There is no doubt that choosing to install a Chain Link Fence in Cleveland OH on a residential property is a great idea. While the fencing does not need a lot of maintenance, there are a few things that the property owner can do to keep it in top shape. Here are a few tips that will help.
Invest in a Coating
While the Chain Link Fence in Cleveland OH can reasonably be expected to hold up well without any type of additional coating, wouldn’t it be nice to get another two or three decades of use from the fencing? This can be accomplished by adding a protective coating to the chain link and the posts. A contractor can help the client explore the three main types of coating and settle on the one that will serve the client well.
Get Rid of the Green
It may look pretty to let that ivy crawl up along the Chain Link Fence in Cleveland OH, but rest assured it will shorten the life of the fence. The best move is to keep the ivy and any other running greenery clipped so that it makes a great border around the base of the fence. Doing so will mean there are no points along the fencing where extra moisture is maintained, and the potential for discoloration or rusting is kept to a minimum.
Soap, Water, and a Soft Brush is Enough
The fence does need to be cleaned annually. There’s no need for special cleaning agents. Add a mild detergent to a pail of water and apply with a soft bristle brush. There are also attachments for the garden hose that make it possible to mix the detergent in the water while the fence is sprayed. Getting rid of any grime that has built up since the last cleaning will protect the sheen of the fencing and ensure it looks new.
If investing in a fence has been on the owner’s mind for some time, today is the day to call R & M Fence. A contractor will visit the home and talk with the owner about different fencing options. Once a decision is made, the contractor will ensure the fence is in place as quickly as possible.
