There always comes a time when you should consider completely replacing your old fence.
If you have an old fence sitting outside of your residential property, you might be
considering repairing your fence over the long holiday weekend. However, is your
old fence worth repairing? Depending on the issues it has, it might be a better idea
to replace your old fence altogether. Here are the easiest ways to determine
whether or not your old fence is worth repairing!
Repair Your Fence!
Many fence issues have quick fixes that can be easily done over the course of a day
or weekend. Some of the most common problems with fences that can be repaired
include:
Discoloration on your wood fence
Warping on your fence in small portions that can be replaced
Some splintered wood boards that can be replaced
Cracking in a vinyl fence in small areas that can be replaced with a new board
or vinyl panel
Loose fence posts that can be repaired with additional soil and concrete

If you have major fence issues, it’s time for a replacement. Some of the most
common major issues include:
Cases where you need to replace or repair over 20% of the total fence area or
surface

A fence that is too low to provide adequate privacy and protection
A wood fence with portions that are rotting away

Major denting or cracking along the length of your fence
A fence that isn’t flush with the ground surrounding it so that things can
easily crawl under

months to years
