Pack of 8 Easy Fence Post Repair Kit (to Fix 4 Broken Wood Posts), Quick and Simple to Install, Effective, Durable Steel Stakes

So easy to use. The post I repaired was actually broken completely off from the cement. I used three of these to secure it back on. I’m 66 years old. The thought of having to dig another hole, and mix cement and replace the entire section made me tired! These worked perfectly and were super easy to do. And I did it by my self. Don’t know how long they will hold but it’s good for now and very sturdy. I live in the panhandle of Texas and we are expecting 80 mile an hour gusts today. So let’s see how this stands up!

I just used 2 of the stakes to repair a fence post that had rotted off. In the past I had spent most of a day digging the old post out, breaking concrete with a jack hammer. Then I had to put it all back together with new concrete. Very time consuming and it took a lot of energy. These stakes only took about 10 minutes per side to install. Not very much work and the post will probably be good for a while.

I saw a few testimonials on YT about this product so I decided to try it. The YT videos makes it look like it is easy to install between the post and the concrete that support the post. My experience is that it was quite difficult. I am a man that is very active BTW. So for me to say that it was a lot more difficult that what was portrayed in the vids, buyer beware.The pounding from my 4 lb sledge hammer also dented the top part of the 'stake'. Goes to show how hard I had to pound them in to get them to submerge to the maximum mark required as per instructions.

If you like breaking loose fence sections and digging up concrete and pulling out fence posts, then this is not for you. But if you don't want to spend a whole lot of time repairing broken fence posts, I suggest using these guys. I have fixed fences posts a number of different ways, and this is by far the quickest and easiest way I have tried so far. It does a great job of restoring fence posts to usable condition. I have an extra set on hand for the nest time I need it.

Worked like a charm. Easy to follow written directions. Easy to understand video. Easy to install and didn’t have any problems. Great price for a quality product.

I've used these twice now. Once the post was actually rotted completely away and rails, etc. were keeping it in place over the hole/remainder of post. It worked pretty well, considering the post is literally broken. I would suggest using these BEFORE your posts get to that state...These rely on the post having shrunk away from the concrete ball...Because they are made to drive into that space...If your post hasn't shrunk and the ball itself is loose in the hole, then these won't help..These are nicely made and super handy to use and safe as even the tips are blunted/squared off. Holes are a tad small if you want to use GRK cabinet screws or RSS screws, which are popular, and a step up in strength from standard deck screws...Of course, you can also use 16d nails instead...Be sure you have a 4lb hand sledge for driving these...Anything else is either too light or too heavy/large...A 4lb hand sledge is perfect..Won't you be glad when that new fence gets built?!! I know I will!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As always, depends on your specific situation, i.e. was concrete poured as a "cup" under post, is there even concrete, how rotten is the post below grade, etc. etc.Is it perfect? No, still some flex with the posts, but it straightened 2 posts that were leaning several inches over, and pulling rest of fence with them, and has since withstood strong wind and rain.I had 2 posts, one with a concrete collar, the other in dense, clay soil, and this worked in both situations. The posts were not completely rotten once you went deeper. Often times posts only rot at ground level, or just below.In a different situation, and post was in better shape, I used 12 guage simpson wood straps (12-16 inches long), and they worked well. But the Post Buddy with the ridges, did drive deeper and bite better. The simpson straps were too short and didn't get below the rotten wood for the worst posts.Also, when you drive in the Post Buddy's , they end up somewhat "v"ed out at the top, i.e. an inch or so separated from the post on both sides, so when you screw them into the post, there is tension. This tension helped to pull the post back to vertical. Tip, drive in the Post Buddy on the side that the post is leaning >away< from first, so you can get post closer to vertical before driving in the one on the leaning side.

If you have a fence that is in a bad way use these. Our fence was close to falling over and one set of these into a few posts and we are two years down the road with no issues. Have even carrier our fence through 3 hurricanes. Definitely recommend.
