How do I maintain my fence?

All fences must be maintained in good, sound condition. They must be free of damage, breaks or missing structural members.

Areas that are leaning, buckling, sagging or deteriorating must be repaired or replaced with compatible material. The area at the base of the fence must be kept free of debris and neatly trimmed.

Where fencing has been previously painted and there are areas of chipping, peeling, scaling or missing paint equal to or greater than 20 percent of the fence surface, then the surface must be repainted or stripped of all paint.
