"Bit of a bodge" suggests you are modest. Working for tightarse clients encourages that in my experience. Good job.

Best video I've seen using this technique...Yes you could just replace whole post, but if panel fixtures are on the neighbours side, you need access to the neighbours garden...and we don't all get on with our neighbours...!

That's the situation I'm in now. Fence is leaning in multiple consecutive sections, but the boards connect on the other side of the fence and the guy living next door has been ignoring us trying to make plans to replace about 54 feet (16.5 meters) of fence.

@@darkchia00 If you do get to replace whole fence, best to use concrete posts and gravel boards, I have concrete posts with the groove so when panel rots you can slide/drop another panel in to the posts, but you will need help as the concrete posts are very heavy..! Wood posts waste of time, keep rotting...Concrete and you will probably never have to replace a post...

I've done similar repairs using lengths of L-shaped steel extrusion, but those concrete spurs are a neat manufactured solution! I think I'd consider adding washers to the coach bolts, though.

Yeah you could. The hole inside the concrete post is conical. So the further you drive the bolt into the concrete the more it bites.

DIY is right. For the same effort you can and should change the post as any proper builder would

I like this quick fix. I live in the states and I have this problem with a post on my fence, and I noticed someone commented to just replace the post. In my case, that would be laborious because I used pickets instead of panels, 2x4's and the 4x4's of course and that would be a lot of work, and I actually did most of my fence when my husband broke his leg. He is just offering a quick fix. TFS

Good tutorial, thanks for the effort to show us. Once everything was exposed, I myself would just go the extra mile and replace the whole post.

I live in Canada and have adopted the "Let it ROT" attitude. It's the quickest way.

Awesome work. Never saw this technique before.

Now you have a mixture of concrete AND mud!! excellant failure method! plus what is your frost level? that will pick up your post over time and raise it right out of the ground , because of the, very rough, sides.

I've got one of those to fix at home. Love these simple videos.

I've got a broken fence post that I've had propped up while I figure out how to fix it. Your video has shown me how simple it is to remedy. Cheers. I've dug the concrete bases of fence posts out in the past with a club hammer and big chisel and it's been a absolute nightmare so the last time, I invested in a rotary hammer drill to break the concrete up and boy, what a difference that made. You definitely need one of these if you're hoping to repair a broken post in a couple of hours.

We use cedar wood for the fence slats and pressure treated wood for 4x4 posts and bracing 2x4s. Fences last a long time. It' usually not moisture but just lousy installs that gets our posts. I got one in my backyard now that I could use one of those concrete spurs!

As a fellow newbie DIY KZreadr, the quality of your Videos are not easy, as i am finding out. Well done mate.

I put a half length hardwood post in the ground up against the failing post. I quickly pair the two posts together with a 2 inch wide band of galvanized sheet metal. One screw through the overlapping sheet metal holds the two posts securely together. I then put a lower band of sheet metal as well. It takes about 20 minutes to do and should last another 50 years or so! Another good thing is that I am using old posts, sheet metal and screws which I have saved or found by the roadside!

Brother you've just saved me a lot of grief and wasted money - money that I don't have to spare! I have about 300' of fence that has gone just like the one in this video, and have been planning to replace it all this spring when the better weather comes. I've never seen concrete spurs like what you used here, but will look for them. If worse comes to worst, I will cut some 4" x 4" post sections and make my own. I'm embarrassed to say that I should have thought of this simple solution on my own, but I'm grateful you went to the trouble to show us how you did it. Subbed!

It’s a nice fix for sure. However, if you don’t find the same materials…you could try buying a galvanized piece of fence pipe and sink it into the ground a few feet …. how deep depends on the load to be carried and your local frost line if applicable. You can use several fastening techniques as well as hiding the pipe with simple “boxing techniques”. ** The pipe can be sunk into the ground using a sledge hammer or set in place in a cement base according to the planned duration of the fix and/or budget concerns. In fact most folks should always use galvanized piping for posts and then dress them up with wood boxing. No rot … no worries. 😉

@kimchiman1000

@@presspound7358 The galvanized pipe is a great suggestion; probably even stronger than concrete spurs, as it won't crack pr bend - at least not a thick walled pipe won't. I'll look into it. As long as it can be secured strongly enough, it should innthwory last decades. Thanks for your idea!

Hmm I’m afraid I can’t help with that.

This technique is amazing! It actually doesn't look that bad. I have never seen a concrete spur like this in any building supply that I have been to. I would have to manufacture the spurs myself, in order to accomplish this repair method. I suppose there is are steel rebars inside the spur? Possibly 4 pieces going vertical and attached by wiring small pieces together? I guess a person could construct a form with sleeves for the holes to illuminate drilling? I wouldn't enjoy storing them.

hello thank you for the instructions a very nice explanatory way to do this thank again Also I would assume before installation You can always burn the bottom of the fence post or the post that was being repaired and put some burnt diesel fuel oil on the post after it before putting it into the concrete and I'm not sure about concrete I think rocks would work I'm not This is how they used to do it with log cabins I suppose you could follow this with with but you always I believe you are supposed to leave a section open so the wood can breathe however I don't know that but the post however you do have to do this for interior doors I'm sure you're aware as it is for I believe the bottom two but once it is burnt and has used diesel fuel oil on it that should do the trick as well. However thank you for the informative information It's an old school way that works on 4 x 4 I know that as I said people used to use the log cabin This is coming from a family that are all contractors. Old school usually works really good. Did it again thank you so much this is very informative I have a split level fence that has rotted at the base so I can try this thank you so much again and hoping you and yours have a great God blessed day in Jesus Christ name 🙏🏽

Thank you for another very interesting and enjoyable video to watch. I really enjoy watching your videos and have been a subscriber of your channel for a long time now so please don’t be offended when I say the following. I started my bricklaying apprenticeship way back in 1971 at the tender age of 15, and one of the first things that was drummed into us all was that the word plum was to be used when referencing the vertical, and the word level was to be used when referencing the horizontal (and never were we allowed to mix them up😅). Like I said before I don’t wish to offend you as you are very knowledgeable in a great many areas and make many wonderful videos, so please accept this little correction in the way that it was intended 😊👍

No offence taken, your right. I just generalise when I say level as that’s what most people will know it as. Thanks for following the channel.

Some sound advice there, thanks. I recently had a few broken posts and repaired them with Post Buddy, have you heard of them? No digging out of concrete required, on two sides of the post simply remove the soil down to the top of the concrete, bang in the Post Buddy metal stakes between the concrete and the post stump (two per post is usually enough, one front or back and one at the side), pop in a few screws, put back in the removed soil and that's it. Arguably they may not be as effective as your method but they are good enough and are certainly a lot easier. I've used these on severely rotted posts too.

This is one of the reason why when building a fence with concrete, the concrete is higher than the ground and is domed so that the water runs down and away from the post. It also makes it easier to weed wack the grass away from the post with out hitting the wood post. With the bottom post out, why not just replace the whole post at this time and skip the concrete patch. Just my thoughts. Thanks for sharing. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
