Update: a 4-foot section of my cedar fence collapsed after that heavy rain in Tacoma last month.

I'm debating whether to just replace the rotted posts or redo the whole run, since the rest of the panels are about 8 years old... what would you guys do?

Patricia634 makes a good point about checking the other posts, but honestly, if you're already doing the work, just replace the whole run. Those 8-year-old panels are halfway through their life anyway, especially with our wet weather. You'll end up with a fence that looks brand new and matches perfectly, instead of having one fresh section next to older, fading wood. It's more money now, but you won't be fixing another panel in two years.

You said the rest of the panels are about 8 years old. Are the other posts still solid, or do they wiggle a bit too? That's usually the deciding factor for me.
