or most homes, fences fulfil the important role of protecting the property from unwanted looks and intruders. Whether a fence is inherited from a previous homeowner or you've put it up yourself, it's important to take good care of it in order to make it last - as putting up a new fence can be costly and time-consuming.

If your fence has become damaged, make sure you fix the damage as soon as possible to avoid further damage through water entering the wood or the fence becoming instable.
