- #DIYproject. #fencepole. How to fix your unleveled or leaning fence pole without replacing it which could be a labor intensive work. This will work with any types of fence pole.
Metal post was dugged in 2 feet and 8 feet on the surface. It's a total of 10 feet pole. The concrete below is much heavier. Requires a metal puller to remove it. By simply just fixing it, it will will save you money disposing, hauling, & purchasing a new one.
Cost:
$5.75 each Fast drying concrete from Lowes Store - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Thank you! DOING THIS RIGHT NOW! Had no clue how to begin. You're awesome!
Thank you so much!! I think this is what I need to do to secure my chain link fence posts!!
This was a good job you did. Smart and with the least effort and expense. You can be on my team anytime.
Great job dude. I just fixed my fence and posted a video.... my fence was only 1.5 months old when it started to lean.... noticeably
Thanks I'm going to try this
Helpful video. Thanks!!
Thanks for the video. It did the job of explaining how to level a sagging fence vertically,.. You did show the right tools and the the cement type. However, you did not mention which zone you are in and the depth you have to go. Overall good video.
Great job!
Now thats a privacy fence. My noisy neighbor would still look over that fence even if it was 12ft tall lol.
Thanks, kfor the information.
Supplies needed - croc sandals
Thank you..
Might as well remove the post and swap it out with a replacement. Go 3 ft instead of the usual 2. A brick or 2 or multipurpose granite and not use the quickset cement. But hey what do I know I despise using a shovel and I'm going to have fun replacing our side fence for the 1st in 32 years since purchasing our home.
My fence had less post as the person who loved didn't put hardly any post bit are joined by little wood on top on the joints my fence is leaning inward from the top and also part of its come off from the panel on bottom so not partley attached can you help how to do these two points thanks
The contractor accidently hit my fence pole when they were replacing the sewer line, and I need to do this. What side bags quickcrete are you using, and why three bags. Great video, and thanks.
I have same issue but leaning forward. can i follow same method without detaching bolts from rails? in other words exert pressure to plumb poles by adding 2x4 forms then add concrete. let me know what you think
Hi, you can do that as long as you have enough force to straighten the poles while the concrete is drying. Thanks
Got a letter from city! I have to do it asap. 5 poles leading at 30 degrees. How long did it take?
mine is old and only one pole is loose it's a 6ft pole that attach to my gates when i open the gates it's shaky so do i use 3 bags as well of Quickrete
I would dig around it to create a base and see how deep the existing cement then I would add the appropriate cement to stabilize it so the pole won’t move.
Looking to find out how to "easily" fix metal fence posts that have are rising. The original cement is above the ground. Is there a way to re-sink the post and cement without tearing it all out?
Hi, first find out what's causing your fence post to rise. Sometimes, it's being pulled away with the rest of the fence wood attached to it by wind or loose soil. Once it's free it may just slowly go down by itself. If not, you may need to dig and remove all the soil around it until it goes down to the level where you want it. Hope that helps.
I'm renewing our old fence w/new rails and pickets and came across 2 posts, which should be straightened (they have ~ 30 degree deviation fm/vertical. I digged around them same way you did, but about 12" deep, the second one even about 10", then added water to dig more next day, but to my surprise, I could move that 2nd post easily any way I want after that water added. So I straighten them both planning to add cement mixture and water, but then got stuck on the doubts if I need to add any cement in the holes. The posts are aluminum and the fence is pretty light (cedar, 6'). The original cement has practically perfect cylindrical shape, so for the future possible repairs it would be so much easier to deal with those perfect cylinders than the mines of irregular shape. So my question is: what will happen if I just surround those now straight posts (with existing cement cylinders on the bottom of them) with the soil (it is in Texas, soil type of clay)? Will it keep them straight, or it is absolutely necessary to remove the old cement, or at least to add some more new? Thank you for the great film, very informative.
Hi, if you are concern about the straight posts leaning due to the type of soil in Texas, you can certainly do that. Any type of reinforcement can help to keep the post straight, but it would be labor intensive if you attempt to remove the existing cement due to its weight. Reinforcing the cement maybe a better option with a better base support by widening the soil around it then pouring more cement. Hope this help.
@@simplyworks8818 Thank you. I straightened the poles and simply put dirt and water around in 2-3 steps, so it dried out. Everything is very stable probably bcs of the nature of the clay soil here. I put rails on one post already. I think it is better to keep the perfect cylinders how they are. I always can dig out same way I did (it is pretty easy here, the soil is soft) and add cement if there is a need. Thank you for your replay again.
Could also add additional galvanized posts beside the old post.
Is it straight if you put a level too it?
Yes. I added more poles to fix with the total of 25.
What would you charge per poll I have six to do as a handyman to replace the polls is right around $150.00 of hole average Dallas Texas
good idea not to pull it out. i tried it once it hurt my back.
What if it needed to go the other way? 😉
Anyone knows how to fix leaning fence that is installed between two concrete walk-way?
Concrete chipper
Be careful that drill is almost stripping those wood screws Chief & Your video is helpful, but I don't think my customers would want to see a high pile of concrete afterwards.
Hi, concrete is leveled with the soil. The concrete will eventually be covered by soil and grass. it will not be notice at all.
I dont think his name is Chief, and if you knew anything about power tools, it had a clutch on it
I bet that metal pole cost alot
~$22 at HD
This is helpful after watching the above video. Thank you.

I used that cement to install post for chain link and and is the worse product ever , after 24 hours I can pull out the post by hand ... I need the redo the kid with another cement ... time and money 🥵
That is really strange. So far, out of the 25 metal poles I worked on its holding very firmly especially with high winds. Did you follow the ratio mixture of water?
It's concrete not cement and you have the make a hole that is larger the farther you go down .
You need to mix the concrete and water before pouring.
Woodglut is a good solution for every woodworker.
