How big is the pipe? If it is small enough, you can pick up a hand bender at Lowes, Home Depot, Ace, etc.

Sorry I can’t help, but I suggest you get Sessions to build it and Trump to pay for it.

Rope, Jeep, driver, cold beer.

Get a bigger piece of pipe to just go over your existing pipe, slide it down to the bend and pull to straighten while bracing the bottom part.

Do you have a local tool rental place? Renting a hydraulic is cheaper than wrenching your back. Good luck!

[shotgun]

no pictures?

Do you have or know someone who has an ATV they can drive over the pipe? I do this with my pipe horse gates...

Will it fit between a trailer ball and the receiver hitch?

Take a photo and post it here.

Do you have a custom exhaust shop in your area?Just take the bent pieces to them for straightening.

I bought one years ago at a store similar to Harbor Freight. Try them.

I dug a trench near the cyclone upright pole, put in a 4x4 post against the pole with a hydraulic jack behind the 4x4. Gradually jacked the pressure, as I pounded the cyclone pole above with a sledge hammer. It easily bent back to an upright position. I checked with a carpenter’s level to ensure it was vertical. Had to do this with several bent poles. I had no access to the other side from my property, so I had to use this push technique instead of a pull technique.

Repair a bent fence rail

1 of 2

Mark a cutting line

Slide the new rail down so the crimped end is located over a straight section of the damaged rail. Then mark the cutting line.

Figure A: Cutting guide

Start at an existing rail joint, then cut the replacement section to length.

When a tree limb falls on your property, you can bet it's going to damage something. And if that “something” happens to be a chain link fence, consider yourself lucky, because fixing a chain link fence is an easy DIY repair. The pros would charge about $150 plus materials for the repair shown here. But you can do it yourself for about $60, including tool rental.

We asked our friends at Premier Fence in St. Paul, MN, to evaluate the damage on this fence and walk us through the repair. Here's how to proceed.

Get a new section of top rail and some wire ties from a home center or fence supplier. The top rail should have one open end and one crimped end. Grab a hacksaw, file and pliers—and a helper.

Start by removing the wire ties that hold the fence fabric to the top rail. Then rest the new rail on top of the damaged rail and have your helper hold it in place while you mark a cutting line on the old rail. Then mark a cut on the opposite end of the new rail where it meets a joint.

Cut the damaged rail at the cutting line (Figure A), slide it off the joint and toss it. Then cut the excess off the top rail to mate with the existing joint. Create some maneuvering room by unbolting the top rail from the corner post and sliding it away from the damaged area. Install the larger end of the new rail onto the crimped end of the old rail. Then make the final connection. Reconnect the rail end cap to the corner post.

FYI-Where I come from they call this a chain-link fence.

A come-along won’t do the job?

[Mastador1]

I’m going to guess that it is the posts set in concrete that are bent? If so, short of a portable hydraulic bender, you have to set new posts. Here on the west coast I believe we call that a chain link fence.

I know a guy who’s good at that kind of stuff but I think he’d have to charge you quite a bit for mileage. :)

Harbor Freight has the tubing/pipe bender, about $200
