You saved my life. I bought five of these galvanized posts, 10 strong-ties, seven bags of quikcrete (messed up the position of the first post twice and had to redo), screws, post-hole diggers, and a pile-driver for a little under 200 bucks and fixed half of my blown-over fence. The original wooden posts were completely rotten and heavy winds blew five panels down onto my neighbor's yard and I didn't have the money to have the entire fence replaced. The panels were still in good condition so the fence looks as good as ever and so much anxiety lifted off my shoulders.

I've watched every fence-straightening video on youtube and I'm going with this.

Hello This message is 2yrs coming! I passed your video on to my husband and his assistant in 2021. They were successfully able to straighten our extremely leaning fence following your instructions in this video! What's important is our fence was straightened in 2021 this is 2023 & it has remained straight 2yrs later. Also we that we live in Manitoba Canada🇨🇦🤗 So we've had 2 springs, falls 🤗& winters of constant heavy freeze-thaws & our fence hasn't moved! Still tall and straight! We'd like to thank you so much for your time and advise when you recorded and shared this video on YouTube! That's how I found you by searching on YouTube! It was relatively easy they just followed your instructions completely & were very successful. It took a total of approximately 2weeks total, working every other evening and working the 2 Saturdays & it was done! Had to allow time for the concrete to set around the metal posts. Concrete was chosen due to our extreme weather. They held the fence straight with our riding mower till concrete & metal posts were set. Our yard is 100ft by 120ft. So I'd say 2 men working part-time over a 2 week span did really good! Oh did I mention that both men were amateurs! 1st time straightening a fence & they had an easy time following your video! Thank you🤗🫂💞Thank👍you👋Thank you 🤗💞🫂👍🇨🇦👋

Hello Mr Lee. My name is Alex and I am 19 years old i have just started my own handyman business and I have been doing much better using the steps and advice You have given in your videos. You have helped me more than I could have ever imagined. Thank you for all your honest help.

This is a very sensible solution for a fence specially if the neighbour do not like to share the cost of replacing the fence and don’t like to share maintaining the fence.

Thank you so much for this video @Handyman Journey. I too fixed my fence today myself with the assistance of your awesome video. I am a female (this is my husbands YouTube acct I use) and I am so so so proud of myself. All with your knowledge and willingness to share with us.

Great video. You saved my wife and I a great deal of work and frustration. Much thanks!

Thank you for this! Mine is leaning really bad into the neighbors parking lot and if it falls not only will my dog get out but their car will be hit. My landlord is “fixing it” which means they came to look at it once and never came back, so I’m going to have to do it on my own. You have no idea how wonderful videos like these are me being a woman alone no one taught me these and I don’t have a lot of ppl to ask.

Just found out I have to replace fence post and I wanted to thank you for this video. I had no idea what I was going to do to fix it.

Great Job Mr 💪 Lee. That's adding huge value into customers eyes. Shooting for that longevity shows you care for the customer only adds up to repeat 😉 clients!!!

I like the idea instead of a large concrete hole dig a smaller one and drive the post down into it. I can only suggest, that if the soil permits you to drive the post further to take advantage of the extra strength you would get. I would drive it down until just above the upper 2 x 4 leaving room for your reinforcement above it. Thanks for the great video.

Over here. We dig down about 2 ft. Pour gravel. Place fence post on. Pour concrete. Once set (10 mins) we get concrete and create an oval so water runs off. 20+ years with 100mph winds 😊

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar… Thanks for the idea!

love this idea, more expensive than wooden posts for my poor pocketbook but easier and less intrusive

Fantastic! Don’t know why I didn’t think of that…BUT I AM VERY GLAD THAT YOU DID. Thank you!

Instead mixing concrete, put the dry mix in the hole and add water. It won't be high strength concrete but it will be more than strong enough for this purpose.

Great job repairing the fence! Well done!

Man what a great idea. I had a part of my fence blow down last year and had a hell of a time replacing the post, just had more of the fence break from some wind over the weekend and I'm definitely going with your method to get it back up.
