Description

The back fences are green from age and algae and it looks dreary and poorly kept. It also contrasts sharply with the new fence adjoining the neighbours.

Fix Instructions / Solution

Use an algae remover or specialised fence cleaner to remove the green build up, scrubbing with a soft brush in the direction of the wood grain. Allow to dry thoroughly, then apply a breathable outdoor wood sealant or paint.

Painting over the algae and debris will mean the paint starts peeling within months, even faster in extreme weather, as the paint won't be able to bond to the wood.
