Anyway to repair holes in wood fence

[Jovanii Sanchez]

Any idea if there is anyway to repair holes on wood fence or do I need to replace the panels.

Yes, you can repair the holes. The repair will likely be visible, though. You can cut out the bad section of board and replace it with another. (There's lots of ways to make and do your patch--reply if you need further guidance there.) I'd suggest a polyurethane glue or Titebond II or Titebond III for a glue, probably the polyurethane glue would work best. Be sure to read the package directions.

However, if you're talking about a pressure treated dog-eared fence just replace the panel. They're something like $1-3 each and are usually held on by galvanized nails or screws. It'll take you way less time and look way better than repairing the hole. Just replace the fasteners holding the board while you're at it, they're cheap and the old ones just aren't worth messing with.

You CAN repair (I would avoid polyurethane glue like the plague and only use Titebond III). However, when you do, you weaken the existing slat and only delay the replacement. As Nor said, it will take a lot less time to just replace the boards.

BTW, I would use short deck screws to put the new boards up. they are both easier to put up with the fence in place, and take out the next time you need to replace a board.
