What happens here

If a fence picket is damaged, it can be easily replaced. First, carefully remove the top rail of the fence panel. Some rails have tabs that can be pried out using a pry bar or pinched from the backside using pliers or a clamp. Once the tabs are disengaged, the top rail can be pulled out. Remove the broken picket and slide in a new replacement picket. Then, slide the top rail back into place, ensuring it locks securely.

Goal: Replace a broken fence picket.

What they say

Hide

a piece of wood or a golf ball hits your fence, to patch that hole, all you have to do is remove the top bar. You can try to pick up these protrusions or clamp them on this side. Another method is to take a clamp and attach it to the back side, this will compress the tabs and you will be able to pull this bar out. Now we will simply pull the top bar, remove the broken picket fence, replace the section, and pull it onto your post. We will cut the plank, install the plank under the gate, install the picket fence,
