We pay close attention to every step of the fence repair and restoration process, right down to how we replace the rails. When the time comes to replace worn or broken rails, we take a planned method that is meant to make your fence look better and last longer.
In order to be clear, when we change fence rails, we don’t just put the new ones in the same spot as the old ones. We choose a way in which the new rails are put in place just above or below where the old rails were. This method can be used for more than one thing:
- Better Structural Integrity: By putting new posts above or below the old ones, we make the fence more stable by spreading the stress and weight out more evenly. This keeps the same spots from getting weaker over time and makes it less likely that the same spots will fail again. The fence gets a “fresh start” in terms of where weight and pressure are put on it.
- Better durability: This way, we can escape old screw holes and weak spots in the wood where old rails were attached. Over time, these places can be broken into, which can make attachments less safe if they are used again. By moving the fence to new spots, we can be sure that the rails are fixed in wood that is stronger and less likely to be damaged. This makes the fence last longer overall.
- Aesthetics: The durability and strength of the fence should always be the first priority, but how it looks is also important. We can often get a cleaner, more regular look by moving rails to new locations. This is because we’re not limited by the wear patterns or discoloration that may be around old rail sites.
- For a longer time: This method can make your fence last longer. By carefully picking where to put new rails, we can make sure that the building as a whole gets an even amount of support. This can help the fence last longer by preventing damage from the elements and heavy use.
