How to repair a fence?

Repairing a fence can involve patching up holes or cracks, replacing damaged boards or pickets, or reinforcing posts

It’s important to address any issues as soon as possible to prevent further damage and ensure the longevity of your fence. Here are the steps you can take to DIY repair your own fence:

You will first need to take apart the two sections of the fence that are supported by the post. If these planks are in good shape you should keep them, so be careful during the removal process;
You will then need to excavate the post along with the concrete that is holding it in place, take your time as this is a labour intensive process. To make it easier to remove the post, either break down the concrete holding it in place or dig around and take out the post as one piece;
You will now have to ensure that your post hole is dug to the right depth and clear any debris;
Finally you can set your new post, pour the concrete and after 24 hours, re-attach the existing sections.

How do you reinforce a sagging fence?

To reinforce a sagging fence, you can add additional support posts, add bracing to the existing posts, or add a horizontal support beam across the top of the fence

It’s important to ensure that the additional support is properly anchored and level to prevent further sagging. It’s also a good idea to check the soil around the fence to ensure that it is not too soft or wet, which can cause the fence to sag.

If the problem arises from to poor soil conditions, it may be necessary to add a gravel base or compact the soil before adding reinforcement. It is important to consult with a professional or check the local building codes in your area before determining the best method of reinforcement for your fence.
