[QUOTE="simme, post: 1658556, member: 40418"] Patches will get you by for a little while. But you will still have an old fence. If you have an old truck, you can always patch it up a little more. But at the point that it fails you too many times or costs you too much in repairs, it is time to consider a replacement. Best approach might depend on some other issues. Do you intend to have cows there long term or just a short while? Is this a perimeter fence? What are the implications of the cows getting out? A fence along a busy highway needs to be a lot better than one that keeps the cows out of a swamp or forest. One is a danger, the other is an inconvenience. Electric requires a good bit on maintenance, same as patches. If you install a temporary fence a few feet from another fence, the temporary fence tends to become the permanent one and the space between becomes the wasteland. At some point, a tearout and replacement will be needed. The old pay me now or pay me later thing. [/QUOTE]
