Fences, just like any other piece of equipment or structure, will eventually need some TLC. Whether it’s due to wear and tear, weather conditions, or even animal interference, there’s no need to replace your entire fence just because of minor damage. Repairing a woven wire fence can be surprisingly straightforward with the right approach.
With the right tools, fixing broken wire is not as difficult as you imagine
Essential Tools for the Job
Before diving into the repair process, make sure you’ve gathered all the necessary tools. A pair of stretcher bars—also known as a fence stretcher—is essential. These will help stabilize the fence while you focus on making repairs.
In addition to the stretcher bars, you’ll need a good set of wire cutters and a crimp tool. These will come in handy for cutting wires, removing staples, and joining sections of fence. Don’t forget splicing sleeves—or crimp sleeves—which are used to securely connect two sections of wire after repairing.
Step-by-Step Guide to Repairing Your Fence
Repairing a fence line generally follows these steps:
Start by clearing the area around the damaged section. This gives you enough room to work efficiently and minimizes the risk of accidents.
Once your workspace is clear, identify the exact location of the damage. Use the stretcher bars to keep the fence taut and provide stability during the repair process.
Next, insert a splicing sleeve over the damaged area and secure it tightly using the crimp tool. Ensure the connection is strong and reliable.
Finally, trim any excess wire to avoid creating hazards or further damage.
