Fallen fence repair?

[ben100]

I’ve got this fence that has fallen due to the recent winds, simply put how do I go about repairing it?

Concrete repair spurs.

After setting them, you lift up the fence and bolt the old posts to them. Cut the rotten end off and position them so the timber post is not in contact with the ground (which is the cause of the rot leading to the break).

Resolve never again to put wood in the ground.

Metal supports are nowhere near as good.

If you can afford it you need concrete posts with slots for the panels and put a gravel board in first so no wood touches the ground

Agree

But once the spurs are in, he can fix new timber if and when he feels like it.

Yes, the concrete gravel boards can be slightly sunk and stop weeds or animals getting through.

If you like, you can paint the concrete with dark masonry paint to blend it in. It also improves life of the concrete, especially on the tops, by reducing rain penetration.

I had to leave badger and fox access holes or else they just destroy the new panels.

Sadly no hedgehogs here due to the badgers
