Regularly clean your fence with a mild soap and water solution to prevent this. Be sure to rinse thoroughly with a hose afterward.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Check for damage:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Check your fence periodically for any signs of damage, such as bent or broken posts, sagging wire, or loose hardware. If you notice any damage, repair it as soon as possible to prevent further damage and to keep your fence secure.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Add support:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If your fence is sagging or unsafe, it may need additional support. Add tension wire, bracing, or support posts to keep the fence taut and secure.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Trim nearby vegetation:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you have trees, bushes, or vines growing near your fence, be sure to trim them regularly.

If you plan to install the fence yourself, you will save on labor costs. However, if you hire a fence contractor in Newtown, CT, to do the job for you, labor costs will be a significant part of the overall cost.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Permits<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Depending on where you live, you may need permits before installing a fence.
