Can I write off my fence install?

[Nathan Churchill]

Hi, I'm wondering about whether or not I can write-off an expense I had this year. I purchased a property last year and it didn't have a fence, because the previous owners took it down (and to their new house, I assume?). Anyway, it left my property without a fence and I had an agreement with my tenant that I would put up a fence for their dog. My question is, can this fence install be written off as a repair since the previous fence was torn down and removed, or do I have to depreciate it as a capital improvement?
