While wooden fencing remains a popular choice for urban homes, it is susceptible to the elements and will wear down over time. A particularly savage winter can destabilize the ground, leaving the fence wobbly. Alternatively, rot can set in, a major problem if the supporting posts are affected.

If a wood fence has become unstable, but the wood is still in good shape, it's a relatively easy DIY job to sink a concrete repair spur into the ground alongside the post to re-secure it. However, if rot is the issue, components will need to be replaced. Individual pickets can be swapped out, but posts will need to be dug out of their base, replaced, and then secured with fresh concrete.

If a wooden fence is reaching the end of its life -- or you're tired of the upkeep required -- a metal picket is an elegant alternative that can provide the beauty and security of a wooden picket without the ongoing maintenance and fencing repairs.
