To avoid the potential for damage due to accumulated debris and other materials, clear your fence's top surface of any objects. If you don't keep a watchful eye on this area from time to time it can also lead to shortening the lifespan of your fencing system by causing more wear and tear that will eventually need repair.
To protect against branches coming in contact with fences during high wind events or snapping off altogether in these situations, have routine maintenance work done around trees near property boundaries as they grow taller over time - sweeping them clean periodically is an effective way of ensuring continued safety!
Some Additional steps you can take to prolong the life of your fence include:
Cleaning - this involves removing dirt or other materials accumulated on top of the wood with an appropriate brush or broom;
Painting - painting will make sure that all areas where paint has worn away, peeling off completely, etc., can be repaired. This also helps ensure your yard looks good for years to come!
Checking up every year ensures you spot any problems early enough before expensive repairs need to take place
Anti-climb coatings are a great way to discourage unwanted intruders without ruining the aesthetics of your property. Coatings typically contain things like bitumen, polyester or acrylic gloss paint and are applied in an even layer over metal points on fencing panels where it can not be seen - nails included.
One of its many benefits is that when correctly installed, these coats act as deterrents against unwanted climbers without intruding on other areas with unsightly markings and obstructions!
If vegetation grows too close to your fence, there's a chance that it will eventually lead to expensive repairs. The best way is by maintaining an appropriate clearance zone of at least 60cm (or two feet) around the base of fencing panels or posts in order for them not be overwhelmed with roots which will inevitably have adverse effects on their stability over time.
