hog panels are a different story, since they are portable. But I still wouldn't show it one way and then make a contract issue.
Point being, it's your fence, do what you want with it, but why offer it up as a contract quibble which may cost a sale.
Sale of houses are soft around here. I would think you do anything you can to sell it.

I agree! If I were looking to buy a place and there was fencing when I looked at the property, I would not feel comfortable if they later told me they were taking the fencing with them. Likewise, if I were selling and showed the home with fencing in place, I would never think of removing it.
The OP asked about removing fencing after selling the place. My thought was that it would turn a lot of people off to the sale. But if the seller were concerned about losing the cost of the fencing, then like I suggested, an option might be to simply figure the value and add it to the selling price. And if the seller still desired to take the fencing anyway, instead of turning off a potential buyer with that demand, perhaps the seller might suggest 'haggling' a bit with the asking price. Indeed, a lot of home prices are 'haggled' over minor issues.
Anyway, I just want to clarify that I wasn't recommending putting the fence in the contract ..merely suggested it as an option if the fence were really that important to the seller.
