South Florida’s summer is full of sunshine, humidity, and occasional heavy rain — all factors that can take a toll on your fence. At Zepco Fence, we know how important it is to keep your fence looking great and standing strong throughout the season. Proper maintenance not only preserves your fence’s beauty but also extends its lifespan.
Tips to Keep Your Fence in Top Shape This Summer
1. Inspect Your Fence Regularly
Frequent checks help you catch any damage early. Look for loose boards, rust spots on metal fences, or signs of mold and mildew caused by humidity.
2. Clean Your Fence Often
Removing dirt, algae, and mildew buildup is essential in South Florida’s humid climate. Use a mild detergent mixed with water and a soft brush or pressure washer on a low setting to clean your fence without damaging it.
3. Treat Wood Fences with Sealant
Wood fences are beautiful but vulnerable to moisture. Applying a high-quality water-resistant sealant annually protects the wood from warping, cracking, and rotting.
4. Lubricate Metal Fence Components
Hinges and latches on aluminum or metal fences can rust or seize up due to humidity. Regularly lubricate these parts to keep them functioning smoothly.
5. Trim Nearby Plants and Trees
Overgrown foliage can trap moisture against your fence, accelerating decay and corrosion. Keep plants trimmed back to allow airflow and sunlight to reach your fence.
Why Regular Maintenance Matters
In South Florida, the combination of humidity and heat means your fence faces more wear and tear than in many other climates. Staying on top of maintenance not only keeps your fence looking beautiful but also prevents costly repairs down the road.
