Fences go through a lot—weather, aging, and everyday wear and tear. When your fence starts to show damage, the choice between repairing or replacing it depends on the type of fence and how bad the damage is.

When to Repair: Broken posts can often be replaced without affecting the intact panels, making it a cost-effective solution. Whether the posts are wood or concrete, they can be swapped out while leaving the panels untouched. For panels with minor cracks or cosmetic issues, simple repairs can prolong their lifespan without the need for a full replacement.

When to Replace: If the panels show noticeable signs of aging like warping, splitting, or rotting, it’s best to replace the entire section. Old panels, even with new posts, can compromise the structure, making replacement a wiser investment over time.

Panel fencing is a popular option. A fence panel is a pre-assembled section of fencing, typically made from materials like wood, metal, or composite. These panels are designed to fit between fence posts, forming a seamless barrier that serves various purposes, such as privacy, security, and decoration.

Feather edge fence panels are also a popular choice among homeowners due to their strength and stylish design. This type of fencing is made from individual wooden slats that overlap slightly, creating the appearance of a feathered edge. The boards are tapered, thinner on one side and thicker on the other, to achieve this look. Typically constructed from timber slats, feather edge fencing is both strong and durable. With overlapping vertical boards, these fences offer excellent privacy and security. However, they do require regular maintenance to stay in good condition. With proper care, they can last for years and keep your garden looking fantastic.

Gravel board is a wooden or concrete panel placed at the bottom of fence panels, resting on the ground. It protects the fence from moisture, insects, and debris. By minimizing moisture build up and reducing the risk of rotting, gravel boards extend the lifespan of your fence.
