Can you show the video of you guys replacing that new post in 10 years? I want to see how big the next hole will be, assuming you can actually remove the concrete.
That is a lot of concrete! I'm in wet, clay English soil with horses that push at posts and scratch their big strong arses on the posts. My posts last a maximum of 5 years so I'm now using reinforced concrete spurs which don't rot. No wood in the ground. And way less concrete. One 20kg bag of fast set concrete per post. So far so good and I use a trenching spade and an auger to get a deep, solid plug, rather than have a massive block of concrete. This blokes fence repair is strong, but I wouldn't want to be the bloke pulling out the rotten fence post in 10 years.
Step 1: For a few months prior to starting the post removal, have your personal trainer work you up to being able to dead lift the front end of a car. Step 2: Following the instruction in the video, dead lift the half ton mass of concrete out of the post hole and toss it aside. Step 3: Complete the fence repair.
Lol, right!
And have a Heating Pad and an appointment with a Chiropractor!
This is funny. I noticed that too.
can rent an SDS or jackhammer if you prefer small pieces
😊😊😊😊
Ha, did I see the word 'easy' in the title? Did it right, but it ain't easy.
Took the words out of my mouth! LOL it simple-minded but nothing easy about the physical labor especially when you have to do the same thing to every post! Lol
Well I’d say it’s easy but need intense physical work especially while removing the old concrete. 👍
Can you do a video of the same thing but in a flower bed where there’s no room and you can’t damage any plants & shrubs & you haven’t got 24 hours for concrete to set because your boss is on your back..
I don’t think you used enough concrete. That only seems like 8 bags.

next up, how demolish a house with your bare hands
"Remove the old post. Now, carefully insert the new post in the exposed hole in the concrete" ....God, I wish he had said that!
...pity the poor sod who has to dig out that new concrete plug in the future. 2 barrows full!
3 barrows full :O
How many tons of concrete was that?!
This so much hahahahhaa, he put in more concrete than some people have on their fundation. Hell of a repairjob when the fence gets rotten or cracks holy fuck.
Small concrete patio he made 😂

I will try to do it with Woodglut plans.
The next person to have to replace that post is going to have ever so much fun.
Three barrows of crete? That's a big ass post-hole!
You made it look easy, because you are a beast of a man !!! Not very many average guys could do that!!!!
Thank you for your video! Another reason for leaning post is using improperly aged wood. As the wood shrinks, it creates a space between post and concrete. I have also read that one should finish up by caulking around post to prevent water from seeping in.
never enuff concrete
I love it, but no way I can do this! 🤪 plus my fence has garden beds next to it for another 60-70cm and then it’s concrete, so step one and I’m lost 😭😭😭😭
We believe in you!! ^Cam
I did a fence post replacement today after watching this video last night. Thank you for posting (no pun intended!) it! I'm really liking these Mitre 10 vids!
Excellent video - far better than those Bunnings ones.
I'm not sure what the building code is where the guy in the video lives but In Canada, Ontario that post has to be 4 feet buried in the ground below frost level. Basically this job is on hard mode of you're in Canada 😂
Video made in New Zealand where we don't worry about frost levels in the ground
I pity the person who has to take that post out ... 200 lbs of concrete
Matt Crocker was thinking the same when he put the 3rd wheel barrel lol
Matt Crocker one bag per post and LITTLE gravel at Bottoms for drainage. going need jack Hammer and dump truck lol.
the one bag rule is why the fences lean in the first place, but it could have been a bit deeper. A fence that tall is putting a ton of force on the footing, that much concrete is the minimum to be frank. He hit solid volcanic rock which is why he stopped, otherwise the rule of thumb is 1/3 of the post length should be under ground.
i agree, fuck all that shit, just pay him or somebody else to do it.
Matt Crocker b
Looked at loads video's on this topic and this is the best!

great job - How to fex a linning fince ;)
Concrete wasn't sloped to allow water too drain away from the post.
Shuddup...
yea their screwed now
Hella lota cement! That fence will withstand tornadoes, tsunamis, and hurricanes! Wow! Impressive how superior your work is to 99.9% of all people.
this is common in new zealand as we get massive earth quakes, plaques and inter tribal wars, our maori guys averge 6ft 9 weighing 25 stone and could kick in a fence like that if it werent for the 10 barrel loads of concrete
I used to hate those drills.. until I used one. Saves the wrist from tweaking out. Lol
Now we can put a shrimp on the Barbie.
Mark Katz no you can't ..he's a kiwi !
Oi mate
rightio
Is there an app I can put on my phone that will do this for me?
Soon as I heard the word remove the post I thought fk that.. the whole fence will fall over no thank you..jeez that fence post whole I could put my wife in that and put the post in
?))(**&^/$#@!t
Love channel and knowledge, but I am in Canada and I have an infestation of Kiwis in my back yard ??? I know, heard it a million times.... Keep it up, cool channel.
i do not want to remove that pole afterwards god 3 barrels of concrete
Is it just me or was there absolutely nothing wrong with that fence post? I mean, if it was loose, you could have just added a metal shim that plows right down between the wood and concrete. Or if you really like pouring concrete you could brace the post and pour in filler. Even easier, use the new type of foam filler that really gets into small spaces. But, I guess this method does look better for the lady folk.
EDIT: If you want something done right....this is the guy.
Too much concrete sir
Sajid Rafique forfucksaked Mr know it all
Shut your fucking mouth bitch.
The root? Getting rid of the root in that one location doesn't seem like it's going to solve the problem. Won't it just grow back and cause the new post to lean again?
Watch again; they cut the offending tree down before straightening the fence. Presumably it's the type of tree that won't grow back when cut at ground level.
Thank you missed that 👌
Thank you for the excellent video and the amazing voice. Why is it that the Australian accent is so soothing?
We're from New Zealand, but Australians are our neighbours so we do sound similar sometimes! ^Cam
Awesome vid bro.
good wood drills/skills....yes....good concrete ..nooooo far to wet..this wet mix will split very soon...`water equals weak`......
Now, 6 more posts to do before suppa'!
Great video, I am also a carpenter by trade, I would suggest much deeper 600mm at least, only needs to be 350mm square or round , also I barrow of concrete if not less will fill the hole and will never move .... Just my thoughts
He said he hit solid volcanic rock
We generally dig our posts for fences 4-500mm, depends how long your arms are to drag out the sub grade, here in NZ its generally volcanic rock or river bed, a biitch to dig a hole 🙆♂️
very good
Rightio!
As usual Stan gives excellent advice in a step by step procedure!! Great video.

So many google carpenters in the comments section.
I’m making a list for what is needed when I go fix mine. So for concrete I have 12 bags needed for each post. Is that about right? Lol
Just one bag and heavily putting earth underneath works just as well and is better to repair lol.
Best to use anchors in concrete and bolt posts to anchors.
I had some jerks set posts in a meter down, one took 2 hours to pull.
hahahaha
sux 4 u
"Righty-O"
cheers mate
the fence is leaning about 3 inches. there’s no way to fix it without cutting out the entire post? why yes, yes there is!!
That is what I think. I would never have cut out that fricking post, and then pull out the concrete too? That would take me a month. I had a fence that was being pushed around all over the place. The fence looked like a wave. I hammered in some metal pipe into the ground at a 45 degree angle going away from the fence, and the put a chain or rope, and used a Come-Along to pull the fence back in place, and just let that stay like that for about a month or two, and also over compensate a little bit so when you remove the tension it will end up being perfect vertical. I think this is the way a contractor would fix a fence if the client were an older woman with her man's checkbook.
Just stand next to fence with your hand on it, job done .
Lol! Did I hear saber saw? I love how different parts of the world have different names for their tools. Love the video!
in USA they are often referred to as a sawzall, as it saws all things with the right blade
Honestly, i laughed when he called the Peg a Pig, and the lag a 'tick screw'. NZ Naming is much more fun.
...and also when he said "now we clean all the rubbish in the hole" lol
HELP
I have a corrugated iron fence the rails are munted I've started on the top one BUT how can I pull in the Iron to the timber without access to the neighbors' property on the bottom rails? Should I just use a construction glue that binds wood to metal and hope for the best????
But as above I'd like to pull the iron in on the bottom rails.
Hey, that sounds like a bit of a mission! If you can't get onto the neighbor's side, maybe try using screws with wide washers to pull the iron back to the timber. Start at the top and work your way down. Another option is using tension straps from your side to pull the sheets in. Construction adhesive could help as a backup, but you'd want to use screws as well for a more solid fix. ^Cam

That prop thing at 5:40 looks good to me.... Done!!!😁
Australians nick name is Aussie-- what are New Zealanders called?
Kiwi’s
Do the screws go in anti clockwise down under?
Robert Muszynski nope same as clock
This is filmed in New Zealand, not Australia.
Kay H, you missed the joke
@@Warhorse469 New Zealand is even more south than Australia.
What kind of screw is that at 00:50? 10-gauge *something* screw
WenceOG tick screw? I couldn't believe he bashed that pig into the ground.
Tek screw
Didn't know he was wearing braces😄
far from easy, but thanks for the steps
I came to this video to help sort my post and fence out, as a petite woman standing at 5ft 4 - God help me! 😂
We hope you get it sorted, sounds like a tough one! ^Cam
Is it just me or does Jimmy Hoffa come to mind
Errr I’m renting, I think I’ll just reinforce the fence instead. Sick of things like being charged more rent for spending money & effort on improving the place.
I NEVER use concrete. Waste of money, waste of time. Also, never had a post lean in the natural grade.
You want the concrete higher than the ground so that the water will not set next to the wood post. That's why you see the foundation to your house is always 6 inch's above the ground. The concrete should be around one and a half to two inch above the ground. ( concrete guy with 30 years experience, still learning)
How do you handle unreasonable clients that want it below grade though?
@@Mr.Pop0 I'd use posts with preservatives and wrapped with sheet metal a couple inches above ground level. Note: using redwood posts will not work because you need 100 year growth or more. Younger redwood will still rot.
Sheet metal I'm refering to galvanised tin that comes in rolls used on roof flashing
You can advise .If they don't take notice do what they want.
Stan the man always watch his videos

John Pa'a Zcm was jjj
Nothing easy about this especially if you dont have any of the equipment 🤣, but great work done the right way.
No short cuts here people.should be called how much work and time will it take to do a proper fence repair The no short cut version
This is easy??
Nice video mate! Like your steps and accent. This is a 2 or 3 person job, I did it in the summer. Breaking concrete base and digging out is no joke. We do not see all this, agree with others saying nothing easy here!😁 Agree with all steps- we used to break up concrete and push back - wedge in and pour fresh. Depends on hole and post width! RIGHT T OH!
rrrr not in NZ mate
@@fatherdougalmcguire9129
Good to hear that! If you have the skills, strength and experience - yes, one guy can do it.
10 inch what screws? lol
any video showing leaning colorbond fence?
Great suggestion! We'll pass this onto the team! ^Cam
And don't forget NOT to wear gloves
Gloves are for girls 🤣
Why worry about small details when the rest of the fence is all over the place anyway?
stanley so strong lifting that mass of concrete in a millisecond
Good video Mate!!
Cool job mate, Even I am doing something similar :)
What’s the dimensions of those posts?
Likely 100x100mm rough sawn (4×4")
4 INCH by 4 INCHES
Proper Job! ✅
Beautiful work very thoroughly done. Thank you I've learnt so much.
Doesn't he mean 300mm (11.8") on a side? An area of 300mm² would be 17 mm on a side.
I think he meant 300mmx300m which is not the same as 300 sq-mm. In Canada is just a round circle of 1ft (~300mm) in diametre.
One problem with my fence is that the metal posts are somewhat crooked. Is there any way for me to adjust them without digging them all up and resetting them? Cus I dont think there is...
My neighbor place lots of boulders on my fence, it's now leaning inwards. Would concrete blocks hold up the fence from leaning in wards?
Hiya Nanci, hard to say without seeing the fence ourselves but please feel free to reach out to us directly or in store and we'd be more than happy to help ^Nathan
lot of concrete
I’m living in the US now but always look to the Mitre 10 series for DIY stuff. They don’t even use concrete in their fence post holes over here! 🙄
Cheers Robert!
ok so you hit volcanic rock, that stuff is HARD i give you that but. you widened the hole lengthwise with the rest of the fence (which it is plenty supported in that direction of axis) instead of width wise which in my opinion would stabilize it from future leaning in the direction is was originaly going, Not only that now its going to prematurely rot due to said concret boot as water works its way in and drys out the wood is going to quickly deteriorate and now your going to have to fix is soon enough again and its now in three bags worth of concrete. gosh damn bandaid repair let alone building "experts", should look into longer ladting wood post protection like Plasti-Sleeve or post protector sleeves or use a roll on liner like Rhino lining for one example around the buried portion of post leaving the base uncoated to let the water drain naturally, such added protection will double or more its useful life in the ground and much less maintenance issues for the owner for those years to come.
Agree on the orientation of the widened hole.
Si
Now that is the correct way to do it. Nice job !!
What your not using DEWALT !!! shame on you LOL
Strong little guy, wow
USE SONO TUBES AND LEAVE 3 INCHES ABOVE GRADE...THIS WAY THE 4X4'S NEVER ROT,
Use H5 treated timber and the post wont rot regradless
Awesome accent bro!!
Hi Stan great video (as all Ive seen are) where do you get ur nail bags or Penny as u Kiwis refer to them? J V "Nick" Nichols,DC1,USCG,(Ret)
where do we get 1 of those Sabre saws from
They can be bought at almost any place that sells power tools. Also known as a reciprocating saw.
crabs
crabs
also refered to as sawzall because it saws all and a pretty common tool like a circular saw
TeToruFarms awww.
Thanks very helpful.
h~
WAT
kee ripes thats alot of concrete lol rightyo!
I guess that means 300 cm2 - 3:56
looks like was not deep enough also here in North it's 3 feet.
Pretty hot and tropical there year round so not much frost line but still, as he said though he hit volcanic rock and that is tough stuff to crack, but he should have widen the hole the other way to prevent future leaning in the one axis
One third is the general rule here, but it's not worth blasting volcanic rock to put in a fence post so he went wide instead.
This guy made it look like a walk in the park
Thank you for sharing!
A world without tec screws is a world I do not want to live in! Haha
