Fence reparation is a task that home owners should devote a few hours two every couple months or so, since there is a pretty good chance that the wood that your fence posts were constructed from might need a bit of extra care at that interval. The thing is, wood is quite delicate so you can’t be too rough with it otherwise your fencepost might just snap right into which would not be something you would enjoy.
The truth of the situation is that hiring a pressure washing service to come and clean your fence can make the rest of the maintenance process a bit less challenging. This is because of the fact that they can remove not just the dirt that has accumulated on the wooden fence post but also strip it of old paint. You can therefore give the fence a fresh whitewashing after your professionals have accomplished their given task, although we would recommend that you wait a bit because the efficacy of pressure washing means that the wood of your fence will be plump with absorbed moisture.
When you stain a fence, you ideally want to get done with just a single coating. Unfortunately, water absorbed during pressure washing will leak out over the next couple of days, so you should let the fence posts sit out to dry during this period. Laying them flat on the ground might help them dry faster, but the fact of the matter is that you still need to wait forty to fifty hours. Water can get quite deep into the wood, so even if your fence appears dry it might still be wet inside.
