Prepare your fence for the season with these effective strategies.

Why Idaho Fences Need Winter Attention

Your fence faces snow, ice, and cold during Idaho's winters. Taking a few preventative steps now can save you costly repairs later.

Winter Fence Maintenance Checklist

Damage Inspection: The First Step

Look out for structural weaknesses like rot or loose posts. Repair early to keep minor issues from escalating.

Refresh Your Fence Before Snow Hits

Remove dirt, debris, and mold. Vinyl fences need just a quick hose-down. A mild cleaning agent works well on wood.

Protect Your Fence with Sealant

Sealant helps wooden fences resist moisture and cold-related cracking.

Prune Overhanging Branches

Branches near fences are a hazard during snowstorms. Regular pruning keeps your fence safe from tree damage.

Avoid Fence Stress with Regular Snow Clearing

Snow build-up adds stress and may harm your fence. Avoid heavy tools; a broom works best for snow clearing.
