So I went there today planning to take it down and now am having seconds thoughts (maybe these thoughts are better in separate thread, not sure). Not all wooden poles have rotted out. In a couple of places the fence got almost flattened by fallen large trees (that have been removed). Does it mean that the fence itself is damaged beyond repair and need to be removed? If I put in new polesto replace the ones that fell and then try to stretch the chainlink, what are my chances of straightening it out? Having a functional, albeit not perfect aesthetically, fence might be a nice feature for the property that we plan to sell soon and a seller is likely to be a first-time home owner with small kids and/or dogs. We would need to cut a lot of overgrown grass and and weeds around the fence before attempting this, but that should not be too hard.
