David · Answer

It’s possible depending on the ground, some digging will be needed as well as new concrete pored.
It may be quicker and achieve a better result of the fence I’d reset probably.

Dave · Answer

Yes , dig a trench on opposite side to the lean . Push or pull till upright . Then add concrete in void and compact area around post.

Darren · Answer

Sorry to say  I would personally dig around the old leaning post  remove all concrete and re set it back in  if post is cracked I would replace with a new one  hope this helps

Harley · Answer

In some cases yes but it depends on the severity of how badly bent and if the concrete is servly cracked

William · Answer

Yes, a leaning concrete fence post can often be straightened without fully digging it out, particularly for minor movement, by using methods like supporting with concrete spurs, bracing, and adding new concrete or gravel. Common techniques include driving a steel stake or concrete repair spur next to the post

If the fence is sound, I’d go simple: timber gravel boards or a treated kick board fixed along the bottom are tidy, cheap-ish and DIY-friendly.

If it’s just small gaps and mainly for the dog, wire mesh/hardware cloth stapled to the lower part of the fence and pinned into the ground is an easy low-mess fix.

For the cheapest fix of all, fill low spots with soil and plant edging can work if the gaps are uneven. I’d probably do a kick board.

Unfortunately in most of cases it will have to be dug out to some degree.
