Common Mistakes to Avoid in Cedar Fence Installation
Common Mistakes to Avoid in Cedar Fence Installation
Posted by on 2023-12-23
Cedar fencing is a popular choice for many homeowners, offering a durable and attractive look to their outdoor space. However, it is important to take care when installing your cedar fence to ensure that it lasts for years and looks great. Here are some common mistakes to avoid when installing a cedar fence:
One mistake people often make is failing to properly prepare the site before installation. This involves ensuring that the ground is level and clear of any debris or obstructions that could affect the fence’s stability. Additionally, setting posts too deeply or not using enough gravel in the post holes can lead to instability as well.
Another mistake is failing to use proper tools for installation. Using inadequate tools can cause problems such as poor nailing techniques or uneven spacing between boards. It is also important to use galvanized nails so they do not rust over time, which could compromise the integrity of the fence.
Finally, sealing your cedar fence after installation is essential in order to protect it from moisture damage and discoloration due to weathering. Applying sealant too soon can trap moisture inside the wood and cause rotting; therefore, it should be applied at least six months after installation has been completed for optimal results.
By avoiding these common mistakes during cedar fence installation, you can ensure your new addition looks beautiful and stands up against wear and tear for years down the road!
