According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In this scenario, the lawn chair is being pushed against the fence with a force of 8 N due to the wind. Therefore, the fence will exert an equal reaction force of 8 N back on the chair.

So, the reaction force that the fence exerts on the chair is **8 N**.
