POWERRRRRR MAN OF MANY TALENTS FRRR

I have a old fence up for about 15 years with the fence posts started rotting instead of getting the posts out is there anything I can use to keep them in the ground strong for the moment until I get some new fence posts when I can

Why bother taking the posts out, putting new wooden posts in that are going to rot. What you need to do is make some concrete posts that are reinforced with steel angle with 2 tubes welded to take a 12 mm bolt, set about 12" apart. Dig the hole out on your side, removing half the concrete round the post such that your concrete post will fit flush to the wooden post. The concrete post needs to 7' long. Dig down to clay which may be 3' down, drop in concrete post hammer in the hole some of the old concrete. Drill through the tubes in the concrete post into the existing wooden post, using bolts long enough to pass through the concrete post and wooden post plus sufficient to add a 12mm nut plus 2 threads, two large 12mm washers (one either side), or half inch if you haven't come into the modern world. Tighten the nuts on the bolts, the nuts being on your side of the fence ( you will need access to the neighbours garden if they are 6' panels) , but see no reason not to have 3' high panels. Mix up some sand, cemnt powder and gravel and fill the hole adding hardcore and puddling it down as you add more.I have got a fence post I fitted like this 30 years ago is still standing as the force of the wind is taken on the concrete post., not the wood post. If the wooden pots rots at ground level which they do the wooden post is held by the concrete post. Note the position at which the force of the wind actually concentrates is 2/3 from the ground to the top of the fence. So for a 6' fence it acts at 4', so your concrete post should be long enough to accomodate this.Any wooden post tops should be covered with a wooden cap screwed into the top of the post, this stops the rain soacking into the centre of the post and rotting it. The post and fence then painted with old engine oil and creocote or creosote both sides. If done in the summer whilst dry the wood will suck the oil in, itvwill act as a preservative and a waterproofing agent. I never use postcrete, its too soft and you don't know if its mixed correctly at the botton or anywhere else. Too much water and the mix is weak, not enough and and its still dry, so doing nothing.Why yanks have to use power tools instead of hand tools I don't know. Use hand tools and keep the lard off.
