Miami Wood Fence

Wood fences in Miami are a popular style of fence to choose from, and is traditionally used for common family households. For Miami residents desiring an aesthetically beautiful home, matched with durable quality and affordable prices, wood fences are an excellent choice.  In fact, wood fence options typically involve two distinct types of wood; one being a less expensive wood called “pine pressure-treated wood,” and secondly, a more expensive wood that is not pressure-treated at all.  What’s the difference? Well, it’s important to note that pressure-treated wood may not be the most greatest-looking wood fence, but it’ll provide good enough resistance against weathering, bugs, and rodents.

As opposed to pine pressure-treated wood, Ipe is a more exotic tropical hardwood, and is more expensive as a result. This type of wood is very dense, so it’s mostly used for residents who are in need of durable fences. Also, another plus side to Ipe is that it doesn't require adding unpleasant chemicals to your fences as found in pine treatment.  They are great for providing resistance against unpredictable Miami, Florida weather conditions.

If you are not convinced that wood fences would be suitable for your home, there many other styles to choose from, so you should not limit yourself to only one style.  All Fencing and Repair  provides ornamental fences, aluminum fences, composite fences, and pvc. Remember, it’s always a good idea to apply a weather seal, no matter which type of wood fence you choose. This is the case for all wood fences installed in Miami, and benefits homeowners in the long run.

A weather seal will extend the expected life-time of your fence.  In fact, it is recommended to seal it properly every year, which will double the life-time of your fence.  And if you are sealing pressure-treated wood, it’s important to wait a few weeks before placing a water repellent.  Here’s a good test to know whether or not it’s the right time to seal your wood fence: sprinkle water on it, and if it absorbs the water quickly, then you can go ahead and seal it.  If not, let it dry some more and then seal it later.

Wood Fences: To Treat or Not to Treat?

Here’s a common homeowner question: When considering your wood fence options, is it better to purchase a less expensive wood that's been pressure-treated, or a more expensive wood that has not? The answer to that will vary greatly by the specific situation at hand, and the area of the county you live in. Pressure-treated pine is the standard when it comes to building a long-lasting affordable fence. Pressure-treated wood may not be the best looking of the wood fencing options, but for the price, it provides excellent resistance to rot and insects.

More exotic tropical hardwoods, like Ipe, can be quite expensive, but because of their density, can last for an extremely long time in our Florida outdoor setting without employing any of the harsh chemicals used to treat pine. Remember, wood fencing options are greatly available despite the fact that there other types of fences to choose from, such as ornamental fences, composite fences, aluminum fences, and pvc.

For wood fences installed in Florida, no matter what kind of wood fence you purchase, you'll have the option of applying a weather seal to it, and as result, extend its life. If sealed properly and annually, you might get double the duration out of your fence, compared to leaving it unsealed. When it comes to sealing pressure-treated wood, you may need to wait several weeks before applying a water repellent. You can test the wood by sprinkling water on it. If the wood absorbs water quickly, it's ready to be sealed. If the wood doesn't absorb water, let it dry for several weeks before sealing.

Rolling Gates and Fences

Whether you are creating an entirely new enclosure or completing an already started fencing project, adding the right gate is one of the most important parts of the process. For many types of fence projects, including chain link, aluminum, and wrought-iron fences, a rolling gate is much more effective and convenient.

Rolling gates provides added security to your residence or commercial property and it can be accessed as needed. One of the advantages of rolling gates it that it can be padlocked.

Rolling gates can be as affordable, yet effective as a chain-link fence, however it is not extremely secure and is not always the smoothest gate to move. Wood gates are also not typically used for rolling because they can be too heavy to effectively push or automatically move with a motor. The most common type of moving gate is aluminum. This type of gate can be seen all across Miami in car lots, parking garages, commercial lots, and private residences. 

Aluminum rolling gates usually work best when they have a track installed in the entrance for the gate to roll on, and while automated gates are popular, this light weight material is very easy to move by hand without much effort and require very little maintenance. The moving parts involved in a rolling gate are going to need checking up on periodically to make sure wheels and bearings are staying oiled and are not rusting or getting bent out of shape. This is especially true for chain link fences and gates that are the most vulnerable to weathering and damage.

Our turn-key service creates rolling gates to specifications and Miami regulations on such structures. We also do maintenance and repair of these gates, and can always advise and help clients with the planning and implementation of these important property upgrades.
