Very straightforward. I have a small dented top rail section- that's all, everything else just needs to be re-attched- and had been getting estimates of upwards of $400 for an easy fix, under a half hour. From watching this, pretty sure I can handle it. Thanks.
Hello, I’d like to ask for your advice. I have a fence with 19 terminal posts in a straight line. The terminal posts are 2-3/8” inches and 6ft tall above the ground. They are embedded 24 inches down in concrete. Approximately 15 of these posts are not plumb. They are slightly not level. Approximately 5 degrees off. I have a top rail going. I have also a top rail bar that is tension banded between all of these posts. My worry is that over time the terminal posts will continue to tilt. Should I correct them now or is it not worth the effort? What kind of lifespan can I expect if they are going to continue to tilt? Thank you in advanced.
I don’t personally think it’s worth the effort, is it noticeable when you look at it or is it only noticeable when you put a level up to it? 15 posts in concrete 24 inches down would be an absolute biatch to deal with. It’s a chain link fence not exactly the most beautiful thing in the world.
doesn't need to be that specific, just something strong enough to hold it in place. you can use a zip tie if you want, but any wire with tensile strength of something like a wire hangar will work.
Depending on where you live, the ground water will set the concrete so you don’t need to add much water. He just did enough to get the process started.
if youre going to all this trouble, get a rake and a wheelbarrow and mix that concrete correctly, you literally only saved 10 mins not mixing it and that set is not even close to sufficient...

What wire did you use to tie it on the top?

Thanks! This is what I needed. However, how do you know how much water to add? That didn’t seem like enough to me but how can you tell it is?

Interesting...
post hole 2ft below ,,,, 😎
That house had no footer.
Okay, so now ya got yourself a mismatched fence heights and a post with just a large shallow concrete plate with holes in it.
it just works ™

Not what the directions say on the bag. He did it right
