Even a great-looking fence in good condition can start leaning over time. Usually the culprit is wood decay at the base of a 4×4 post.
Wind, water damage and everyday wear-and-tear can leave you with a dilapidated-looking fence. It doesn’t look like an inviting home improvement project, however, it may be a simpler fix than you think. Check out the Postup Fence Post Repair Kit…
In fact, you may be able to repair your fence in under 30 minutes for less than $75. (How’s that, compared to the cost of replacing an entire fence, right?)
Why are Postup Stakes Better for Repairing Fence Posts?
Postup fence stakes offer a convenient (and cheap) alternative to fixing a leaning fence. There’s no need to tear out the whole fence or even call up the local handyman. You can do this yourself. =)
Note: In addition to saving you time and money, I like this cheap fence fix better than many other options because it doesn’t make a mess.
For example, you don’t have to tear out the existing concrete or fence panels. Plus, this method doesn’t disturb neighboring landscape plants.
How to Repair a Leaning Fence with Postup Stakes:
This Postup Fence Post Repair Kit takes an otherwise costly and time-consuming home improvement project and makes it cheap and easy. Plus, you don’t have to know anything about fixing fences. =)
The video below demonstrates how the process works:
1. Prepare Your Project Space:
First of all, start by clearing leaves, excess dirt, rocks and debris away from your leaning fence post. Basically, you want the concrete footing to be visible.
2. Set You Leaning Fence Post in the Upright Position
Second, straighten the leaning fence post to stand completely upright. Then, secure it in place with a stationary brace, like a sturdy 2×4.
3. Hammer the Postup into Place
Third, you want to start driving the metal Postup brace into the ground using a sledge hammer. Insert the pointed nose end of the brace up against the fence post and start hammering.
4. Attach the Metal Bracket to Your Fence Post
Fourth, when the angled edge of the Postup lies right at ground/concrete level, you want to secure the hardware to the fence post. Drill through the Postup holes into the post and affix lag screws.
