Would you like a nice, new, sturdy and modern fence for your yard? Is your current wooden fence is failing but you don't want to pay someone to haul it away? How would you like to solve both problems at the same time and save money and the environment?

If you have answered yes to these questions then the Half Recycled Fence Strategy might be for you! We were in your same shoes but we came up with this method because we wanted something clean and modern, but recycled and frugal.

We did this by salvaging most of our old fence by trimming off the rotten ends of the wood and rebuilding it into a new fence. Since we only had to purchase half the wood for our new fence it was quite a bit cheaper than if we had purchased new AND it saved us a lot in what would have been dump fees if we had simply thrown the old fence away.

The internet is littered with great guides and tutorials for fence building so I'm going to try to keep this one focused on fence recycling and how that is different than building new.
