When deciding to replace or repair your existing fence, consider the 20% rule that fence builders reference. This rule states that if more than 20% of your fence needs repair, you should skip the repair and replace it. Additionally, if your fence is nearing the end of its life, it's often best to replace it.

Repairing the fence is a good option when you have minimal damage or damage from a specific event versus wear and tear. Your fence repair professional can assess the damage and compare the repair price with the cost of a new fence.

The best type truly depends on the purpose of your fencing. Whether you need it for added security, safety for children and animals, or keeping pests out of your garden area will determine which temporary fencing works best for you. Once you understand its purpose, you can select the most durable, cost-effective material for your yard’s size and project.

You have several options for anchoring a temporary fence, ranging in cost and ease of installation. Sandbags are one solution, but may not hold up if you have inclement weather with strong winds. Spike and bolts are another alternative. While they’re inexpensive and easy to install, it can be difficult if your ground is too soft for in-ground drilling. Wind braces are another option—be sure to bolt these into the ground as well. While they can withstand turbulent wind, they can also be difficult to install if the ground is too soft.
