Repair a Broken Fence Post | SUPER EASY AND FAST !

(Links to tools and equipment used in the description box below) In this video ill show you how to repair a broken fence post in under 20 minutes..... without having to dig out the concrete !

I do many differeant fence post repairs and this has to be the easiest and cheapest way to fix a fence post, by far !

This is the quickest fence post repair you will ever do !

Its a simple case of hammering in 2 metal bars between the concrete and fence post in the ground and then screwing it into the exisiting fence post.

Its as simple as that and requires very few tools.

The Post Buddy is the quickest, easiest repair for broken timber fence posts you can buy.

This system will fix any concreted-in wood post where it stands in as little as 20 minutes. No digging. No need to dismantle the fence.

I hope that this video helped you in some way, and if it did, please leave a comment for me in the comments section. I love to hear from people who gained value from any of my videos. I always respond to comments, so would be great to hear from you guys ! 👍

Well done for pointing out that the only bit of a post that rots is the bit that is in contact with both soil and air . Very few people seem to understand this

[normansmith]

You have lifted the gloom of this seventy year old arthritc having discovered a broken fence post. Twenty odd minutes I can manage. Cheers mate.

[alanwood]

I’ve done something similar about 3-4 years ago using 75cm lengths of 40mm scrap angle iron, I just cut the bottoms to form a spike, then drove them in between the post stump and concrete, once in position drilled fixing holes and secured with 75mm decking job done.
The posts haven’t budged since installation.

Good lad, shares the secret with customers, not all tradesman will do this, they are all for money, this man is very honest, God bless him .

[stephensage]

Thanks for offering help unfortunately there are people out there who always know best and can't handle change! Thanks for taking the time to try to help others keep going and keep the faith.

I’m a landscape gardener and I repair fences all the time. This is a great little hack which will save time and money. Great vid!

A simple tip that i have used ever since i did fencing as a job in the late 60s.
When you put in new wooden posts bitumastic paint the end of the post that goes into the ground but make sure 2 inches of the paint remains above the soil.
This will make your posts last 4 to 5 times longer.
Its the wet dry cycle that makes posts rot at ground level

I used this system and it worked. For clarity you bang the steel strip in between the concreted and the post.

This is what my Dad would've done back in the day, he'd use a bed frame part ( one of those old metal beds) thanks for sharing

This is probably what I've been looking for in mending my broken fencepanel post base without the hassle of digging out the old postcrete and post. Cheers buddy will be stocking up for the future.😎

[davidprendergast]

Fantastic video. I have this problem right now. I'm going to get the missus on it right away. 😂

[alienpredator]

Thanks so much! Much better than having to pour concrete in November!

[MrDaiseymay]

EXCELLENT---I'VE BEEN PONDERING THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS; WHETHER REPLACEMENT WAS WORTH THE COST, OR THE TIME AND TROUBLE, AS MINE IS CLOSE TO A LOW BOUNDERY WALL. BUT NOW, I CAN SEE THAT A SIDE SUPPORT WOULD DO THE JOB TOO.

[davedaniels]

We've done to this to 3 posts out of 20. We got quoted over £2000 to replace all the panels and posts. Not a permanent fix, but like the man says, buys you a couple of years.

[Bibsy]

Brilliant! Coming to you from Virginia, USA! I have 15, 000 linear ft of 3 board oak fencinf=g for horses and always need ideas!

[crustaterrocks]

Well I bought some and fitted them to two post on my leaning fence, time will tell but it looks good. However, found the buddies quite difficult to get hammered in, myself and son were taking shifts. Either you are super strong or we had super reinforced concrete ... time for a hot bath to ease the shoulder. Really pleased to see the video, was unaware of the product, and was contemplating having to replace a 30m fence ... got mine next day via Amazon

[huwphillips]

An excellent video. I shall look for some post buddies after storm Eunice has ravaged my fence. Thank you for sharing this information and allowing us to know about a cheap DIY repair

[marksapollo]

What a fantastic trick, hate doing fences lol. My brother in law is coming round to help me change them to 6 foot panels when they allow people to sleep over this month. But I'll remember this trick.

[andymadder]

Been repairing fences for 35yrs.
X2 lengths of 9mm angle iron, cut 1 end of each length to a point and club hammer them in the ground in opposite corners of the post, screw into post.
No digging or removing of fence panels required.
10yrs after repair had fence posts that had completely rotted through at the bottom but post/fence still solid.
