How to repair the fence?

Hi Brain Trust,

Please take a look :

One section of our fence is falling off. Is there any way to repair it? I have an Ozito screwdriver. Is it good enough? What screws should I use?

Thank you for any advice

Hi @ivanptr,

Thank you for your question about how to repair your fence.

This should be a fairly simple repair and your Ozito drill is more than capable of the repair.

You should start by removing the first paling you see in your video so you can screw the fence rails back to the post using 2 x ZENITH 75mm Class 3 Galvanised Bugle Batten Screws per rail. These are self-drilling screws, so there is no need to pre-drill any pilot holes.

Once the rail is fixed back into place, it's entirely up to you whether you remove the nails from the palings or not, but it will give you a more uniform look to your fence.

You can use Zenith 40mm Galvanised Type 17 Countersunk Head Timber Screws to fix the palings back into place. These are also self-drilling, so once again, no need for a pilot hole.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Jacob
