Seasonal care

Fence Maintenance Guide for Four Seasons

Foothill fences take seasonal beatings—wet clay against posts, UV bleaching, pine pollen coating, and winter wind. A simple maintenance calendar extends life and avoids emergency repair after every March storm.

Spring After Rain

Walk line for lean posts, loose nails, and rot at soil line. Clear vegetation touching fence. Tighten chain link tension after soil softening.

Summer UV

Stain wood if color fading or water no longer beads. Lubricate gate hinges before dry season dust binds them.

Fall and Winter Prep

Trim overhanging limbs that snap in snow. Secure loose boards before wind events. Drainage check—water should not pool at posts.

  • Annual inspection walk
  • Stain wood every 3–5 years
  • Gate hardware lube
  • Vegetation clearance
