    I think inflation made the price triple. Of course, it would be much much better to re-do the whole thing properly as a professional builder would, if you have the skill and time. As a DIY, I find it worked for me. It has been 5 years now, and the entire fence is still very sturdy. At least it withstood the time better than my knee which is getting weaker and weaker over the last 5 years!🤣

But that only applies where the post has two clear and opposite sides. The fence posts I need to reinforce only have one side free, the far side being covered by fence panels, then the left and right side have laterals in the way.

    I recently replaced posts that were rotted set in concrete. If the post portion in the concrete isn't too bad, you can drill a hole in the center, install an eyelet, then pull the post out with a come along. I wasn't so lucky, so I bought a 16" long 3/4" wood spade bit and drilled out a bunch of holes and then broke the wood up with a crowbar. Got about 14-16" of the old rotted post out and hammered a new post into the concrete hole. There was a little wobble at first still, but once the fence got tied all back together it feels pretty solid.

    @@diyjunkiehq I just installed 4 of these on cedar posts that had broke off at the ground 2 of them were still standing connected to the fence. The other 2 were blown out along with the fence. They do do into the concrete partially because my posts were rough cedar and a little over the 3 1/2 planed ones but I will admit you wouldn’t get them in the ground with the little sledge used on this video. I used a 10lb long handle and it goes hard on the metal cut in the lower part of the bracket you would never get it to work by hitting in a board held over the top.
