### Fence Panel Kicked In or Blown Down?
Devon weather and the occasional football does a number on **fence panels**. Broken slats, whole panels blown down, rotten sections that need replacing. Most repairs are straightforward - swap the damaged panel, check the posts are solid, job done. Boundary secure again.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** When one panel goes, it's worth checking the rest of the fence while I'm there. If one panel's rotten or blown, others are probably on their way out too. Better to know now than have another failure next month.

Good to Know
> 🔧 **Panel direction matters:** Most fence panels have a 'good side' and a 'rough side'. Traditionally the good side faces outward (toward your neighbor), but it's your fence. Just make sure you fit it the same way round as the others or it'll look weird. **Combine with:** - Fence post replacement (if posts are dodgy) - Fence post concrete spur (reinforce posts while I'm there) - Garden gate repair (sort the gate at the same time) **Related services:** - Fence post replacement (when posts are the problem) - Fence post concrete spur (save posts without replacement) - Close board fencing (upgrade from panels to something stronger)
Frequently Asked Questions about Fence panel repair in Dawlish
Can you match my existing fence panels?
Usually, yeah. Standard sizes are easy - 6ft by 6ft panels are everywhere. If you've got something unusual or older, I'll do my best to find a match. Sometimes the new panel looks different at first but it'll weather down to match the rest within a year or so.
Is it worth repairing a fence panel or just replacing it?
Depends what's wrong. If it's just a few broken slats, repair makes sense. If the whole panel's rotten or falling apart, replacement's the better option. I'll tell you honestly - if a repair's going to cost nearly as much as a new panel and only last a couple of years, replacement's the sensible choice.
What if the fence posts are the problem?
Common issue. Panel might be fine but if the posts are rotten or leaning, the panel won't sit right. I'll check the posts when I look at the panels and let you know if they need work. No point fitting a new panel to dodgy posts.
How quickly can you replace a broken panel?
If I've got a matching panel in stock or can grab one from the local merchant, same day or next day usually. If it's an unusual size or style that needs ordering, might be a few days. I'll let you know when I can get it sorted.
