We must first consider why we’ve specifically decided to go with a privacy fence, as opposed to a typical fence we could normally construct to perimeter our home and lawn. Privacy fences don’t have spaces between each rail, and can extend higher than other fences, thus creating a barrier that ensures your privacy. We may have our own motives for this route with fencing, but most likely it has to do with preventing neighbors from eavesdropping, peeking into our pool parties, and attempting to reach through an opening to pilfer a hot dog right off the grill.
There are mostly only pros for deciding to construct a privacy fence instead of a semi-private fence, besides that it could be more costly and require more maintenance because of the usage of more materials. Architecturally, there are very interesting ways to make a outstanding privacy fence. They can be painted into a more fluid design because there aren’t any gaps in the planks. Also since there are no gaps, intruders from the outside can’t find any footing on the exterior of your fencing. This prevents your summer-sweltered neighbors from hopping your fence to use your pool while you’re on vacation.

Since we went over how to maintain a beautiful wooden fence last week, we’ll discuss the different techniques you can implement to keep your vinyl fence looking top-notch. Vinyl fences can be a hassle to clean, especially when they have excessive grime, dirt, and algae build-up. Of course, all these things will be easier to remove if you assess the problem sooner than later. If you’ve been neglecting the maintenance, there are some methods you can use to restore your vinyl fence to its original, gleaming luster.
To start, spray down the fence with a hose, applying pressure with your thumb to give it the “pressure-washer” effect. More stubborn dirt and grime can be removed by using a soft-bristle brush. For parts of the fence that are stained, a detergent-water solution can help. Simply mix a little dishwasher detergent in water and wipe the stains with a rag. If the stains are severe enough, you may have to use some bleach. Remember to always wear latex gloves while working with chemicals!

When was the last time you inspected your fence for holes, wood rot, or rusting nails? It’s probably about time you gave it a thorough look at start planning what needs to be replaced or repaired. It is best to regularly scan your fence for these problems and catch them early on-fences can easily be permanently stained if they aren’t washed properly every so often. Normally a solution of white vinegar, liquid soap, and warm water will effectively clean any wooden fence.
Rusted nails can be far more problematic. If they have been introduced to your fence for quite some time, it may be too difficult to pull them out with a vice grip or hammer them out because they will take a piece of your fence with them. One method for removing these oxidized offenses is to drill small holes on both sides of the nail and attempt to wiggle them out (of course, be sure to always wear gloves during this process). Blemishes and holes in your fence can also be replaced in sections; there is no need to dismantle the entire thing.
