Still holding fine in February 2024. and all the temporary fence posts and temporary plumbing straps were removed once the concrete set after a couple days under the tarp. and I put normal fence post clamps. and put the dirt back. and landscaping fabric and wood chips. Neighbor said it looks great.

It's February 2024 and we sold this house last week and this fence still standing perfectly straight up, no issues.

This is THE BEST video that i have seen.... a reg guy with the same issues many of us encounter... i liked the temp post and the galvanized pipe that is off center from the exact location from where the two panels meet. Rather than try to remove my leaning post that is in a LARGE filled hole with concrete, I'll just move my post down a little, I also appreciated the DIY method of adding 2x4's as needed. It is not the perfect method, but i am not looking for perfect. I just need to find a method that will work! THANKS!

It's been 3 years and still standing strong.

I hate digging post holes. IF the soil isn't rock solid or full of boulders. I just drive a 10' piece of 3/4" rigid galvinized
pipe in the ground. 6 ft fence, pipe goes in 4 ft, 2 hole half straps mounted to rails. So far 10 years solid

Its been 2 years and it's still sturdy and no issues.

This is great! I'm an older single woman and cannot do the extensive jobs on YT. This I can do and will do so my neighbors stop freaking out.

Thanks for the video. That looks good. If you don't like the looks of the metal pole next to the wooden fence, you can always paint it to match the fence, or paint if black, or place a fence picket in front of the pole. Fencing contractors tell me that if the posts are rotten, the fence itself is too. Do you have any thoughts about that?

Wow! Great idea - thank you for sharing.

Thanks, bro! This is a quick and easy way for me to repair the fence between me and my neighbor who had stuff
leaning against one post! He's too lazy to do it...and I see no reason to invest digging out the old fence post with
CONCRETE. This way, just install to metal fence post on either side of Weak Post, affix them with clamps. Done!

even easier if you just break out the concrete and fasten the steel post to the fence post after you pound it in about a foot into the bottom of the hole (Use at least an 8ft post) . only wildcard is setting the post square and flush with the fence post when its level (do this before pounding it in) then you can cut the wooden post base to clear the ground /concrete then set your concrete in the hole around the post. Change the diameter of the hole if necessary to keep the steel post as close to center of the pour as possible. The steel post doesn't need to be as high as the fence. Try and anchor the wood to the steel at three points.

Great video. I’m in The process of fixing my swaying fence. Lowe’s installed it two years ago, and now it’s leaning. My post didn’t rot, but more so the post holes weren’t dug down deep enough. I’ll post my video soon.

You can use hot water to help with the concrete chemical reaction in cold weather.

You can treat your wood with motor oil. Works good

Great solution. I can do that. Thanks!

Should use a self tapping metal screw to attach the strapping to the metal post..

I think this method since you don't have to dig anything out or replace the railers. Gonna try this today. I might dig out the old concrete and reuse the same holes but I haven't decided yet (probably not since this method is so much easier) - also you should put a cap on the post I think so it doesn't fill with water?

[pinkflamingo]

When you did the other posts did you just cut them off at grade?

FYI, I uploaded video for fence. I actually linked your video towards the end so people can click onto your channel. Thanks!
