Shoring up fence with loose/rotten posts
I’ve got a fence that is 10 posts long, currently leaning (about 20cm at its worst) and flapping in wind. 5 of the posts are still very sturdy when force applied, the other 5 have varying degrees of wobble. Is there a way of fixing without digging out existing posts? I was wondering if I could put a few posts in on opposite side? After reading the costs of getting the posts replaced professionally (£150-250 each) I think it’s a fair bit out our budget just now. Any tips appreciated

"Hi, ideally you would want them replace to guarantee a strong fence. Depending on panels and post price will vary."

"Concrete repair spurs. These are dug in beside the damaged posts and you bolt the old post to the new concrete spur. Really good solid fix and not too expensive to do. Hope this helps. Jon."
