Does this fence have any salvage value?

Once upon a time (a year ago) I had chickens, they were getting in my garden so I built a fence to keep them on their own side of the yard. Well fast forward to this year, chickens became too much of a hassle so I got rid of them. Now I'm debating what to do with this fence. I want it gone, but does it have any salvage value? And if so, what is the best way of going about selling/getting ride of it?

put it in craigslist for a 'free fence, if they remove.

You wouldn't get much for it for selling it.

This, but make sure your home insurance is up to date.

Is it pressure treated?

Take it apart and stack it up. You can use it for small projects.

I have a friend who took down his brother's old 6' fence, cut in half and made a nice looking 3' fence.
That material is good for making bird houses, feeders, planter boxes or something creative.

It was cheap I'm sure. Just bite the bullet and burn it. You don't want some strange jackass in your backyard

If its pressure treated don't burn it. They soak pressure treated wood in chemicals so the bugs don't eat it.

Just think of the environment, you might implode the earth if you burn that chemical wood.

if someone tried to put it back up, it'd be all dried up to where it'd be a pain in the arse to nail into it or such..

Exactly what I was thinking. I have like 30 pallets waiting for me at work so I can build the cooler and 2 garden boxes for mothers day.

You could google reclaimed wood fence projects and get some good ideas.
