Does your property fencing need a little pick-me-up? Painting or staining your fence is a great way to achieve this - if you know the best way to go about it, of course.
For a quick and simple guide to giving your fence a face lift, see below:
Think climate. Fence rot is contingent upon moisture and painting or staining your fence helps to create a barrier. Therefore, when considering how often you should reface your fence, check the weather! If you live in a particularly rainy climate, you may want to do so more often, whereas a rather dry climate calls for less of a need. Either way, you're looking at every two years or so.
Consider your options. To paint or to stain? That is the question. Well - it's up to you! Painting is typically less expensive but may require more frequent maintenance. Stain, on the other hand, may be more expensive to buy but it could also provide a nice finish. While paint will chip and peel over time, stain will simply fade away.
Make a plan. Call a friend for help and set a date! It is a large project to undergo so you are going to want some assistance. As far as the materials are concerned, do your research on quality of paint and stain options before heading to the store - as a way to avoid confusion. Make any necessary repairs to the fence prior to setting up your work space and then, preferably on a warm, sunny day, give it a whirl.

Considering a vinyl fence installation? Vinyl fencing comes in 3 main styles - all of which require no maintenance and last longer than traditional wood fencing options. Though the initial cost is slightly more expensive, it pays for itself in savings.
Privacy: The tall and solid fences are good for creating a barrier. Whether it be around your fence, property line, or to block off a major roadway, this option is a perfect concealer.
Picket: Like the view surrounding your property, or just looking for a certain appeal? This option is slightly shorter and is not a solid enclosure - allowing you to see out while also keeping pets and children in.
Shadowbox: Have a neighbor you like but still want to define your property boundaries? Alternating panels allow you to create a nice look on either side of the fence while also keeping some privacy.

Fence at Buckingham Palace. Meant to protect the British royal and symbolize majesty, this elaborate structure can be found in London, England.
Lock Fence. Ever been to Paris? You'll want to go with your sweetheart. Here you can find thousands of locks secured onto the chain link fence with keys that have been thrown away into the river.
Dingo Fence. The reason for Australia's extensive Kangaroo population, this 3,400 miles fence was built in the late 1800's to protect sheep from the attack of wild dogs.

Well-maintained exterior fencing adds value and beauty to anyone's home. To ensure you have a fence you'll love for years to come, we're sharing a few tips and tricks where fence repair is concerned.
Increased property value. Though a more subtle benefit of fence repair, an updated fencing structure adds value to your home.
Consistency. Fence repair adds more value and benefit to a home when the fence style and design is kept consistent. Replacing individual parts can be tricky, as it becomes obvious which parts are newer than others. Consider taking pieces from a less visible spot to repair obvious problems in your fencing and replace the hidden parts with new components.
Rotting. Contact with the ground makes rot a popular reason for fence repair needs. Generous amounts of wood preservative will help eliminate this problem from spreading after loose fence components are secured with wood scrap or metal braces.
Replacement. A wood fence typically lasts about 20 years with regular maintenance. If your fence is older than this and has seen its fair share of repairs, consider a new fence installation. Today, there are many more fencing options available with longer life expediencies than there was decades ago.

While wood fencing brings a quality look to your home's exterior, it definitely can be harder to maintain than other materials. To keep your wood fencing in good condition and to ensure it can hold up through its entire life cycle with minimal repairs, turn to these few tips below:
1. Coat your wood fence with a water-repellent preservative and sealant or even an exterior stain, which typically includes a sealant as well. These products are not that expensive and will keep wood from rotting.
2. Keep bushes, vines and sprinklers off and away from your wood fencing. The weight and pressure of bushes and vines is not good for your wood fencing and the water and moisture from sprinklers will enable rotting.
3. Keep an eye on the nails, replacing ones that have popped out or adding additional ones to loose boards. Aluminum or stainless steel nails will reduce discoloration, as they don't rust.
4. Keep the surface intact. Sand down rough patches or broken wood now and again. An occasional power wash will eliminate grime and other buildup, as well.
