Spring is soon approaching, and now is the time to start thinking about maintaining and sprucing up your chain link fence. PrivacyLink can help with products like chain link fence plastic slats and more. 

 

To get your chain link fence ready for the spring season, you can give it a good deep clean, inspect it for damage and needed repairs, and apply a protective coating. 

 

Cleaning 

 

  • Use a pressure washer and mild soap to remove dirt and debris from your chain link fence. 
  • A garden house, scrub brush, and soapy water also work well if you prefer to clean your fence by hand. 

 

Inspecting And Repairing

 

  • Look for damage that snow, ice, or wind may have caused over the winter season.
  • Check for any signs of rust, especially along the bottom of the fence where it has most contact with moisture.
  • Make sure water doesn’t pool around the fence posts. 
  • Inspect hardware and latches to ensure they’re working property.
  • Look for any signs of damage that may have been causes by pests.

 

Applying A Protective Coating

 

  • Chain link fences come with a factory coating that should last for years and make the fence highly durable.
  • With that said, you may periodically opt to apply a rust-resistant coating or painting, especially along the bottom of the fence where it’s more vulnerable to moisture.

 

Improving Appearance

 

  • You can improve the appearance of the fence with chain link fence plastic slats. This product also provides added privacy, as well as wind and sound protection.
