Fence repair advice

clodola

Any suggestions on repairing a fence with rotten posts , above ground sections are in good condition

I want to keep it looking as is , completely replacing is too costly, 60 metres in length

Was thinking using a galvanised stake with a 75mm X 75mm post (Drive the post support into the ground with a sledge hammer), bolt it through the existing post , not sure if I could retro fit a durapost but would involve a concrete

Any suggestions on how to tackle

That's a substantial fence in parts, maybe 1.8m or so in height, couldn't see those post spikes standing up to a good gust of wind with that fence design. It may be possible to take down the fence panels and re use, with new treated timber posts set in concrete.

As above take it down and re-use but set 2inch box iron in concrete rather than timber.

If you're lucky your posts will not be set in concrete.

the 1.2 mtrs spurs for the high part and use postcrete rapid setting -one bag per hole.

This lad uses coach screws , I prefer coach bolts through the post.

While you're at it either lift the fence off the ground or else drop the ground along the base of the fence.

Have you come across anywhere in Ireland that sells the concrete repair spurs ?

All I can find is B&Q
