the structural integrity of the fence relies on all of these links being present and in good condition. Minor damage will only grow with time, so it’s best to simply replace your fence with a new one before you find yourself in an emergency situation.
Your Chain-Link Fence is Sagging, Warping, or Leaning
Have you noticed your chain-link fence warping, sagging, or leaning in certain sections? This often means that the frame of your fence has been compromised. When the frame is damaged, the structural integrity of your fence is severely weakened, and it means your fence will be susceptible to future structural damage going forward. Replacing your fence with a new one lets you address this issue before it’s able to develop.
