Pack of 4 Easy Fence Post Repair Kit (to Fix 2 Broken Wood Posts), Quick and Simple to Install, Effective, Durable Steel Stakes

Bought two packs of two in order to try to fix two 4 x 4 fence posts broken in the recent storm. The posts were concreted in and suffered fair wear and tear over the years. I didn't expect these metal bars to work, but the possibility that they might was worth a gamble as the alternative was digging out the old concrete and doing a full replacement job (or paying hundreds for someone else to do it).I was very impressed. Of the four bars, three of them went in relatively easily to the required depth using just a club hammer. The fourth hit something and wouldn't go deeper even with a sledge hammer, so this one was approx 10cm too high, but I went ahead anyway.They did a great job and fixed the broken posts. I put new additional posts in midway between the broken posts for additional support, but the repairs have probably got me two to four years of additional life and saved money.Easy to install and worked well in a tough situation.

Just installed Post Buddy for the first time and was seriously impressed. Super easy to install, and the results were great with one sturdy fence post back with minimal effort. Great tool!

Needed these to sheer up a fence post that had been badly installed. Used 3 and after fitting, has been transformational - the post is now solid, and has held up to stormy weather. Fairly easy to install, although the tops could do with a lip to use a lamp hammer on, as I needed to use a drift to hammer home, which tended to pein the ends a bit, but they screwed in fine. A secure repair that hopefully should last!

Very clever solution - wooden posts only rot from the soil surface to a few inches down, so most of the wood encased in the concrete is still sound.By bridging between the good wood above ground to the good wood in the concrete you get a second life from your original post. Works out cheaper than concreting in a new post and repair is done in a few minutes (they hammer in really easily). Will be buying more for when more posts start to go - think these things could double the life of the fence.

I tried this on the front and back of a gate post, without much hope, but at least might keep the cows out until I could replace the post. Amazingly it works. I don't know how exactly, but a virtually snapped post is now strong and stable Very easy to install with a lump hammer, and saved me hours of work digging out a concrete post foundation.

BUILDVery solid. Since installing 12 of them none of my fences have come down! They're a simple design but have clever ribs on the inside designed to go into the concrete but not come out. You'll need a lump hammer to put them in and screws are extra however it's a fairly generic sized wood screw.USEI moved into a house where all the fence posts apparently belong to me and all of them were installed poorly. The concrete around the post was never angled away, so the rain water went into the posts and rotted them at the ground level. I lost one post and therefore panel every big storm. I've managed to save 6 posts meaning I didn't have to reinstall all fencing or posts, they just need putting back together. I've even put some in preemptively for posts about to snap and resurrected my friend's fencing. It's a genius idea for a common problem. The ideal set up is to put one post buddy on the outside and then another on the inside where the fence is connecting. This accounts for movent both ways. My fencing doesn't allow this so all of mine are opposite each other. This hasn't caused me any issues.EASEYou need your own lump hammer, screws and electric screw driver or similar. It takes a bit of going to get them in. Probably about 30-40 minutes to get two in, which is what's needed per post. You do need a bit of strength to keep lifting the hammer. The longer it takes to go in, the more secure your post will be. They were all painted with Ronseal and take paint well. If you don't paint them they're still fairly discreet.DRAWBACKSThe one drawback is that if your fence post has been completely bodged and there's nearly no concrete around the lower post, then this won't help. You won't really know that unless you dig to find out or you just start banging them in. I started by buying one and then found that there was enough concrete around the lower post for it to work just by how it feels. If it's just mud it offers no resistance. This is a minor drawback and no fault of the product.VALUEUndeniable value. This has saved me hundreds of not thousands of pounds and countless headache for a terribly installed fence which now stands on its own. I even have the weight of trellising on top (see photos).

Great idea, easy to install, held up wobbly fence panel. Let down by immediate rusting on tops and screw holes. So you will need to coat it once in place. I may have just had ine if bad batch

I purchased these after noticing the fence was swaying in the wind and wasn't actually sturdy. Upon closer inspection I noticed the bottom of the wooden posts were very rotten. I didn't want to go to the expense of replacing the fence though so looked at alternatives.Hammering and screwing these in was very straightforward. You do need to use a few heavy sturdy lump hammer. Screws weren't included so you'll need some 50x5mm ones handy. Fence doesn't feel as solid as it was before but overall I'm happy as it this was a much cheaper option and I've managed to eke out a few more years of my fence yet.
