Repair a Broken Fence Post | SUPER EASY AND FAST !

Excellent just what my neighbour needs will tell them 👍🏾

Would be ok but gales blew mine over snapped it off at the bottom.

RSL Engineering fence post repair spikes are far better.

I've got wobbly fence posts, but they're concrete posts, not wood. Now what?

Do a proper job and charge the proper rate.

Just break concrete our and put new post in

Looks really good mate and I have a few post that was on my list to sort out this year 😂

£17.95 plus £6.95 postage for two metal bars. Nope. You could buy metal like that from a builder's merchant for a fraction of the cost. Come to think of it, a new post and concrete is half that price.

Very interesting. Excellent.

Did you drive the post buddies through the cement? If so why didn’t the concrete split?

A spur much stronger 💪

Great helpful video thank you

I had a length of fencing blow down in a recent gale. Contractors quoted me £1900. The repair by another tradesman was £320, by replacing 15 year old posts and keeping the perfectly sound panels.

Costs the same to buy new post 7.50 2.50 ballast and 5 bag cement

It's called a bodg job 😅😅😅.

Omg.i done it all my life mate.just put in a new post it would b a lot easy.your a joke.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Just the fence to paint for the first time in it's life now.

Cheers for this mate

EXCELLENT---I'VE BEEN PONDERING THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS; WHETHER REPLACEMENT WAS WORTH THE COST, OR THE TIME AND TROUBLE, AS MINE IS CLOSE TO A LOW BOUNDERY WALL. BUT NOW, I CAN SEE THAT A SIDE SUPPORT WOULD DO THE JOB TOO.

Sorry I cannot see exactly! are you hammering in the post buddy in between the post and the concrete, or outside of the concrete?

Post Buddy. Brilliant! Just what I needed.

Excellent.

Lucky the panel was screwed in originally eh.🤣😂

All those screw holes are going to speed up those posts rotting. Wip out the panel fence and get a much better-looking and structurally stable featherboarded fence.

Fence like that makes the garden look like a prison exersize yard.

absolute waste of time and effort.wont stop strong winds from eventually buckling the steal rods.if your going to do it do the job properly

As a fencer I see this as a bodge, just like using a spur post. Best to put a new post in and be done with it

If you burn the base of the posts first it will create a charcoal barrier and charcoal won’t rot. That post was badly installed.

Just use concrete posts problem solved

Surely it'd be cheaper to buy a new post

We had a post break after a recent storm, when I came to remove the panels the previous owner had hammered in 76 nails holding two panels in! I mean FFS 76, Christ on a bike, the weight of the nails probably pulled it down.
Some people shouldn't be allowed near DIY.

So if the post is concerted in you can't drive it down. Just remove post and concrete and replace, two hours and job done

What a waste of time

Can you come round ? will make you a cuppa? :)

Can you do this with leaning post? Mine haven't rotten. My dogs going under caused it to lean????

Brilliant! Coming to you from Virginia, USA! I have 15,000 linear ft of 3 board oak fencinf=g for horses and always need ideas!

1. it was nailed. Der, concrete?

Thanks. 😀😀

Hey, you don't need a concrete base for wooden post. it won't make it more stable nor more resistent to rottening. Wood will rot faster inside the concrete than when it's stabbed into the soil. Burn the bottom of the post first. It will make it much more resistent to moisture. It can last more than 50 years that way. And never use conifer lumber for fences. It is the best lumber. It never bends in roof construction and it's light, easy to lift it and work with it. But it's sensitive to moisture

Thank you for this 👍
Great option definitely

Done it, just the job great info saved me a lot of work and money 👍👍

Really helpful, thanks 👍

I used the same hardware to replace a post difficulty located in a split level location. Don’t estimate the amount of pounding required in some locations…

Hi nice job. Just wanted to know are those post buddies hammered into the concrete?

You have lifted the gloom of this seventy year old arthritc having discovered a broken fence post. Twenty odd minutes I can manage. Cheers mate.

Thanks so much! Much better than having to pour concrete in November!

Good stuff!

These fences are amazing.

Take both panels out break post off split cement in half pull old post stick a new post and fill with cement not that hard
