I had two 80 lb concrete mix into a fence hole and years later I had no idea how hard it was to dig it out. Dig all around the concrete then try to roll it out but falls right back into the hole again and again. I was that Greek mythology Sisyphus as punishment for the day, must be something said to the wife.
If you keep using the metal pole and work the concrete down you are pushing all the stone to the bottom and all the weaker soupy concrete will be on top and will crack easy.
@@HsingSun did you pour concrete higher than ground level? Its tricky, but I think it's worth it, also, you can paint concrete whatever color it people think it looks hideous. Anyways. Good day
Best option, replace all those posts and just use galvanized steel posts. Would never waste my time wrapping wood posts in steel. Cheaper and faster option if you aren't replacing them all, just buy new wood posts and properly treat and set in concrete. Those old posts posts will still rot as water runs down the seam and the inside edge, and that wrapping wont be attached to anything. Don't get it. And because you left concrete below grade/top of soil, water will pool around post. As another pointed out, you forced aggregate to bottom, concreate will crack. You are going to be disappointed.
Putting new wood posts in concrete is not the right thing to do ,nowadays ! After doing it for 30 plus years with little problems with rot , its now said to set your wood post on an above grade cement piering attached with triple galv bracket ! I started putting heavy plastic bags over my posts before I filled with concrete mix ! To keep water from post . I see they have sleeves now that slide over the post ! Every couple years they tell you something different !
@@gregr1672 Never tried the brackets. Assume they are fine. Agree putting wood in concrete is bad choice. I prefer galvanized u-shaped posts because they attach all the way up. Can't see them once planks are attached either.. Both options mean future replacement is easy.
I've see some of the same repairs on The Tube, but yours has got to be the most effective Rob.. Ingenious!!
Impressive fence support fabrication!! Good job man!!
Good Work..... Love your Dogs they are so sweet.
You could start selling those supports. Brilliant. Scotland here.
I enjoy manual labor. I could watch it all day.
Awesome job Rob!!!

That's what I use my engine crane is for.

@Kube Dog Is Back Just looked at your video channel & it says "No Content" yet you make stupid,childishly smug comments, Grow up.
@Kube Dog Is Back you prolly couldn’t even replace the whole beam yourself
How dis you build those brackets 🤔
You are like my labour ,you are digging up 😂
I wonder what he’s listening to on those headphones ?
This is how I imagine myself repairing my broken fence posts. Then with no tools, a mild wind and a £10 spike I start allover again! 🤔
The posts always rot out because the concrete is poured below soil level, wood deteriorates in soil. Also weed eaters beat up on deteriorated posts.
Termites etc.
That is why I installed all metal posts for my fence.

I dont think that fence post is going anywhere now...
Next time I do this I’m going to get a dog…
good job. Next Clean your gutters... :)
Could’ve replaced the post by now and had it put back together
This repair will out last any new post.
How the dogs
Now work on your lawn mate😁

This repair does not work for cemented posts.
Wood posts 4x4 are cheap, nut not last.
Nice job!
