Low Maintenance Fence Options in Boise, ID

We understand that earning a good reputation is something that takes time and effort to cultivate, and we strive to offer high-quality services to our friends and neighbors here in Boise, ID and all surrounding areas. We value the client experience and prioritize our clients’ satisfaction, and part of that is to deliver the kind of fencing options that best suit each client’s needs. One common consideration is whether a specific fencing material requires a lot of maintenance; we understand that our clients lead busy lives, and we offer only options that are convenient. Here’s the rundown on several of the most popular fencing materials: 


CHAIN LINK FENCING

A durable and affordable material that offers security, chain link fencing is a favorite among our commercial fencing clients as its advantages make it well-suited for businesses, schools, public parks, and other larger properties. Our top tips for maintaining your chain link fence are: 

  • Regularly clean your fence. You can use a hose to quickly spray down your fence and use a little bit of dish soap and a scrub brush or dish towel on dirty or stained areas. Keeping your fence clean can prevent corrosion and breakdown. 

  • Keep things clear of your fence. From climbing vines to children, keeping things away from your fence can extend its lifespan. Plants can grow through and distort or even burst through the links over the years, and children climbing on a chain link fence risk bending support posts and can pull the links away from the posts. 

  • Apply rust protection annually. Treating your fence with an anti-rust coating every year can keep it durable against the elements and less likely to be damaged. Thoroughly coat your fence each year, taking special care along the bottom of the fence where it’s likely to be exposed to prolonged moisture. 


CEDAR WOOD FENCING

A warm, beautiful option most popular among residential clients, cedar wood has a special charm to it due to its organic and naturally rot- and mold-resistant properties as a hardwood. We love the privacy it affords. Tips to maintain your cedar wood fence are: 

  • Replace broken or rotted boards immediately. Rot can spread to other boards, and broken slats may put the integrity of the entire fence at risk. Cedar wood fence boards typically come in standard sizes, so replacing a single board should be a simple task. 

  • Stain or paint your fence regularly. If you notice wear before you were planning on staining or painting your fence, go ahead and paint it as soon as possible. We typically recommend staining or painting your fence every 3-5 years, which can help it withstand the elements and thus improve its lifespan. 

  • Keep your fence dry. Don’t allow soil or a pile of leaves to spend long pushed up against your fence, and where possible, avoid excessive exposure from sprinklers or other water sources. Water damage can occur, and water can cause rot. 


VINYL FENCING

A sleek, modern look that can be used for everything from a classic white picket fence to a split rail fence to residential privacy fences, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) fencing, also commonly called vinyl fencing, has taken the industry by storm. Maintenance tips include: 

  • Wash your fence. Regularly washing your fence with a hose or pressure washer will help prevent buildup. Pay special attention to mold and mildew, which can weaken your fence if they’re allowed to linger on the surface. A scrub brush and some dish soap will help remove any stubborn spots on the fence. 

  • Regularly inspect your fence. Vinyl often sustains damage over lengths of time, so inspecting your fence regularly for scratches and dents can prevent greater, long-term damage. Keep an eye out for overhanging branches, as these can scratch your fence. 

  • Immediately fix damages. If you notice any scratches or dents, fix them with a vinyl fence patch kit as soon as possible. This simple task can save you a lot of headache as it prevents your fence from breaking down further.
