You saved my life. I bought five of these galvanized posts, 10 strong-ties, seven bags of quikcrete (messed up the position of the first post twice and had to redo), screws, post-hole diggers, and a pile-driver for a little under 200 bucks and fixed half of my blown-over fence. The original wooden posts were completely rotten and heavy winds blew five panels down onto my neighbor's yard and I didn't have the money to have the entire fence replaced. The panels were still in good condition so the fence looks as good as ever and so much anxiety lifted off my shoulders.

I've watched every fence-straightening video on youtube and I'm going with this.

Hello
This message is 2yrs coming! I passed your video on to my husband and his assistant in 2021. They were successfully able to straighten our extremely leaning fence following your instructions in this video! What's important is our fence was straightened in 2021 this is 2023 & it has remained straight 2yrs later. Also we that we live in Manitoba Canada🇨🇦🤗 So we've had 2 springs, falls 🤗& winters of constant heavy freeze-thaws & our fence hasn't moved! Still tall and straight! We'd like to thank you so much for your time and advise when you recorded and shared this video on YouTube! That's how I found you by searching on YouTube! It was relatively easy they just followed your instructions completely & were very successful. It took a total of approximately 2weeks total, working every other evening and working the 2 Saturdays & it was done! Had to allow time for the concrete to set around the metal posts. Concrete was chosen due to our extreme weather. They held the fence straight with our riding mower till concrete & metal posts were set. Our yard is 100ft by 120ft. So I'd say 2 men working part-time over a 2 week span did really good! Oh did I mention that both men were amateurs! 1st time straightening a fence & they had an easy time following your video! Thank you🤗🫂💞Thank👍you👋Thank you 🤗💞🫂👍🇨🇦👋

I have been trying to replace my backyard fence (which is really long) for years, but the neighbors didn't wanna cut down a tree growing on the fence line that tore up the fence to begin with. I was just patching it because I couldn't properly replace it. Finally a hurricane blew it over and, now that I'm financially impacted by this economy, all the sudden they wanna split the cost of a new fence. I told them I'd fix it with the galvanized posts and they offered the pay for the entire fence instead...lol

If they'd have just let the tree get cut down, I would have paid for a new fence years ago. Now they're gonna pay for it and the cost of cutting the tree, all thanks to me finding this video!!

Still gonna use the metal posts for my front fence that is sagging though, because I'm not worried about aesthetics. I'll just paint it. This seems much more practical. Got a 4in auger bit coming in tomorrow and will start drilling holes and pounding poles!

Definitely a win!! Thank you for the video!!

You included the most important part of any project: Hearing Protection !
You will thank yourself once you hit 60+ !

This is a very sensible solution for a fence specially if the neighbour do not like to share the cost of replacing the fence and don’t like to share maintaining the fence.

Over here. We dig down about 2 ft. Pour gravel. Place fence post on. Pour concrete. Once set (10 mins) we get concrete and create an oval so water runs off. 20+ years with 100mph winds 😊

I like the idea instead of a large concrete hole dig a smaller one and drive the post down into it. I can only suggest, that if the soil permits you to drive the post further to take advantage of the extra strength you would get. I would drive it down until just above the upper 2 x 4 leaving room for your reinforcement above it. Thanks for the great video.

Just found out I have to replace fence post and I wanted to thank you for this video. I had no idea what I was going to do to fix it.

[arabelle]

Thank you for this! Mine is leaning really bad into the neighbors parking lot and if it falls not only will my dog get out but their car will be hit. My landlord is “fixing it” which means they came to look at it once and never came back, so I’m going to have to do it on my own. You have no idea how wonderful videos like these are me being a woman alone no one taught me these and I don’t have a lot of ppl to ask.

Dear lord, I am late to this video but this video just saved me so much money. You the real MVP dude! Subscribed!

[carvelrider]

Thank you so much for this video @Handyman Journey. I too fixed my fence today myself with the assistance of your awesome video. I am a female (this is my husbands YouTube acct I use) and I am so so so proud of myself. All with your knowledge and willingness to share with us.

I agree fully that that is a great way to make that fence solid again, the only problem I see is the owners may not be too happy with the appearance of all of the steel posts, especially if it is a cedar fence. IMO

[creaciawms]

Now if my neighbor will just let me over into his yard.... lol. Great video!!!

[mitchstavely]

I started doing this a couple of years ago. I was tired of trying to repair with more wooden post just to rot in a few years. Thanks for the great video.

[Ceares]

love this idea, more expensive than wooden posts for my poor pocketbook but easier and less intrusive

I am about to tackle this for (2) 32' fence sections that got blown over due to rotten non treated 4X4's placed in shallow depth in clay. But I have to do a full rebuild as the rails are way rotten as well. I bought 16' long ground contact "wet: 2x4's at the big orange store a few weeks ago and am drying them now prior to use. The local metal salvage yard sells sch 40 2 3/8's drilling pipe for $1.50/ft and will cut to 8ft lengths for free. I have hard clay and need to go close to frost line for frost heave, ugh! I am using a Ryobi 18V 4" auger that does work slowly if I add hot water/dawn soap and go slowly. The original fence pickets are full rough cut 1X8 from local timber mill. I am planning to remove them recut the rough rotten enges off and apply stain on ends and then roll stain after everything is back place. The whole idea of using wooden 4X4 fence posts is doomed for failure, using metal for fences is the only way to go if you are wanting a fence that will last without constant problems from wind and rot.

Instead mixing concrete, put the dry mix in the hole and add water. It won't be high strength concrete but it will be more than strong enough for this purpose.
