I just used 2 of the stakes to repair a fence post that had rotted off. In the past I had spent most of a day digging the old post out, breaking concrete with a jack hammer. Then I had to put it all back together with new concrete. Very time consuming and it took a lot of energy. These stakes only took about 10 minutes per side to install. Not very much work and the post will probably be good for a while.

So easy to use. The post I repaired was actually broken completely off from the cement. I used three of these to secure it back on. I’m 66 years old. The thought of having to dig another hole, and mix cement and replace the entire section made me tired! These worked perfectly and were super easy to do. And I did it by my self. Don’t know how long they will hold but it’s good for now and very sturdy. I live in the panhandle of Texas and we are expecting 80 mile an hour gusts today. So let’s see how this stands up!

As always, depends on your specific situation, i.e. was concrete poured as a "cup" under post, is there even concrete, how rotten is the post below grade, etc. etc.Is it perfect? No, still some flex with the posts, but it straightened 2 posts that were leaning several inches over, and pulling rest of fence with them, and has since withstood strong wind and rain.I had 2 posts, one with a concrete collar, the other in dense, clay soil, and this worked in both situations. The posts were not completely rotten once you went deeper. Often times posts only rot at ground level, or just below.In a different situation, and post was in better shape, I used 12 guage simpson wood straps (12-16 inches long), and they worked well. But the Post Buddy with the ridges, did drive deeper and bite better. The simpson straps were too short and didn't get below the rotten wood for the worst posts.Also, when you drive in the Post Buddy's , they end up somewhat "v"ed out at the top, i.e. an inch or so separated from the post on both sides, so when you screw them into the post, there is tension. This tension helped to pull the post back to vertical. Tip, drive in the Post Buddy on the side that the post is leaning >away

I tried this on the front and back of a gate post, without much hope, but at least might keep the cows out until I could replace the post. Amazingly it works. I don't know how exactly, but a virtually snapped post is now strong and stable Very easy to install with a lump hammer, and saved me hours of work digging out a concrete post foundation.

I was shocked that this product works. I had a wobbly fence post and thought I’d give this a try. I used all 4 stakes on a single post and it is rock solid stable! Would definitely recommend.

I could not hammer them between the post and concrete as advertised.

I saw a few testimonials on YT about this product so I decided to try it. The YT videos makes it look like it is easy to install between the post and the concrete that support the post. My experience is that it was quite difficult. I am a man that is very active BTW. So for me to say that it was a lot more difficult that what was portrayed in the vids, buyer beware.The pounding from my 4 lb sledge hammer also dented the top part of the 'stake'. Goes to show how hard I had to pound them in to get them to submerge to the maximum mark required as per instructions.

This works very well to support fence posts that are broken or almost broken below ground level and for supporting wobbly posts. Unlike some reviewers have said, the steel is very strong (it is designed to bend a little because that it how to get it in properly). However it requires a concrete base on the fence post. Once you hammer it in solidly along the post behind the concrete base, and screw it into the fence post above ground, it is very effective at supporting the post. The concrete post base below ground is what holds it in place below ground and makes it all work. If you do not have a strong base, it may not work well.

I was little skeptical, but the steel is thicker than I expected and seems to work well. The top of the concrete was lower than the ground so the post rotted. I added 2 braces and build up the concrete to be above ground to prevent further deterioration. Some posts were not as bad, so I added 1 brace to the front and added concrete.Time will tell if this works. 2 of the posts are too far gone and I will do a proper replacement pulling the concrete up,.installing new post and concrete.If the posts are not too far gone, this system should work.I was also surprised that it was not that hard to hammer the brace in, I used only a regular hammer.

Tropical Storm Hillary snapped a couple of my fence posts with a gust of wind. I was hoping to get another 10 years out of that fence. I just replaced all of the bad frame boards this year. The fence is 18 years old. It was constructed properly with a concrete curbing that was rounded at the top to prevent water from rotting the posts and a foot of gravel at the base of the post hole below the concrete. One of the posts was clearly rotted below grade, bad neighbors through the years have watered the fence with their lawn????? The other post simply snapped like a twig in the wind. Drilling and digging the wood out of a post hole in concrete is a lot of work. It would take me the better part of a day to replace just one post so you can imagine how happy I am to have found the Post Buddy product. I repaired both posts in about an hour. The post that simply snapped took longer to drive the Post Buddies in with the 2.5# hammer. A 4# would have been better. I was only able to drive them just deeper than the ribs. The post is very solid. I expect this repair to last many years. The post with rot subgrade was easier to drive the post buddies home. It is also solid for now but it remains to see how long the wood down in the hole will hold?I love this product and I highly recommend them.

Hubby used these to secure a fence post that had broken below ground level. He dug down and added fresh concrete first as somehow there wasn’t any, at least in the first 18”, then when it dried he installed the Post Buddy repair kit. Nice solid post now, no more wobbling! Would recommend. He said it was easy to do.

I've used these twice now. Once the post was actually rotted completely away and rails, etc. were keeping it in place over the hole/remainder of post. It worked pretty well, considering the post is literally broken. I would suggest using these BEFORE your posts get to that state...These rely on the post having shrunk away from the concrete ball...Because they are made to drive into that space...If your post hasn't shrunk and the ball itself is loose in the hole, then these won't help..These are nicely made and super handy to use and safe as even the tips are blunted/squared off. Holes are a tad small if you want to use GRK cabinet screws or RSS screws, which are popular, and a step up in strength from standard deck screws...Of course, you can also use 16d nails instead...Be sure you have a 4lb hand sledge for driving these...Anything else is either too light or too heavy/large...A 4lb hand sledge is perfect..Won't you be glad when that new fence gets built?!! I know I will!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
