We faced this same problem with our 9 year old Clematis Armandii two years
ago. Before we replaced the fence, we pruned it back hard. During
construction, the largest remaining woody sections were held just out of
the way of the construction using tent pegs, wire and rubber tree guards.
It looked very good one year later and I expect it will be better than ever
this year.
The Clematis clings beautifully the replacement fence because it is almost
identical to the design of our previous fence. My sense is that it would be
difficult to work with a fence with a substantially different design.
