Tired of leaning posts, sagging gates, and busted fence rails? In this practical class, you'll learn how to tackle the most common wooden and chain-link fence problems head-on—without spending a fortune on professional repairs.
We'll start with the #1 issue: rotting and leaning fence posts. You’ll discover what causes them to fail, how to remove them safely, and the best techniques for installing new posts that last. Then, learn how to reinforce sagging mid and top rails without replacing entire sections.
Next, we’ll take on drooping gates—the kind that drag, stick, or won’t latch right. You'll learn smart, effective fixes to square them up so they swing smoothly and close securely.
To wrap it up, we’ll show you how to replace broken wood pickets, choose the right fasteners, patch chain link sections, and deal with rusted chain link fence fabric so your fence looks great and stands strong.
Perfect for homeowners and DIYers, this class delivers real-world skills that save time, money, and frustration—so you can restore your fence with confidence.
Meet the Instructor: Rick Muscoplat is a retired ASE Master Auto Technician, and former electrician's assistant and writer of a DIY fix-it column for The Family Handyman.
