Tips for Caring for BRC Fences to Keep Them Rust-Resistant and Last for Years

BRC fences are a popular choice in various construction projects—from residential homes and industrial areas to public areas—due to their sleek, sturdy, and long-lasting appearance. However, despite their reputation for durability, BRC fences still require regular maintenance to prevent rust and maintain their new-look.

Here are some tips for maintaining BRC fences so they last for years without deteriorating.

1. Choose a BRC Fence with a Quality Galvanized Coating
The first step in maintaining a durable fence is to choose a BRC product that has been galvanized. The zinc coating on the fence protects the steel from oxidation and rust caused by exposure to water and moisture.
Galvanized BRC fences from PT Intisumber Bajasakti (ISBS), for example, meet SNI standards, making them more resistant to corrosion, even in open areas.

2. Clean Regularly
Dirt, dust, and moss can accelerate the rust process if left on for too long. Clean the fence regularly—simply with clean water and mild soap—to remove dust and prevent dirt from building up between the wires.

3. Avoid Water Pooling Around the Fence
Water pooling under the fence can accelerate corrosion, especially if the galvanized layer is starting to wear away. Ensure the area around the fence has good drainage so rainwater can drain quickly and not linger on the metal.

4. Regularly Check Surface Condition
Check at least every 3–6 months to ensure no parts of the fence are starting to rust or are damaged. If you find even minor rust, clean it immediately and re-coat it with anti-rust paint or zinc paint to prevent it from spreading to other areas.

5. Avoid Exposure to Chemicals
Do not allow chemicals such as harsh cleaning fluids or plant fertilizers to come into contact with BRC fences, as their acidic content can damage the galvanized layer and accelerate rusting.

6. Use Additional Protective Paint
Although galvanized BRC fences are already rust-resistant, you can still add protective paint to extend their lifespan and enhance their appearance. Choose oil-based paint or epoxy coating for maximum resistance to extreme weather.

Conclusion
With simple but regular maintenance, BRC fences can last for more than 10 years without rust or significant damage. The key is choosing quality products and performing regular maintenance to maintain their neat appearance and sturdy structure.
