Summer is gone but the effects are still here.
Its November, but here in Orlando it still feels like July. Its so hot and gross, but at least its not as humid. During the summer the humidity makes it feel well into the 100’s. One effect from the summer is mildew or wood rot.
So, now that the summer is over, this is a good time to check your wood fencing for mildew spots, wood rot or even termite damage. Unfortunately these kinds of problems seem to get worse before they get better.
When inspecting for damage, check both sides of your wood fencing. Look for mildew, wood rotting away (easily pulls apart when touched) and termites or termite damage.
Sometimes its best to replace your fencing when the damage is too big. Most will just continue to grow and eat away at your wood.
If you are tired of the wood fencing, you can always switch to vinyl fencing or aluminum fencing. It lasts longer, looks nice and easily maintained.
