re: Replacing rotten posts in overgrown fence line

Just like when nurses remove every other stitch to prevent other stitches from tearing, you can add a new post in the middle of the older posts without disrupting the older structure. Make sure the new posts are set and solid before pulling the old ones back into line.... Soften the foundation of the older ones the pull them back into line and bond the line into the newer ones. Steel corner brackets suit this need very well.
