The fence that runs along the bottom of our garden needs replacing. The winter wet and cold has rotted many parts of it.We always regard this part of our boundary as important because it includes the gate which gives us access to the wider countryside and so are eager to keep it in good repair.
It took a day to take the old fence down and replace a few rotten posts.
Then a visit to the local woodland timber yard resulted in a delivery truck dumping a pile of fence panels and a new gate. The garden smelled of freshly cut wood.
A second day saw us fixing up new fence panels and a new gate complete with replacement hinges and catch. We thought it looked mighty good when we finished!

You did a great job! I love picket fences (I have one too.)
Picket fences seem to give a natural link between garden and farmland. Malc
Looking good!
Here’s a link to a blog that would appreciate some photos of your fence, old and new!

It does Malc! Good job! Margie
It looks great – and the smell of new wood is always lovely!
Thanks for the comments. I think I buy a lot of wood just to smell all that fresh sawn wood!

What a beautiful fence! We have the smell of lovely new wood here too as Mr S is replacing some floorboards. A most evocative smell that wafts through this post! 🙂
Can you get addicted to the smell of wood I wonder?
