Essential Maintenance Tips 

​

To ensure the longevity and structural integrity of your vinyl fence, adhere to the following maintenance practices: 

• Gate Adjustments: Inspect and adjust the gate alignment every spring to maintain proper operation. Gate adjustments and leveling are routine maintenance tasks that homeowners are responsible for. 

• Hinge Maintenance: Lubricate the gate hinges and tighten any loose screws annually to ensure smooth operation and prevent sagging. 

• Wind Protection: Prevent the gate from swinging freely in high winds to avoid structural damage. Secure the gate when not in use. 

• Prevent Misuse: Discourage children from swinging or climbing on the gate to maintain alignment and prevent excessive stress on the structure. 

• Post Stability: Periodically check fence posts for any signs of shifting. If posts become loose, re-tamp the soil and realign them to maintain structural stability. 

 

By following these recommended cleaning and maintenance practices, you can preserve the durability, appearance, and functionality of your vinyl fence for years to come.
