Visually Inspect For Animals

Animals love to find ways to make your fence their new home – especially bee’s (yikes!). Every spring and summer, make sure to visually inspect your fence and make sure you do not see any holes. Even small holes in your fence could mean a big nest. You’ll want to take the necessary steps to safely rid the animals of your fence.

Check The Stain or Paint

One of the most important things you can do to keep your fence looking brand new is to stain/paint it. Staining your fence provides more protection because a stain actually goes farther into the fence, whereas paint stays only on the top layer. By staining your fence you will not have to deal with chipped paint either.

Replace Broken Pieces

Often times a fence can break due to harsh weather (especially here in New Jersey where we get some pretty big hurricanes). If your fence breaks, don’t worry. Here at Anello Fence, we have all the necessary materials to fix your broken fence. Give us a call and we’ll be over to make it look brand new again!

Congrats – you’ve installed your new wood fence and it looks great!

But now you have to make sure it is properly maintained to keep it lasting a lifetime. Fortunately for you, Anello Fence only uses the highest quality wood fencing materials there is. However, wood is still prone to damage from extreme weather conditions and animals. Use the tips below to make sure that your new wood fence stays in pristine condition.

• Every few months make sure to inspect your fence for damages. Falling branches from high winds can fall on your fence. Even the smallest crack can open the treated wood, leading to rot.
• Before the winter months, check your wood fence for animal nests. Birds and squirrels love to burrow their way into man-made object, this is especially true for fencing. You’ll want to have the animal safely removed from the fence and have the fence repaired.
• Clean your fence regularly. Mold can eat away at the top, treated layer of your fence, leaving it more susceptible to weather damage. Make sure to run a power washer over your fence when necessary.

Vinyl fences are some of the most attractive fences available to homeowners today. They are an easy, yet cost effective way to add immediate value to the home, and accentuate the home’s natural landscape. Being the most durable, long lasting fence on the market, it’s easy to see why vinyl fences have quickly become a favorite material for homeowners across the country.

In the past, wooden fence was primarily used, and there were certain costs associated with the upkeep – painting, staining, sealing, and replacement. As an alternative to wood, vinyl fence has become a more modern style, turning into the more popular option to its counterpart. It is being used for both commercial and residential use, to add decorative layout, privacy, safety and security. Perhaps the most convincing aspect of this fencing material is that vinyl fences are literally maintenance free and come with a lifetime warranty on the product.

Vinyl fences are easy to clean, resistant to weathering, and have low maintenance requirements. It is very easy to up keep, requiring only a cleaning with soap and bubbles or a light power wash once a year. Because vinyl is generally available in a wide variety of styles and colors, it saves time and money on maintenance, and replacing rotted, warped or splintered wood every few years, like with traditional wood fences. You’ll never have to pay money for any fencing expenses ever again!

Sure those birds are pretty and look sweet perched on your beautiful wooden fence but they also tend to leave bird droppings that are anything but attractive. Bird droppings are also difficult to wash off of your wood fence. Fortunately, there is a very easy solution that won’t harm the birds and won’t deter from the beauty of your wooden fence.

First, you’ll need…
Fishing Line
Galvanized Screws
Screwdriver
Drill and Small Drill Bit

1. Drill pilot holes approximately every three foot of your wood fence. Be certain the holes are smaller than your screws. By taking the time to drill pilot holes, you will prevent cracking the wood fence when you screw in the screws. These pilot holes do not need to be deep at all.

2. Insert your screws into each pilot hole. Do not screw them down flush to the fence. You need a bit of the screw to sit up so you can fasten your fishing line to it.

3. Fasten your fishing line to the first screw one on end of your wooden fence and proceed to wrap the line once or twice around the top of each exposed screw. Keep the line snug.

4. Observe the birds behavior. If they try to land on your wood fence the line is in the way and they can’t perch on fishing line. They will get frustrated and find a new place to perch. If you use transparent fishing line, nobody will be the wiser – except the birds, that is.

Don’t forget….Keep a watch on the line. If it becomes damaged or breaks off, replace it. If loose, it could be a danger to the birds and other animals or children.
