Many homeowners choose to install a wood fence to create privacy, security, and increase the value of their property.
Although these fences can last for many years to come, they eventually need to be replaced at some point.
So, if you have a GTA wood fence but aren’t sure if it’s time to replace it, here are five signs that indicate you should before it becomes too late:
The Wood is Rotting
One of the first signs that your fence needs to be replaced is if you see that the wood is rotting. This usually happens because conditions were damp enough for biological decomposition to begin. If you see that the wood has cracks or holes, or is missing pieces, then it’s time to replace your fence.
The Fence is Leaning Over
If your fence leans to one side, it’s probably time to replace it. This happens because the posts at the bottom have rotted and can no longer support the weight of the fence. This can be due to extreme weather conditions, shallow fence posts, rotten or warped wood, among other reasons.
The Paint is Peeling
If your fence is painted and the paint is peeling and flaking off, it may be time to replace it. Peeling and flaking paint indicates moisture getting into the wood, which causes the wood to rot and the paint to peel.
The Boards are Missing or Damaged
Fence boards can get damaged or lost one by one. This can be due to severe weather conditions or damage from animals or lawn equipment. If you see that the boards are missing or damaged, it’s time to replace the fence before it begins to look ugly and become less safe.
The Wood Fence is Too Old
As long as you are properly maintaining your wooden fence by replacing individual planks and boards as needed, it can easily last for up to 20 years or more. However, if your fence is approaching the age mark or simply looks very old and worn down, it’s probably time for a complete replacement.
