Moderators - move this to the correct section if I have it in the wrong place.
We have a terrible rusted chain link fence around our field. Anyone have any experience with a fairly large project like this?
Some have said prime it and paint it ourselves, others say replace it bc it's not worth the labor. Any suggestions/experiences would be greatly appreciated.

I understand that, but it goes around the outside of our field which is also the outside border of our campus. I'd like it to appear better and show that we have some pride in our campus.

Isn't that something that should be handled above you?

I was on the board of a little league where the fence was in bad shape - very rusty. We ended up pressure washing then priming & painting with a sprayer. The amount of hours/effort was significant but it was all volunteer labor so we went that route. The finished product looked like new but it was a LOT of work and probably not worth it if somebody can write a check for new fencing materials.

if it is just the fence and the poles are good, then just re-do the fence. The biggest pain the butt is the post locating and setting anyways.

Check around, might be able to get some used chain link. Price around for new. If your the ad then you must have a budget. Take it to the super and school board, if they don't care about it then it will be up to you if you care about it. Get some sponsors for money and put their ad on the fence. Power spraying and painting is a lot of work for something that may not last.
