Handyman Series: How to repair a wood privacy fence, replacing boards with or without cuts
What happens here
With the cut lines clearly marked, use a cordless jigsaw to carefully cut along the traced curves. Take your time to make smooth, accurate cuts. The presenter also performs some minor 'tweaking' and smoothing of the edges with the saw after the initial cuts to ensure a polished finish that blends well with the existing fence.
Goal: Shape the new fence boards to match the desired profile
