Was Your Fence Damaged By A Hurricane?
Posted by Frank Langone on Tue, Aug 30, 2011
During the hurricane season your fence can be easily damaged. Strong winds can blow down large branches. Entire trees can be uprooted, landing on your fence. Often the damage can only be repaired by replacing what was there with new fencing materials.
Hopefully this hurricane season will pass you and your family and cause no damage to your home and property. If your home is spared but your property and yard were not so fortunate, you will have to take down the damaged wire and replace it.
If wood post and rail with attached wire was damaged you can replace the wire with perhaps a vinyl coated wire for long life. 2"x3" or 2"x4" and smaller meshes are available that will keep your pets and children securely in the yard. Many people prefer black vinyl coated wire as it blends in very well with the background. It does not stand out as galvanized wire tends to do.
Did your pool wire get damaged? Your pet fencing? Your garden fence? Fencing materials protecting your flowers and shrubs, especially from deer? There are many different types of welded and woven wire meshes available in both galvanized and vinyl coated finishes. And there is a wide variety of plastic meshes from which to choose.
If you decide to do these repairs yourself, remember that there are many types of fencing materials available that you will never find in your local big box store. Why not go for something different and better?
Are you having difficulty finding the type of fence you want?
Are you frustrated by the absence of knowledge about fencing materials encountered in most retail stores?
