We've seen a lot of rain this winter, but what happens if it snows? Cold months can pose harsh conditions for your wooden fence. Here's some simple tips for protecting it:
Clean out the spaces between your fence posts. When fallen debris, such as snow and leaves, becomes trapped, additional moisture will build where the wood is weaker - causing it to becoming moldy or rot.
Keep the cement footing of your fence free of debris and dirt, as well. Allowing moisture to build up at the bottom can cause soil to shift, which in turn will cause the fence to shift. Without proper care you may notice the structure of your fence is out of line come the spring.
Trim back your branches. Keeping limbs that hang over your fence short will prevent damage to your fence from falling. When snow builds up, tree bark becomes weaker and could potentially wreck the structure of your fence if it breaks off.

You might be a dog-lover or just have one for your children. Either way - constantly keeping an eye can become exhausting. And those three or four walks around the block a day?
Wouldn't it be great if you could let your pup roam free for a few hours and get in that much needed exercise right in your backyard? Fence in your furry friend keeping in mind the following points:
Consider your dog's personality. Does your dog have a temper or is it usually calm? Know how your pet interacts with passing people and animals before choosing a type of a fence to install. Mellow pets may handle an electronic fence fine while more aggressive ones may need a physical barrier.
Check with your local municipality. Rules and regulations will strike when you least expect it. Always check to see if a permit is required and verify expectations of your homeowner's association before you go in and install a new fence.
Hire someone for an electronic containment. Some fences are do-it-yourself material, while others should be left to the pros. If your thinking of installing a hidden fence, you'll want to have an expert come in an install a system that will work just right.
Take time for training. If you go with the electronic option you'll need to give your dog the rundown. Don't just install it and then set them free. Take time to train the animal with multiple family members present.
Maintenance. Electronic fences require no maintenance. All you have to do is change the battery in the dog's collar from time to time. A physical barrier, however, may require a little maintenance depending on what style you choose. Think about this ahead of time.
