Iron fencing are beautiful, durable, and sturdy. These three qualities of iron fences are only a few of the reasons so many people choose to install iron fences at Rosemead, CA, homes. As visually stunning as these fences are, they do require maintenance.
Below are some general maintenance tips that all homeowners with iron fences should follow to keep them in their best condition.
Prevent Rusting
The biggest problem with iron fencing is
that it’s prone to rusting. To prevent this from happening,
homeowners need to perform maintenance on their fencing twice a year
to maintain the fencing’s beauty and durability.
Remove Rust
The first step is to remove any rust that
has accumulated. Use a fine wire brush to scrape away any rust
buildup. Don’t use heavy corded wire or rough sandpaper because
this will damage the fence.
Once the rust has been
removed, the next step is to rinse the fence using water and
detergent. Make sure the detergent is nonionic. Let the fence dry
naturally.
Touch-up Blemishes
If there are any spots on the fencing that need to be repainted, do this by applying an oil-based primer and follow up with a paint color that is similar to the fence. Painting the fence entirely may be necessary if colors can’t be matched or the fence has many chips or other blemishes.
