How Alexandria’s Seasonal Weather Impacts Your Fences, Decks, and Outdoor Structures

Alexandria experiences all four seasons of the year.  The neighborhood experiences from steamy summers to rain-soaked springs.  The winters have freezing nights. 

The communities in Huntington, Belle View, Hybla Valley, and Groveton can be tough on outdoor wood.  Especially on fences and decks. Outdoor wood can be protected from the elements using surface treatments if you apply them regularly.

If you live in the area of Alexandria, VA, the hot and humid weather can be really tough on the wood.  The wood tends to get dried out,  warped, and even cracked.  This is caused by the sun's exposure.  Even if we stain the wood to protect it from the changes in the weather.  The heat and UV rays can still crack the wood even if we stain it.  We can try to do everything right, but weather conditions can be harsh

Rot, Mold, and Structural Weakness

Between rainy weather, freezing winters, and hot summers, the community in Alexandria experiences extreme changes in the weather.  Fences begin to experience leaning boards.  The decks get a loose board or even cracks.  Sometimes removing the pollen and mildew can help, but the wood does get weakened over time.
