In the 3/2016 Renovations and Monuments, issue an article  “Problems of the renovation of a historic fence” was published.

Moisture and salinity are one of the biggest problems that must be faced during renovation works on historic buildings. Free-standing objects, e.g. fences, are particularly vulnerable to the destructive influence of these factors. This is due to the location of the object, as well as the harmful effect of moisture to which the object is exposed. Flooding with rainwater, splash moisture, salt used during winter road works or finally capillary action are just some of the reasons. The condition of free-standing objects is also influenced by the fact that very often they do not have horizontal insulation, and the securing of the top of the wall is also in a poor technical condition. Structural cracks are also common.
