How to Fix a Broken Fence Post in Under 30 Minutes

Have a leaning fence or a broken fence post? In this video, you'll learn how to repair a broken wood fence post WITHOUT having to dig up any concrete or having to replace the existing fence post.

I'll show you how to use an EZ-Mender metal fence repair bracket (here's the link: amzn.to/4mE0ppd) to easily fix your fence in under 30 minutes, from start to finish.

This repair would typically be done on a backyard wooden privacy fence, usually constructed from Redwood or Cedar.

This is a common repair, because the wood fence posts tend to rot at the base of the fence where they sit in the concrete footing. Once the fence post is rotted, it will blow over easily in the wind.

Ideally, you'll notice your fence post is broken before the fence blows over, and you can tell if it's broken if it is wobbly.

This repair can be completed by any DIYer with common hand tools, including:

Sledge hammer
3lb sledgehammer
Framers hammer
Cordless Drill/Screw Gun
Wood Saw

First, remove the fence boards around the post. Then, detach the rails of the fence from the post. Next, hammer the EZ mender directly into the concrete footing and attach the post with screws. Reassemble the fence and you're all set!
