Why You Should Maintain Your Fence

Fence maintenance goes beyond keeping your property neat. By checking for potential problems, you enhance your fence's lifespan. Montana Fence’s products are built for quality, but regular upkeep helps protect your investment.

Basic Maintenance for Every Fence Type

1. Check for IssuesundefinedEvery few months, inspect the fence for signs of damage. Early fixes prevent costly replacements.

2. Clean and Clear RegularlyundefinedA clean fence resists damage better. Use water and keep it clear of grass clippings to keep it fresh and maintained.

3. Keep Plants AwayundefinedPlants and vines can cause damage over time. Trim trees and shrubs back regularly to reduce moisture buildup and prevent pest problems.
