Frequently Asked Questions
What causes fence rust and corrosion in New Bedford?
The biggest culprit is the salty air from Buzzards Bay and the harbor. Combined with high humidity and frequent coastal fog, even galvanized metal can start to rust within a few years if not properly coated or maintained. All Type Fence addresses this by using powder-coated aluminum or galvanized steel with a protective finish, and they recommend annual rinsing with fresh water to remove salt buildup.
How can I tell if my fence has storm damage after a nor’easter?
Look for loose or missing pickets, leaning posts, cracked rails, or gates that no longer latch. In New Bedford, high winds and heavy rain often push fence panels outward or snap wooden boards. If you notice any of these signs, call All Type Fence for a free inspection—they can often reset posts and replace damaged sections without needing a full replacement.
What’s the best fence material for New Bedford’s coastal weather?
For long-term durability, we recommend aluminum or vinyl fencing. Aluminum won’t rust, and vinyl resists moisture and salt. Wood fences can work if treated with a marine-grade stain and maintained every two years, but they’re more prone to rot. All Type Fence helps you choose the right material based on your property’s exposure and your budget, ensuring your fence lasts for decades.
