Is your fence looking a little bit worse for wear? Is your wood fence leaning to the side or full of peeling paint? Is your vinyl fence looking like it needs a hug? Improving the appearance of your fence is a simple weekend project that can be done to many different types of fences. Here are our best suggestions for improving the appearance of your fence this weekend.
Replace Your Fence
This is the least popular option for improving the appearance of a fence, but it can be completely necessary. If your fence is very old or damaged, replacement is often the only appropriate option. Call a professional fence installation company to see if they think it can be repaired, but start saving to replace the entire length of fence outright. Many times, small repairs on a wood fence with insect damage or wood rot don’t go far enough and end up simply wasting money that could have been spent on a new fence.
Fix Your Fence
Many ugly fences can be fixed by simply repairing the problems with them, depending on the type of fence. A wood fence that is faded and weathered is often simply due for a new coat of wood stain or paint. If you have a chain link fence, you can often replace portions of it without needing to replace the entire thing. Many fences get loose posts over time that cause portions of the fence to sag. Fixing the posts can be the perfect way to revitalize the look of the entire fence!
Disguise Your Fence
If you have an unattractive fence that is in good condition and structurally sound, the best option might just be to hide as much of it as possible. Use shrubs or other plants and paint the fence a neutral color to blend in with the surrounding landscaping.
