I’m guessing these post weren’t set in concrete? Fixing a wobbly post in old concrete a harder job. However if these worked on concrete set posts I’d buy some!

@diyjunkiehq Год назад

It has been a while, so I cannot remember whether these posts were set in concrete or not. Since each of these brackets does not cost much, you might want to buy one piece to give it a try.

@robertgill448 Год назад

Post a link on where to purchase these e z menders please.

amzn.to/42nd06J it is also in the description box below the video including tools that you may need for the job. thank you for watching.

I see these at Lowe’s for around $28.00 so if you use two you’re at around &60.00 you should just replace the post and fix it right this is just a band-Aid. It won’t last..

@diyjunkiehq Год назад

I think inflation made the price triple. Of course, it would be much much better to re-do the whole thing properly as a professional builder would, if you have the skill and time. As a DIY, I find it worked for me. It has been 5 years now, and the entire fence is still very sturdy. At least it withstood the time better than my knee which is getting weaker and weaker over the last 5 years!🤣

Home Depot has them for $17.48 each, ($35 per PAIR), and "Buy 12 or more $16.61 (2024-02-24). Maybe $28 is Lowe's sale price, for a pair?

I agree,4x4 is like $10

@randomcomment3865 3 месяца назад

@@joehiatt1992big advantage of these is speed and ease - no need to disassemble the fence, or dig the old post bottom out of the concrete. But that only applies where the post has two clear and opposite sides. The fence posts I need to reinforce only have one side free, the far side being covered by fence panels, then the left and right side have laterals in the way.

@mrsnicks6105 Год назад

I have wobbly fence posts, but they were set in concrete and have rotted at the ground line.. I doubt this would help.

@diyjunkiehq Год назад

I doubt it would work into the concrete footing, but the best way to test it is to just buy one piece and try it out see whether it could penetrate into the concrete footing or not. It does not cost much.

@MH-gy6qv Год назад

I recently replaced posts that were rotted set in concrete. If the post portion in the concrete isn't too bad, you can drill a hole in the center, install an eyelet, then pull the post out with a come along. I wasn't so lucky, so I bought a 16" long 3/4" wood spade bit and drilled out a bunch of holes and then broke the wood up with a crowbar. Got about 14-16" of the old rotted post out and hammered a new post into the concrete hole. There was a little wobble at first still, but once the fence got tied all back together it feels pretty solid.

@@diyjunkiehq I just installed 4 of these on cedar posts that had broke off at the ground 2 of them were still standing connected to the fence. The other 2 were blown out along with the fence. They do do into the concrete partially because my posts were rough cedar and a little over the 3 1/2 planed ones but I will admit you wouldn’t get them in the ground with the little sledge used on this video. I used a 10lb long handle and it goes hard on the metal cut in the lower part of the bracket you would never get it to work by hitting in a board held over the top. Mine got very stable with just one I did put the flat bar type made by another company on the back where i had access without taking off the fence

@@Ljw48 I am so glad that it worked for you, I hope the DIY saved you some money.

@joehiatt1992 3 месяца назад

This only works if u didnt use concrete ,otherwise this wont go down deep enuff b4 it hits the old concrete, also these things cost alot more than a 4x4,better off doing it the right way

@harrisond8132 Год назад

Just beware, these will not work if your posts are true 4 x 4s. The inside dimension is only 3-1/2".

@diyjunkiehq Год назад

Thank you so very much, this is good info to know, and I will update it in the description box.

@randomcomment3865 3 месяца назад

@@diyjunkiehq that's good to know, thanks. The Home Depot description does say "for 4x4 Nominal" but, without your comment, I wouldn't have thought to check post actual dimensions. FYI current Home Depot pricing: $17.48 each, ($35 per PAIR), and "Buy 12 or more $16.61.

@@diyjunkiehqThanks for the video! It pays to both shop around AND take a screen shot, for when you go to the store, because online and in store prices don't always match.

you are absolutely right about that.@@randomcomment3865
