Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) April 29, 2014

Total Fence Inc. (http://www.TotalFenceInc.ca), the leader in residential, industrial, and commercial fence and deck installation in the Greater Toronto Area, is giving advice on maintaining or repairing decks after a harsh winter.

Most decks today are durable enough to withstand winter weather, but it still takes maintenance to make decks last. In fact, too much moisture buildup can actually split the boards on a deck, says Tony Defeo, owner of Total Fence Inc. Its essential that maintenance to a deck is done immediately after the winter season.

Defeo explains that the first step to proper maintenance is cleaning all snow and ice from the deck. Most of the snow and ice should melt away, but a thorough cleaning will make sure that there isnt any residue or stretches of ice still clinging to the deck. In addition, using salt probably isnt the best idea, as it could potentially harm the wood.

Another important maintenance step is applying a good sealer about once a year to further protect the deck from twisting or splintering due to weather elements like heavy snow. It really helps a lot, as an effective sealer can extend the life of a deck by years, he adds. And since its only necessary to apply it once every year or so, everyone with a deck should ensure they take this preventative step.

Repairing a deck can be a bit more difficult. Once its been severely affected by weather or poor maintenance, its much harder to rejuvenate, Defeo concludes. Pulling out old nails and straightening the boards is an option, and using screws instead of nails can add sturdiness to the deck. But for decks that are in really bad shape, hiring a professional deck contractor like Total Fence Inc. is probably the best move.

Surging demand for U.S. gasoline from Latin America and Africa, coupled with refinery maintenance, is spurring speculators to bet that prices will keep rising after reaching a nine-month high.

Money managers boosted net-long positions by 3.8 percent in the week ended April 22 to the highest level in more than a year, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission said. Long positions reached a 14-month high.

Exports of U.S. gasoline were 35 percent above the five-year average in 2013 and are forecast to climb further in 2014 as refinery outages and rising consumption boosts shipments to Brazil, Colombia and Nigeria. Unplanned repairs at U.S. plants threaten to lower production already reduced by seasonal work.

Refiners are having a hard time keeping pace with the overall demand, both domestically and internationally, Tom Finlon, director of Energy Analytics Group Ltd, said from Jupiter, Florida, on April 23.

Gasoline for May delivery climbed 5.31 cents, or 1.7 percent, to $3.0952 a gallon on the New York Mercantile Exchange during the report period, the highest level since July 19. Futures dropped 1.1 percent to settle at $3.0403 today and are up 9.1 percent this year.

The U.S. Gulf Coast, home to more than half of U.S. refining capacity, shipped an average of 368,000 barrels a day of finished motor gasoline in 2013, compared with 262,200 in the previous five years, according to U.S. Energy Information Administration data.

Shipments to Colombia are set to climb as Ecopetrol SA, the state-owned oil company, carries out work at its Cartagena and Barrancabermeja refineries, according to the Paris-based International Energy Agency. The country imported about 170,000 barrels of oil products a day in January, almost all from the U.S., the IEA said in a report April 11.

Oil demand in Brazil reached a four-month high of 3.2 million barrels a day in February and is expected to expand 2.9 percent this year, according to the IEA. Deliveries to Nigeria more than doubled in 2013 from a year earlier. The countrys economy is forecast to increase by 7.1 percent this year, according to the International Monetary Fund.

Were basically supplying the world, Greg Sharenow, executive vice president at Pacific Investment Management Co., said from Newport Beach, California, on April 25. Its another source in the demand picture and helps gasoline balances stay tighter in the U.S.

Gasoline consumption in the U.S. averaged 8.69 million barrels a day in the four weeks ended April 18 and will reach 8.94 million in the second quarter, EIA data showed. Demand usually peaks between the Memorial Day weekend in late May and Labor Day in early September as motorists take summer vacations.

Aussie lands big punch after the race

Dont mess with an Aussie.

Thats the lesson NASCAR Sprint Cup driver Casey Mears learned Saturday night after the race in Richmond.

Mears confronted fellow driver Marcos Ambrose about something that happened on the track. Mears pushed the other driver, which led to Ambrose landing a hard right hook.

Mears stayed on his feet, but the crew members quickly separated the drivers.

Its unclear what exactly the two drivers were upset about. Ambrose finished the race in 18th place, followed directly by Mears in 19th.
