Many homeowners take their fences for granted, but with the changing seasons in Australia, these might need extra attention. Here are some reasons you should renew your fencing:
Decaying wood posts. Most fences are made from wood. It is affordable, versatile and easy to obtain. Unfortunately, wood is organic and can only last for some years. Constant rain and extreme heat take its toll on the wood’s strength and may eventually lead to decay. Boardwalk.com.au recommends using aluminium slat fencing to replace old wood if you want durability.
Property expansion. If you are thinking of extending your outdoor or backyard space by pushing your fence outwards, chances are you cannot perfectly relocate your fence in one piece. Especially true for woods, woods are only as firm while planted on the ground and cemented.
Massive renovation. Renovating your driveway calls for overall hauling. Retaining your aged slat fence can only ruin the overall look of your landscape design. Accordingly, you should relate your fence design with the overall look of your outdoor. Instead of scrimping out on your fence, turn your whole driveway landscape into an investment and increase the curb appeal of your home.
Property selling. Once you decide to sell your home, you will need to evaluate key fixtures that need refurbishing, which includes your fences. Your fences are the first thing homebuyers can see upon visiting a property. Unless your old fences have historical value, replace your fences before the buyers arrive.
Damages. After exposure to harsh climate in Australia, it is not surprising to see your old wood slat fence to be a little battered. Don’t take cracks for granted and be assured of its functionality any time by replacing it immediately.
If you deduce it is time to replace your fence, do not just go for any kind of material. Look for the ones that are durable and long lasting.
