As your go-to fence installers for the Central Florida area, we’ve seen our fair share of estate gates and dumpster enclosures in need of a little TLC come spring time. Here are a few tips on how to get these property features back into great shape after the winter.
One thing we recommend at Big Woody’s Fence, Inc., is to do a spring cleaning on your fence after the weather warms up. This helps get rid of dirt, anything growing on the fence, stains, and other issues. But before you get started, it’s important to note that you should clean your residential and commercial dumpster enclosures or estate gates based on their material:
- Wood fences need heavy-duty washing with a good cleaning solution and a powerful washing tool. Use bleach or white vinegar with water and scrub up and down the fence for a deep, thorough cleaning. Then use a power washer to blast the mixture away. A garden hose just won’t be powerful enough to take care of this issue. Using the bleach or vinegar helps prevent mold and other growth.
- Cleaning vinyl fencing is easier because mold and other organic material don’t attack it the way it can wooden fences. All you need is a power washer to wash away the dirt and growth on the outside surface of the fence, dumpster enclosures, or estate gates. While cleaning your wooden fence can help it last for a couple of decades, a vinyl estate gate can last for up to 50 years with spring cleanings.
- Cleaning aluminum fences are even easier thanks to the material. You just need to wipe down the bars with a solution of vinegar to give them a shine. They don’t usually show dirt or growth due to the color, making this the most low-maintenance option for estate gates and other structures there is. This type of fencing will last as long as vinyl without the same level of care.
