This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP Curiculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Homesteading

In this Badge Bit you will repair 400 feet of a traditional fence.

Here are some articles and videos for your inspiration:

For wooden fence:

Here is one about repairing a leaning fence:

And one for chainlink fencing:

To document your completion of the BB, provide the photos or video (<2 min) of the following:
 - the supplies you're starting with
 - the damaged fence
 - part way through repairing the fence
 - the repaired fence

Good question!  That's not quite "traditional" enough though...
