Questions and Answers

What causes moss to grow on my fence in Spokane?

Spokane’s frequent rain and shade from trees create damp conditions that encourage moss growth on wood and vinyl fences. Poor drainage and lack of sunlight or sealant also contribute. The North Gate Fence recommends annual cleaning and applying a weather-resistant finish to prevent moss.

How can I tell if my fence hardware is rusting?

Look for orange-brown stains around screws, hinges, and gate latches, or difficulty opening/closing gates. Rust weakens hardware over time. If you notice flaking or pitted metal, it’s time for replacement. The North Gate Fence uses stainless steel or galvanized parts for long-lasting protection.

What's the best solution for removing moss and preventing rust?

For moss, a gentle power wash and eco-friendly cleaner followed by a sealant works well. For rust, sanding down affected areas and applying a rust-inhibiting primer and paint is effective. The North Gate Fence offers professional treatments tailored to Spokane’s climate, including anti-moss coatings and rust-proof hardware upgrades.
