Thanks for the replies.

It looks like I'm in for a BORING summer, as Hermine suggested.

If I were to replace a section of Chain Link, I'd likey have to go from post
to post. Although a tension bar might allow you to join a short piece. The
tree stump is at the end of the fence BTW, so it's only one join, not two.


My situation is even more critical! not to be in a competition for
chain link problems...but my chain link is pre-stretched kennel
panels, made of fine link, about 1 and 1/4 inches square, custom
fabricated in about 1977! and part of a modular setup. High up in the
air where a person like me (short) can hardly reach. However, when i
dismantle it for relocating it here, it will be up on trestles, and i
will gently remove the last of this BURL WOOD, which is hyper hard and
has persisted for fifteen years, i am ashamed to admit. At today's
prices, replacement is not an option, this is bethanized chain lin,
smooth as silk and VERY EXPENSIVE. chain link can be very elegant if
the detailing is PERFECT, or it can look like a sagging mess. a whole
other story.
get out the drills and burs and work on it like fifteen minutes at a
time, with a radio or something for diversion.
