Hello, Charles from American Life 365, I will share with you how to repair the fence in a simple way, make the fence stronger, maybe it can be used for another 10 years.
Let's look at my fence. More than 20 years have passed, and most of the parts are still intact. Only the backer rails become rotten and worn. If I ignore the looseness and decay of the backrest railing, the fence may soon collapse. Why is the bottom of the fence easy to rot? The wind blew across the fence and lifted up the dust on the ground. There was dust and rain on the fence, which fell into the lower Becker railing. You can see a lot of mud. Sometimes I see weeds or flowers growing on other people's fences. This kind of soil and dust can hold moisture and rot easily. So we can almost say that the life of the fence depends on the decay and fragility of the bottom of the fence.
In order to fix the fence and strengthen the bottom, I need to clean the fence first to remove dirt or dust, which may retain moisture.
I cut the wooden strip into two pieces. Nailing wood strips at an angle......
