How to Repair Fences in Stardew Valley?

Stardew Valley has four types of fences: Wood, Iron, Stone, and the sturdiest of all, Hardwood. Each type has its own durability, meaning the better the material, the less maintenance you’ll need:
- Wood: Lasts 54 to 68 days
- Iron: 248 to 252 days
- Stone: 118 to 122 days
- Hardwood: 558 to 562 days
If a fence gets too damaged, it’ll simply disappear. While Hardwood seems like the best choice, not everyone has the resources. Don’t worry — you can still use what you’ve got and keep it in good shape. Now, how do you repair fences in Stardew Valley?
Firstly, tying the knot does wonders — your spouse will quietly repair fences without fussing. You heard it right: Getting married comes with built-in repair services.
Another approach involves good old elbow grease. If a fence breaks, smash it with an axe and replace it with a new piece from your inventory.
Lastly, aim for the Gold Clock if you’re looking for a more permanent solution. This magical item halts fence decay and stops random tree growth on your farm. Obtained through a mission from The Wizard, the Gold Clock is a big investment at 10 million gold. But the time saved on maintenance makes it worth every penny.
You can repair fences in Stardew Valley by using any of these three options. Don’t forget to check out our other guides on this page to make your adventure in Pelican Town easier.
