Commercial fencing is a beneficial way to increase your business’s privacy and security. It’s also useful for improving the property’s curb appeal. However, all fencing material will eventually degrade. Knowing the signs of failure will allow you to replace all or part of the structure before any of these helpful qualities are impacted.

How to Tell You Should Update Your Commercial Fencing

1. Cracked or Warped Panels

Wood and vinyl fences are durable, but they will wear down after many years under the hot sun and battling harsh winds and rain. Wood can splinter and rot, and vinyl can warp and crack. It’s possible to replace a few sections at a time, but you’ll likely have to upgrade the entire fence if you neglect regular maintenance.

2. Scratches & Bent Posts

Aluminum ornamental fences have become increasingly popular due to their lightweight, durable, and low-maintenance qualities. Even so, the material is not immune to wear. The surface coating can develop scratches that diminish its sleek appearance. Also, strong impact can cause the rails to dent and bend. Usually, a fencing contractor can remove the damaged areas and repair or replace them.

3.  Discoloration

High-quality vinyl fences can withstand extreme weather conditions for decades. Unfortunately, they will start to develop some discoloration. While hard water and mildew stains become more difficult to remove as the commercial fencing ages, they can often be washed off with bleach and water. However, the sun’s UV rays create a yellowing effect that stains.
