If you have had a fence in your backyard for a while, you might have noticed that over time some of the pickets on the fence are starting to warp. Why and how does that happen? When a fence doesn’t have a stain applied to it, the wood is left exposed to moisture. The wood will absorb that moisture and expand, eventually the moisture will also evaporate and the wood will shrink leading to potential warpage. Now what can you do to prevent this warping? There are a couple different solutions to help prevent warping, and luckily, Denver Fence Guys offers all of these solutions! First off, use the right wood for your fence. A thicker, higher quality wood such as Western Red Cedar, is more resistant to warping compared to cheaper wood used by other fencing companies. Another way to prevent warping is applying a stain to your fence. A stain offers protection from moisture and sunlight and is a great form of protection against fence warping. Denver Fence Guys also has a sister company Denver Fence Staining that can stain your fence after installation! With the investment in a quality fencing company, and the application of a stain, you will have a fence that looks great for many years to come!
