Yes, wooden fences require more frequent maintenance than other materials due to its susceptibility to rot and decay over time from exposure to moisture and humidity in the air. To prevent this, it is important to regularly treat them with waterproof sealant or paint every few years especially in areas with high moisture levels like near bodies of water or swamps. Additionally, it is also important to inspect them frequently for signs of damage such as cracks or splinters which could lead to further deterioration if left unaddressed.
