Why Trex Needs So Little Care
Unlike cedar or wood fencing, Trex composite is engineered to resist rot, insects, fading, and scratching. This means you can spend less time on upkeep and more time enjoying your outdoor space.
Simple Annual Maintenance
Here's all your Trex fence needs:
- Spring rinse: Use a garden hose to remove any winter debris and salt residue.
- Spot cleaning: For stubborn marks, use mild soap and water with a soft brush.
- Inspect hardware: Check gate hinges and latches once a year for corrosion.
What NOT to Do
Avoid pressure washing or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the protective coating over time.
That's it. Your Trex fence will look as good in 25 years as it does today.
