Leaning Fence Fix
A single broken board is a quick fix. Multiple rotted posts or storm-damaged sections may approach the cost of a new fence.
Wood repairs are cheapest since lumber is readily available. Vinyl and metal repairs may require ordering matching components.
Repairing 1-2 sections is cost-effective. Once damage exceeds 30-40% of the fence, full replacement is usually the better investment.
Shallow or poorly set posts are a common cause of leaning. Resetting posts with proper depth (1/3 of total length) and concrete prevents recurrence.

If damage covers less than 25% of the fence and the rest is structurally sound, repair is the better value. Widespread rot, leaning, or storm damage usually warrants replacement.
Replacing individual boards or pickets is straightforward DIY. Post replacement and leaning fence correction involve digging and concrete work that most homeowners prefer to hire out.
