Learn how to care for your ornamental steel fence.

Residential ornamental steel fences represent the current generation of the classic “wrought iron” fence. Steel fences can last for many years, but they require some maintenance and care to ensure they last a long time while looking beautiful. Continue reading for a few tips on caring for your ornamental steel fence.

Protect From Rust

Summer maintenance is very important for steel fences, as the rain and humidity can produce rust on your fence. Once rust forms, it can take control and even affect the structure and strength of the fence. A protective coat of car wax or water repellant spray will do the trick for keeping the rain and humidity from affecting the metal. Also, vines and bushes with thorns can scratch the metal, so it’s best to keep those away from your fence if it is unprotected.

Cleaning

Steel fences can add a beautiful look to your home and yard, but they look best when sparkling clean. Clean your fence with warm, soapy water to bring it back to its original state. It’s also smart to inspect the fence often for rust spots, so you can scrub them away before they have a chance to settle into the steel. Don’t forget to clean the hard to reach places, and use small cleaning tools to scrub them clean. Rinse the fence with water after you are finished cleaning, and let it dry to reveal a new and improved fence.
