      Hey Michael, think I am on the right track. I have my extra fencing to practice on. I'm thinking that I will need to loosen it to replace the wires in the damaged areas. I'm going to give it try. Thanks for your help.

    I Have had that issue, You may have to put a bottom rail in to tie it down

      I have added dirt to raise the ground level so it's 3-4" up on the fence. Where the fence has damage I covered them with pieces of small mesh fence but want to try get it looking better. My wife says I'm to picky and im the only one who can see it but I think it looks taky.
  • As mentioned above - you can undo two strands & place a new piece back in & re-crimp it For dogs - add a bottom rail, more soil, or I like using landscaping edge blocks - dig down a bit and set. Now the dogs aren't tearing at the fence & as a bonus you save on some weedeater line
