About seven months after we moved into our house, there was a fairly big winter storm which tore out part of our fence. This panel was pretty rotten and crappy, and it turned out that the post was also rotten and crappy. The pic shows my dad inspecting the damage.
So we bought a new 6-foot-by-6-foot panel, a new post, and a Metpost fitting from a local hardware shop. We removed all the damaged stuff, then installed the new post. You can probably tell that the space doesn't require a full panel. We measured the space and cut the new panel to size, then removed two vertical battens from the rest of the panel and nailed them to the cut edge of the new piece. This mini-panel was then fitted to the post and nailed to the wall on the other side. The next pics show the repaired fence before I painted it.
