Fence assessment: repair or replace?
9 questions about the fence you have. The result says whether a repair, a section rebuild or a replacement fits, how soon it matters and what to do first. Look, do not push: every question can be answered from where you stand.
Answer the questions
Your result
Answer the 9 questions and your result appears here. Nothing is sent anywhere, and the questions only ask about what you already know.
How the result is decided
The rules run in a fixed order, and the first one that matches decides the result. The same answers always give the same result.
| If you said | The result |
|---|---|
| A pool enclosure gate or section no longer closes | Treat the pool as open and fix that part first. This outranks every other answer. |
| A section is down, or leans over a sidewalk, street or neighbor's yard | Keep people clear and have it braced or taken down, then decide. |
| You want a new material, height or look | Plan a replacement around the new design, with city rules, the permit and HOA approval checked first. |
| Most of the run or many posts are failing, or old rot | Replacement is likely the better spend. |
| One stretch, or one or two posts | A section repair may be enough, with the posts on either side checked. |
| It stands and closes but looks tired | Maintenance, not repair. |
| One post, panel, board or the gate | A targeted repair that fixes the cause. |
What this check cannot tell you
It cannot see inside a post or below the ground, so it cannot say how much rot or termite damage a post hides or how deep the footings go. Someone has to look at the posts in person for that. The leaning post guide and the repair or replace guide explain what an inspection looks for.
It does not certify a pool barrier, and it does not predict what an HOA or inspector will decide. Next: estimate the cost of a new fence.
