Spring cleaning season is in full swing – it is a great time to pay attention to the condition of your property fence. It is not only an element that defines the boundaries of the plot, but above all a key element of property protection.

A good fence will protect your property from intruders, wild animals or unfavorable weather conditions. We suggest what to look for when choosing and maintaining a fence and how to take advantage of the possibility of subsidies.

What is important when choosing a fence?

In order for the fence to be functional and durable, it is worth considering several key aspects:

Material resistant to weather conditions The best choice is steel, galvanized and powder-coated fences, which are durable and resistant to corrosion. Wooden fences require more frequent maintenance and may deteriorate more quickly.

Easy to keep clean

It is worth choosing fencing systems with a surface with low dirt adhesion. Thanks to this, you can quickly remove dirt caused during gardening or agricultural work.

Simple and quick installation

In the case of large areas – such as farms – speed and ease of installation are of great importance. Modular fencing systems are perfect for such conditions.

Adaptation to the user’s needs

In the case of farms, it is worth considering wide, sliding industrial gates that will allow easy entry of large machines such as combines or tractors.

How to maintain a fence?

Regular maintenance of the fence is a guarantee of its longevity. Here are some tips:

Technical inspections – Regularly check the condition of hinges, fasteners and structural elements.

Cleaning – Remove mud, plant debris or sediments using mild detergents.

Maintenance of protective coatings – If you notice damage to the paint or varnish, quickly replenish it to prevent corrosion.

Financing for investment in fencing If you are a farmer, you can take advantage of funding programs for the construction of fences that protect your farm from wild animals and diseases such as ASF. To receive support, the fence must meet certain requirements:

Minimum height of 1.5 m,

Presence of a foundation,

Lockable gates and wickets.
