Great idea if you need a quick repair that costs very little. An idea would be to have someone to hold the fence firmly in place while you drilled to save all the unscrewing but of course we don’t always have help when we need it. Thanks for the video it’s helped me to see another way to fix the problem.

Did this single-handedly on a very tilted 4' foot picket fence thanks to your instructions!

Bro this is good. It might look shit but hey, it saves a few hundred pounds for now

I used a ratcheting strap to a nearby tree, but before that I dug out the post, especially the backside (the side fence leans away from. This was about 6 posts so I did 3 at a time using the next 2 to help reduce stress from the one I was actually working on I straightened the post and then added concrete to my holes. 2 important notes. The fence was solid except for the lean. 2. This is very hard work. End result was fantastic though and it was a permanent fix.

You made me laugh so much. You can work for comedy station!

don't mind all the haters, it's a hack, a decent hack for what it is. My question, how hard was it to drive that metal post 4 feet into the ground how did you hammer that down so far? ladder? other mechanism?

[adamshapero]

Very informative and great instructions.

Just an additional comment, I like this method and I will tell you why this works for me. The neighbors do not contribute anything to maintaining the fence and the way our fence is leaning puts the pole on their side of the fence in a seldom used side yard that is close to their house, they are slobs and the yard is not maintained. So the ugly part is on their side, lol

I think not great idea But thank you for sharing this video with us 🙏

That’s a FIX?
I think I’ll purchase an old junker car and drive it up against a leaning post and leave it there for support!
You Tubers…….WOW.

[mannyaguilar]

And you leave that metal post there? That’s not very nice looking. I thought you were going to do something else to then be able to remove the post and fence stay straight.

I know of no one that puts the posts 3 ft below the ground..and I live where it freezes in winter

[nesparas]

Should’ve used ratchet straps to bring it close to the pole then secure it.

[adamatt]

I don’t have the heart to give u a thumbs down.

[ventureswithjoe]

Tear down and replace is the only answer there.

How to say you're a hack without saying you're a hack

[artbbh]

Mending only gets you so far, good temp solution though.

[jimc]

What the hell is all that background noise?

[SandraGarcia-fuet]

Yeah you will have a fence until you get a new one up but this will not work for me.

Well sorry but I think it looks a bit of a chip shop🤦 wouldn't it be better to address why! It's leaning eg. Post not firmly fixed at the bottom ....either not deep enough/cement just a woman🤷
