Boring fence....older fence will be replaced next year- any advice??
Help. I have a boring fence that needs a lift. It’s an older fence and is not being replaced until next year but needs a facelift. I don’t want to put to much weight on it but it needs something ! Any advise.

Do you want to fix it from the street side or from your yard? Have you thought of cut outs? Cut out shapes about 1' from the top? Circles, hearts diamonds. Try placing a paper template first before cutting (since you will be replacing the fence next year).
I wouldn't do a darn thing if you are going to replace it next year. In upstate NY you only have about three months until winter rears it's ugly head so it would be a waste of time/money. I would use my time/money planning for the new fence and the embellishments/plantings/fencing style, etc. All of the summer merchandise will be on clearance sales, so now is the time to plan, then shop for next season. Best wishes.
