Frequently Asked Questions

What causes moss to grow on my fence in Seattle?

Seattle's frequent rain and shade create ideal conditions for moss. Moisture traps on wood surfaces, especially if the fence lacks proper sealant. Barrier Fence Co recommends pressure-treated wood or cedar with a waterproof finish to inhibit moss.

How can I tell if my fence boards are starting to warp?

Look for boards that bow, cup, or twist away from the frame. Warping often starts at the ends or near ground contact. If you see gaps or unevenness, it's a sign of moisture damage. Barrier Fence Co can assess and replace affected boards.

What is the best solution for a fence that already has moss and warped boards?

First, remove moss with a gentle cleaner and soft brush to avoid wood damage. For warped boards, replacement is often needed. Barrier Fence Co uses rot-resistant materials and proper spacing to improve airflow and reduce moisture retention, preventing recurrence.
