A collection of tools and materials designed for mending breaches and reinforcing weakened sections of metal barriers used for enclosure or security. These typically include items such as splicing sleeves, tensioning tools, fasteners, and short lengths of wire. For instance, a farmer might utilize such a collection to fix a downed section of perimeter protection after a tree fall, preventing livestock from escaping.
The utility of these sets lies in their ability to restore functionality and extend the lifespan of existing structures, representing a cost-effective alternative to complete replacement. Historically, makeshift solutions using whatever materials were on hand were common; the advent of purpose-built collections reflects a standardization and increased efficiency in maintenance practices. Their use minimizes the labor and expense associated with replacing entire sections of fencing.
