Always inspect your residential fence for signs of damage on a routine basis. Make sure to check any areas that you cannot normally see including behind bushes and sheds or less frequently visited areas of your residential property.

If you have a wood fence, we recommend staining your wood fence or working with our professional fence stainers to keep your fence in good condition.

A gate access control system is paired with automatic gate operators to regulate and monitor entry to a property through a gate. It typically includes devices such as keypads, key fobs, card readers, intercom systems, or even smartphone-based apps to grant authorized individuals access. After someone shows the correct credentials to the access control system including an ID card, pin number, or key fob, the access control system signals the automatic gate operator to open, allowing you to enter.
The main difference between a manual and automatic fence gate is how they are operated. A manual gate requires manual effort to open and close. On the other hand, an automatic gate is motorized using a gate operator and access control system, and can be operated remotely using devices such as a remote control, keypad, card reader, or smartphone app.
Staining your wood fence protects the natural materials from weathering. The sun, wind, and rail can all wreak havoc on the natural materials of a wood fence, and a high-quality stain can lessen these impacts. The stain helps condition the wood to prevent splitting and warping, while also protecting the wood from water to prevent rotting.
In general, we recommend having your wood fence stained every 2-3 years. The frequency of staining will depend on lots of different factors, including the age of your fence, the intensity of local weather conditions, how frequently your fence is exposed to the sun and water, and more. If you work with our team of professionals, we can advise you on how frequently your wood fence should be stained.
Professional fence staining is great for many reasons. Professionals have access to equipment and stains that can be expensive and difficult to obtain. Additionally, professionals have experience staining fences in the past, making it easier to apply an even coat across all surfaces of the fence. Best of all, hiring a professional means you get to spend less time standing outside staining a fence and more time with your loved ones.
At Fencers, we use professional-grade wood stains from Expert Stain and Seal. Their stains are proven, high-quality fence stains that are available in several different colors. Stains from Expert Stain and Seal are the best of both worlds!
The team at Fencers installs a wide range of railings to suit all different types of properties. We install aluminum, wood, vinyl, cable, and steel railings for Athens Georgia properties.
Different railings will require different maintenance routines. However, we always recommend inspecting your railings for any signs of damage or deterioration to prevent any injuries. Wood railings should be stained routinely to prevent rotting, warping, and splitting. Cable, vinyl, steel, and aluminum railings should be rinsed with clean water and a gentle cleanser as needed.
Adding a railing to your outdoor space is essential for safety and code compliance in certain situations. Generally, any outdoor space with an elevated surface, such as a deck, balcony, or staircase, that is more than a few feet off the ground should have a railing installed. Railing may also be needed if the outdoor area is frequented by children, elderly individuals, or individuals with mobility issues to prevent falls and provide support.
When shopping for the right railing for your property, you should consider the style of your home, the amount of maintenance you are willing to do, and your budget. In general, wood railings may be less expensive but will require more maintenance. Cable and steel railings often look at home on properties with a more modern aesthetic. Vinyl and aluminum railings are great for a wide range of spaces!
