Betafence’s EasyView Panel Fence Range are designed for easy DIY fence repair and installation, making it ideal for homeowners seeking a sleek, modern, and durable perimeter solution.

If part of the fence gets damaged, some DIY fence repair may be necessary. Thankfully, due to the modular design, you don’t have to redo the whole fence – only the parts that have been damaged. 

For this, a simple fence panel replacement can be carried out. Here are some panel replacement tips worth checking out:

Inspect the Damaged Fence

Before you go about removing damaged panels and replacing them, you need to identify which panels are damaged and need to be replaced. Ensure that you order the right-size panels as replacements. 

Make sure that you don't just check the panels but also inspect the metal fixators or nylon fixators that attach the panels to the fence posts to ensure that these haven't been damaged as well.

Choose the Right Replacement Panels

For an easy and seamless replacement, consider using Betafence's EasyView Panel Fence Range. These panels are designed for quick and hassle-free DIY installation while maintaining a contemporary and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Remove the Damaged Panels

Once you've identified which panels need to be replaced, you can remove them using a wrench or spanner to carefully loosen the security bolts on the metal fixators. Detach these fixators from the posts and remove the damaged panels, being careful not to damage the fence further in the process. 

Bolts, nuts and other parts that are still in good shape should be kept as spares.

Prepare the Replacement Panel

Once the damaged panels and fixators have been removed, you can position the new panels in place. Make sure that the panels are properly aligned with the adjacent panels.

Attach the Fixators

Fit the fixators around the post and ensure that they encompass the EasyView Panel securely. Carefully insert the security bolt into each fixator and tighten the nut using a wrench or spanner. Make sure that the nut is tightened until the panel is firmly anchored.

Check for Stability and Alignment

With the panel installed and the fixators in place, check all the connections to ensure that the panel is secure and aligned. Also, be sure to check that the fixators are level with one another and adjust them if needed.

Do a Final Inspection

Once the fence has been fully repaired, confirm that all the bolts and nuts are tight and in place and that the fence is stable. If you notice that any of the PVC paint has been chipped away during the installation process, apply a little bit of touch-up paint to ensure that the fence doesn't corrode.
