Fencing is great for privacy, security, and to keep pets on or off of your property. Wood is a great material to use for this purpose, but if you have wood fences that are damaged, you might be wondering if you should bother repairing them, or if you should just invest in new fence installation. Below, the professionals at Hinesville Fence in Georgia offer some insight to help you make this decision.

How Extensive Is the Damage?

The short, but not easy, answer to the question of whether you should repair or replace your wood fences is, it depends. One factor that will help you determine which option is right for you is the extensiveness of the damage. If you have a large stretch of fencing that’s in generally good shape except for one area, some simple repair might be all you need. But if the damage effects most of the fence, it might not be worth salvaging.

What Kind of Damage is It?

The type of damage will affect your decision, too. If there are a few, or even many, broken or loose fence boards, it’s not difficult to replace them. But with a problem like wood rot, it could indicate that the fence is old and has outlived its usefulness. You might do better to replace your wood fences at that point.

Do you like What You’ve Got?

The final question to ask yourself as you decide between replacing and repairing is, ‘do I like the look of the fence that I have?’ If it just doesn’t look good to you and you’re ready for a more attractive fencing option for your property, that might be a good enough reason to go ahead and replace the entire fence.
