Winter Fence Maintenance Tips for Boise, ID

With the colder months fast approaching, you’ll want to start thinking about how you can best prepare your fence to withstand the winter. Living in Boise, Idaho means that the weather can be extreme. With hotter summers and colder winters comes a lot of extra wear and tear on any type of fence, be it cedar wood fencing, wrought iron fencing, or your traditional vinyl fences or gates. A lot of direct sunlight can damage the integrity of your fencing material if it isn’t properly stained or sealed, and then come winter the extra dampness and even snow can cause cracks, warping and water stains. We’ve compiled a list of ways to maintain your fence before the winter season hits so that you can avoid the extra cost and hassle of a broken or damaged fence: 


Things to do before winter: 


  • Repair your fence now: It is important to fix a broken fence before the winter season hits. Replacing necessary parts and fixing damaged areas can help the entire fence withstand the strong winds come winter. At Certified Fencing, we offer fence and gate repair services so you don’t have to worry about the hassle of figuring out how to fix a fence yourself! 

  • Cut back trees and branches: If branches near your fence become heavy with snow, they could fall onto the fence and cause an expensive problem to fix. 

  • Create a maintenance plan: Some types of fencing like vinyl, aluminum or wrought iron fences only need a little bit of care, while others take more regular check ups and maintenance. Cedar fences and gates especially take regular care to keep them in good condition.




Things to during winter: 


  • Make fence staining, sealing and painting a priority. While it may seem like a lot of extra busy work, this is an absolute must for wood fence maintenance. At Certified Fencing, we can do anything from fence repair to fence maintenance so that you don’t have to deal with the hassle of fence upkeep. 

  • Regularly clear your fence of snow and ice: By clearing away snowdrifts that are up against your fence as well as ice sitting on top, you will lessen the strain on your fence. This will lower the chance of your fence falling over, which has been known to happen in the Boise, Idaho area.
