My neighbor's fence went from falling over to solid in one weekend
It was a chain link fence on the corner of Elm and 5th that was leaning hard for at least two years. They didn't replace it, they just dug new post holes right next to the old rotten ones, set fresh posts in concrete, and reattached the old panels. The whole thing looks brand new now. Has anyone else fixed a fence this way instead of a full tear-out?

Yeah, my uncle did that with his old wooden fence. He said it was way cheaper than starting from scratch since the panels were still okay. It seems smart if the posts are the only real problem. Do you think it will last as long as a whole new fence?

Remember my neighbor tried that with his deck posts last summer. He saved a bunch of money but had to fix a wobbly section again this spring. It might buy you time but probably won't match a full replacement's lifespan, right?
