Fence Care and Maintenance
It is important to clean and maintain the coating on your fence, just as you
would for your car. Exposure to ultra violet light, polution, dirt and salt
deposits can effect the long term performance of the coating if not removed
with regular washing. This is especially true where the surface is in a
protected area that doesn't benefit from the natural cleansing properties
of rain.
Cleaning Method
A gentle clean with a soft brush, warm water and mild detergent followed by
a fresh water rinse will maintain the powder coated finish.
In rural or nomal urban environments cleaning should occur every six months.
In areas of high pollution, such as industrial areas, geothermal areas or coastal
environments, cleaning should occur every two months.
In particularly hazardous locations, such as beachfronts, severe marine
environments or areas of high industrial pollution, cleaning should take
place monthly.
Cleaning Products
To protect the surface of your powder coated Universal Fence do not use
strong solvents, strong or abrasive cleaning agents, acidic or alkaline cleaning
products or fluids that may be recommended for thining various types of paints.
We recommend that prior to the use of any cleaning agent, a small non-visible
area of your fence be tested to ensure that no visible colour change or damage
will occur, particularly with bright and deep colours. The use of any cleaning
agent should be carried out in the shade and during cooler temperatures
using a soft cloth and gentle wiping only.
