How to easily protect your vinyl deck this winter？

Every winter, the temperature may drop particularly low. There are certainly concerns about whether vinyl fence panels will crack and corrode due to low temperatures. In fact, you don't have to worry too much about this problem, because the vinyl fence can be manufactured at temperatures below 40 and will not break under the pressure of snow. It may just be unbearable because of the shoveling of your snow or the amount of ice that forms underneath it. So every winter, you just need to keep it look. In this way, in the spring of next year, it can still be as new as it was when it was built. So how do we need to protect the semi-private vinyl fence? Next, let's introduce it.

Steps to protect:

Step 1: After the leaves fall, rinse the fence

Step 2: Use plastic shovel to remove snow

Step 3: Regularly remove snow from the fence

Step 4: Remove the icicles from the fence

Step 1: After the leaves fall, rinse the deck clean

On the occasion of the fall, the leaves were washed and the vinyl fence was rinsed. Spring rinse, you must know that it is to clean the dirt on the surface, then why are you doing this in winter? Of course it is to protect your deck from contamination.

When the temperature drops, branches and other organic matter may fall on the vinyl fence, which will contaminate the fence. When you clean your fence with a hose or pressure washer, it won't freeze on the fence during the winter snowy days. If you don't remove these branches of leaves and organic matter, they may leave stains in the spring due to wear and tear.

If the temperature in your area is already below zero, then use a 24-inch broom to scrub the surface of the fence and remove all organic matter. This will protect the color of your vinyl fence.

Step 2: Use plastic shovel to remove snow

The snow is falling. I believe that everyone may have prepared a metal shovel for shoveling snow, in order to open up a road. But you must not use a metal shovel, and a small metal shovel will damage your vinyl fence. If you leave a cut mark on the fence, isn't it very painful? After all, the fence is not so cheap. But if you change a plastic shovel, this will not have a lot of money. It will not damage your fence. This is not very beautiful.

Step 3: Regularly remove snow from the fence

Vinyl is a very strong decorative material. It is built to bend under excessive pressure and withstand the heavy snow that falls before the arrival of spring. However, if you want your vinyl fence to look new next summer, it is vital to clear the snow on the fence.

Step 4: Remove the icicles from the fence

Icicles can be formed on the sides and underside of your fence, just as they are formed from the roofs of your home. Then you must take it off, otherwise it will not only hurt the bottom of the vinyl fence, but also the children may be hurt when playing.

Although, these steps may make you feel cumbersome. But as long as you do, you can keep your semi-private vinyl fences very good, and it will be as new as it was when it was installed in the spring of next year. And it takes longer to save more ethylene and fence costs. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
