Tips for Choosing the Right Fencing Configuration

1. Assess Your Needs

Are you fencing for livestock, creating a feature for your garden, or marking the perimeter of a subdivision? Your specific needs will determine the ideal rail configuration and timber treatment level.

2. Consider the Environment and Surroundings

It’s always important to consider the environment and surroundings where the fencing will be installed. The right solution should complement and enhance its setting, delivering an aesthetically pleasing result that’s truly hard to beat.
3. Plan for the Long Term

Investing in high-quality fencing may come at a higher upfront cost, but it pays off in longevity and reduced maintenance. The INTERLOCK system is a reliable choice that minimizes repair expenses over time.

Caring for Your INTERLOCK Post and Rail Fencing

To keep your fencing looking great and performing well, follow these simple maintenance tips:

1. Inspect Regularly: Check for signs of wear, damage, or loose rails and address any issues promptly.
2. Clean Annually: Use a soft brush and mild detergent to remove dirt and debris.
3. Reapply Paint or Stain:  If your fence is painted or stained, consider reapplying the finish once its protective lifespan has been reached to maintain its appearance and durability.
4. Trim Vegetation: Vegetation in constant contact with the timber can reduce the lifespan of its treatment by exposing it to more intensive conditions than anticipated. Additionally, consider trimming plants or trees hanging over the fence, as they can create drip points that accelerate wear. While some factors may be unavoidable, minimizing them wherever possible helps protect your fence and extend its life.
