I hear ya! As soon as I throw it away, I come up with a project I needed it for, right?! Here is a coat rack I made with pickets from a fence panel.
Somewhat depends on what they look like and the condition of the wood.
If it is in good shape you could make picture frames.
A back splash (but I would seal them first),

Who Knew an Old Privacy Fence Could Look so Good in a House!
I made garden furniture out of mine. Chairs and table , fun but not comfortable. Sold them as garden art years ago.
Thank you all guys, myself and daughter are going to decide from all your ideas which one we will attempt
As a last resort, put them on Facebook Marketplace for free. Leave them at the end of you driveway and they will be gone before you know it.
There are some good ideas here!
