How Do You Fix The Bottom Of A Yard Fence?
Yard fences take a lot of abuse. Moisture, pets and lawn equipment all contribute to their deterioration. The bottom of the fence is typically one of the spots where abuse takes its toll first. Rot, digging dogs and weed trimmers are the biggest culprits. The repair technique depends on the style of the fence construction. Spaced pickets must be dealt with individually, while stockade and other privacy fences, with little or no space between boards, can be repaired with a quick rot board installation. Measure the damaged area at the bottom of your fence pickets. Average out the worst spots to a measurement that will include most of the damage. You’ll use this measurement to remove the damage from your pickets. Run a line of mason’s twine across the face of your fence to establish a new topline for your fence pickets. Place the line the average distance from Step 1 below the tops of the existing pickets. Drive a screw at that height in the face of the end picket at each end of the fence
