In the wake of the recent storm Babet, projected to impose a staggering £450 to £650 million burden on the insurance industry, Jacksons Fencing underscores the pressing need for proactive measures in the face of intensifying climate change challenges. Recognising the escalating risks associated with storm damage, Jacksons Fencing assumes a leadership role by offering expert insights and comprehensive advice to mitigate risks and fortify fences.
Key Factors Contributing to Fence Failure:
Fences, often overlooked in the context of storm preparedness, are susceptible to failure and increased repair costs when of low quality or poorly installed. Jacksons Fencing addresses this vulnerability through a detailed guide aimed at empowering property owners to safeguard their homes, gardens, and fencing from the adverse impacts of extreme weather conditions.
Regular Checks and Maintenance:
- Vigilant, regular checks are imperative to ensuring the structural integrity of fences.
- Timely maintenance significantly reduces the risk of storm-related damages.
Branch and Debris Management:
- Removal of hazardous or weak branches, especially those in proximity to fencing, windows, drainage, or power lines.
- Clearing debris from around the fencing to prevent rot, particularly for untreated timber.
Object Removal:
- Secure loose or heavy objects in the garden, preventing them from becoming projectiles during strong winds.
- Enclosing items like rattan patio furniture and flowerpots in a garage or shed during storms is advised.
Gate Considerations:
- Gate security assumes critical importance during storms.
- Thoughtful selection of gates with diagonal and horizontal braces for enhanced support.
- Opting for premium pales, thicker and heavier, to bolster gate strength.
- Framed gates for additional strength, capable of enduring heavy wear.
