Does timber fencing require ongoing care?
Timber fencing does require some periodic upkeep. To extend its lifespan, the wood should be treated with a suitable weatherproof coating every few years. This is especially important in Donegal where exposure to rain and wind can affect untreated timber. For a lower maintenance alternative, concrete and composite fences require little to no regular treatment once installed.
