Below is a clear, practical guide to help customers keep their fencing looking its best.


Routine Cleaning
- Clean the boards periodically using warm water, a mild detergent, and a soft brush or cloth.
- Rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue.
- For general dirt, pollen, or surface dust, a simple hose‑down is usually sufficient.

Stain Removal
- Most marks can be removed with warm soapy water.
- For more stubborn stains (e.g., mud, bird droppings), use a soft‑bristle brush.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they are unnecessary and may affect the surface finish.

Mould & Mildew
Although composite materials resist rot, mould can form on any outdoor surface where moisture and organic matter accumulate.
- Treat affected areas with a mild household cleaner.
- Improve airflow around the fence to reduce moisture retention.

Avoiding Damage
- Do not use pressure washers above a gentle setting; excessive pressure may damage the surface.
- Avoid sharp tools or metal scrapers.
- Keep heat sources (e.g., fire pits, BBQs) at a safe distance to prevent heat distortion.

Seasonal Care
DuraPost VISTA® boards are engineered to withstand all weather conditions.
> “Designed to withstand the elements while offering an elegant, modern look.”

- In autumn, remove leaves or debris that may trap moisture.
- In winter, snow and frost will not harm the boards—simply brush away heavy build‑up if needed
