Kenya recently experienced unprecedented heavy rains, which have significantly impacted our infrastructure. Among the affected investments are our vital security fences, including electric game fences, chain link fences, and barbed wire fences. These structures, essential for protecting property and wildlife, require regular maintenance to remain effective. At Fenken Fence and Supply, we understand the importance of maintaining these crucial barriers, and we offer comprehensive fence audits and repair services to ensure their longevity and functionality.
The Impact of Heavy Rains on Fencing
Heavy rains can wreak havoc on all types of fences. The persistent downpour can cause soil erosion, leading to unstable fence posts and sagging wires. Electric game fences, which rely on continuous power and secure grounding, can suffer from short circuits and grounding issues due to waterlogging. Chain link and barbed wire fences may rust, weaken, or even collapse under the weight of saturated soil and debris.
The Need for Regular Fence Audits
Given the potential damage caused by heavy rains and the natural wear and tear over time, it is advisable to conduct an infrastructure audit every 5 to 10 years. A thorough fence audit helps to:
- Identify Damage: Detects any immediate damage caused by recent weather events, such as floods or storms.
- Assess Wear and Tear: Evaluates the condition of the fence materials, identifying areas weakened by rust, corrosion, or age.
- Ensure Functionality: Checks that electric fences are properly grounded and functioning, ensuring they continue to provide effective security.
- Prevent Future Damage: Recommends preventive measures to protect the fence from future weather-related damage.
