6. Maintenance
One of the key advantages of the WPC fence panel is its low-maintenance nature. The wood-plastic composite material does not require oiling, painting, or extensive sealing, unlike traditional wood fences.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the fence panels with mild soap and water using a soft brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the fence for any loose fasteners or signs of damage. Tighten any loose screws and address any damage promptly to maintain structural integrity.
- Stains: For stubborn stains, a pressure washer on a low setting can be used, but maintain a safe distance to avoid damaging the WPC material.
7. Troubleshooting
- Panel Instability: If the fence panel feels unstable, re-check the security of the post base plate and ensure all anchors and screws are fully tightened. Verify that the ground surface is firm and level.
- Discoloration/Fading: While WPC is UV-resistant, some natural weathering or slight color change may occur over time due to prolonged exposure to sunlight. This is generally cosmetic and does not affect the structural integrity.
- Damaged Components: In case of damage to individual WPC boards or aluminum profiles, contact vidaXL customer support for replacement parts. Do not attempt to repair severely damaged components, as this may compromise the fence's stability.
