A fence is only as strong as its weakest point. One of the best ways to keep your perimeter secure is to perform regular fence maintenance to make sure any problem areas are identified and dealt with. Without regular maintenance, a high security fence will quickly become more of a decoration than a security measure.
Perimeter Check
Having a regular perimeter check scheduled is key to fence maintenance. Doing this once a month or so will help you quickly diagnose any issues so they can be addressed. Check both the inside and outside of the fence for damage, and any posts that are bent or broken. Fix any issues as soon as possible. Every day your fence stays broken is a day your perimeter is vulnerable.
Annual Cleaning
Go over the fence once a year with a power washer on low PSi. This will keep it clean and shiny, and give you a chance to see any hidden damage you may have missed during previous perimeter checks. Schedule your cleaning for a day you’d normally do a check to save yourself an extra trip and use this chance to get a good look at the fence after any buildup has been washed away.
Upgrade
Sometimes it’s best to skip the fence maintenance and go for an upgrade. You should have your high security fence upgraded every 10 years to keep your property protected. It’s also a good idea if your fence has suffered significant damage. High security fences in high traffic areas might need to be replaced more often due to accelerated deterioration.
