How to Benefit from an Automated Gate System
Homeowners are always looking for ways to improve their home. Sometimes improvements are made to increase the overall value of the home, others to improve the security of the home. Did you know there is a way to increase the security and value of your home at the same time? An automated gate system by Hercules Fence can bring several benefits to a home, including security and value.
Why an Automated Gate System?
- Curb Appeal- A fence already adds a certain level of curb appeal to your home. An automated gate system increases that curb appeal level by adding sophistication to the entrance of your home. It also shows that you care about your house and its overall appearance.
- Child Safety- Parents can rest easy knowing their children are safe while playing in the yard. The gate system will prevent the child from leaving the yard while also preventing strangers from entering.
- Security- An automated gate system becomes the first line of defense against crime for your home. Criminals attempting to invade your home will be deterred when they are unable to get past your gate.
- Insurance- Because gate systems deter crime, some insurance providers may be willing to give you breaks for having a system for your yard.
- Pet Safety-Your pets will stay safe within your yard while keeping other animals away. Children and teenagers passing your yard are also unable to see your pet, deterring them from tormenting your pet.
- Property Value- The higher your curb appeal, the higher your property value typically is. An automated gate system tends to make selling a home easier.
- Privacy- Are solicitors common in your neighborhood? Do children like to cut through your yard while walking home from school? Add a layer of privacy to your home with an automated gate system.

Extending the Life of your Wood Fence
When homeowners install a wood fence, they are making an investment on their home. A wood fence adds elegance and security to a home while also increasing the curb appeal and overall value of the home. While a wood fence holds many benefits for homeowners, they do require some maintenance from time to time. This may seem difficult; however, the steps you can take to extend the life of your fence are simple and inexpensive.Some steps homeowners can take to extend the life of their wood fence are:
- Cleaning- Use a power washer or strong hose to clean your fence of dirt and debris. Soap for dishes mixed with a bleach solution can be effective at cleaning the fence while also removing any mold spores that may have grown.
- Repairing- Walk the entire length of your fence in search for areas that need to be repaired. This can include loose hinges, broken locks, and damaged boards. This is also a good time to ensure the posts for your fence are still firmly in the ground.
- Staining- Once your fence has dried, you can now apply a petroleum stain to the wood. This stain will seep into the top layer of the wood to protect your fence for longer.
- Finishing- Once you have finished these main steps, you can then decide to add a wood preservative to your fence as well. It is also a good idea to use grease to lubricate the locks and hinges of your wood fence to ensure they remain in working order.
At Hercules Fence, we specialize in the installation and maintenance of wood fences throughout the Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina areas. Our professionals use only the highest quality wood materials to install your fence at a price that is reasonable and affordable.
