It is perhaps not possible to overestimate the advantages of metal fencing systems over all other varieties. They are durable, strong, resistant to all kinds of aggressive natural influences and, in addition, are quite economical. However, even for such seemingly unpretentious designs, experts recommend taking care of. Grooming involves the regular implementation of a number of simple manipulations, which nevertheless contribute to the longest possible preservation of the fence in proper form and prevent a decrease in its consumer characteristics.
The first and, perhaps, most important procedure is the removal of rust marks that can form as a result of prolonged contact of the fence surface with water. To do this, you must use a stiff wire brush and a stiff broom, which, at the end of the main procedure, sweeps out the remnants of rust from the canvas. Of course, this work should be done with gloves and a gauze bandage, as the dust that rises during the cleaning of the material from rust can damage the respiratory system.
Metal fencing of the territory , which has lost its attractive appearance as a result of destructive mechanical impact - weight, impact or abrasion - it is recommended to re-prime. The choice of a primer mixture for this procedure should be made based on the design features of the fence and the manufacturer's recommendations. However, if there is no way to follow them, you can use universal formulations that are suitable for most materials and protective coatings. The primer should be applied evenly, avoiding sagging and unevenness. After completing the work, the mixture must be allowed to dry for the time specified in the instructions.
Finally, the third, no less important procedure, the competent implementation of which will help not only get rid of cosmetic defects of the product, but also significantly extend its service life - painting. The paint, just like the primer, must be selected based on the individual design features. For its application, experts recommend using special paint panels - pneumatic guns, which allow the composition to be applied to the surface of a prefabricated metal panel evenly, without drips and other defects. However, in the event that it is not possible to acquire a paint gun, you can do with ordinary brushes. However, their use will make the work of additional painting of the fence longer and more time consuming.
Also, we must not forget that such components of fencing systems need additional care as metal gates and wickets ... They should be looked after in the same way - from time to time remove rust, apply additional layers of primer and paint in case of significant cosmetic defects.
