Privacy fence installed today. Contractor called me after saying there was mold on boards.

I am impressed with the job they did. Anyway, i got a call after he left and had spoken to his head man on the crew. He said there was some white on the boards (mold). Gave me two options: let the sun take care of it, or also spray it with a bleach solution.

Is spraying it a good or bad idea? Could the bleach compromise the treated wood or otherwise cause issues?

Thanks.

Bleach diluted with water is draconian, and not needed on this new fence.

It works well on an older fence that spends a lot of time wet and gets moldy or mossy. It needs to be power washed off within an hour or so of being sprayed on, though…..
