Your new wooden fence looks great now, but if you do not properly maintain it, it will not last very long. Sun, wind and especially water can wreak havoc on your fence. But a little preventative maintenance can go a long way to extend the life of your wooden fence.

How to Stain Your Wooden Fence
Nothing looks quite as nice as a wooden fence surrounding your yard. A wooden fence adds a certain element of elegance and aesthetic appeal that other fences simply cannot compete with. But whether you have an old fence that needs a little touch up, or you have just had a new fence installed, all wooden fences need to be annually stained. This will not only keep your fence looking its best, but it will also protect your fence from the harsh outdoor weather (rain, sun, snow, wind, etc.).

Christmas in April
Recently Hercules Fence had the privilege of giving back to the Prince George’s County community and partnering with a University of Maryland sponsored organization called “Christmas in April”. Christmas in April looks for opportunities to help residents on and around the University of Maryland campus with needed repairs to their home and properties to both beautify the County, and assist its residents. Hercules Fence was contacted by Christmas in April who inquired if we would be willing to donate a new fence and gate to the front of the home during the renovations. Not only did we jump at the opportunity, but provided upgraded vinyl coated material, a brand new gate, and fence in the backyard as well. We worked with several other area contractors to make the job happen over the course of one rainy weekend, and are proud that we were able to serve a community that has given so much to us through over 50 years of business. Hercules Fence is proud of its partnership with Christmas in April, the University of Maryland, and Prince George’s County.

Benefits of PVC Vinyl Fencing
Vinyl fencing is taking the world by storm because of its clean appearance and long life with minimal maintenance. What’s not to love?
Unlike wooden fences, PVC will not warp, rot or splinter and UV inhibitors are added to ensure that your fence will be looking great for years to come. Plus, the tensile strength of vinyl is five times the strength of wood – meaning a PVC fence will require five times more strength to destroy than a wooden fence.
If you want a certain look without having to tediously paint for hours, vinyl is the way to go. And if you still desire that classic wood look, vinyl fencing can be embossed to resemble wood.
This article outlines even more of the benefits of vinyl fencing.
- Because of their flexibility, vinyl fences are great in areas with high winds or frequent storms.
- Vinyl fencing will not lose its color.
- The time and cost of maintenance for a vinyl fence is practically zero.
- They are very durable. They will not decompose or rust. Vinyl fences last long and look great for years.
- Vinyl fences are non-toxic.
- Vinyl Fencing is relatively cheap.
With so many advantages, it is hard to argue against vinyl. But in the end, some people just like the natural look of wood and do not mind the extra work it entails.
