The Metal Hut Fence Post Repair Spikes 4" – Fence Post Spikes for Wooden Fence Panels Repair and Support – Powder Coated Steel Fence Post Repair Stakes – Easy and Fast Repair

Used this to stabilise an oak gate post that I put in around 20 years ago. It had rotted badly in the concrete and about 2 inches up the post. Probably down to around 2-3 inches of post left. I didn’t fancy trying to dig out the old post this autumn - so I thought I would give the spike a bash.The first thing to be aware of is that it has a long spike, and although it is pretty solid, it wouldn’t penetrate the clay and bits of stone that lies under my topsoil. I tried making a path for it using a 2 ft long cold chisel, but in the end I had to dig out the stones by hand. I then attached the spike to the post.Contrary to some reviews, it will take a 6.3 screw (I used the ones in the picture) which means you can use hex headed screws. Just need to make sure they are centred (using the pint of a 6mm wood drill bit to mark the centre helps with this. I the packed the clay and stones around the spike. I wanted to stop any water gathering in the concrete socket where the post had rotted away - so I filled the gap in using lime render. I avoided concrete as I guess I will need to clear out the socket and fit a new post at some time.1 month on - all totally solid. I’m sure the spike will outlast the post by a long ay.

We used this to repair a post that supports feather board fencing. Due to a large hedge we can only get to it from one side and did not want the upheaval and cost of replacing a section of it just because of a post. We dug out a hole and installed this. The hardest part was the digging due to compacted soil and root material. No concrete was necessary and the post is now sturdy and straight.Robust, simple and strong.Does the job.

Don't be put off by the size as it has to be big to work, but it does go in smoothly. Ample horizontal bar which will fit over the cement base of the post you are trying to repair.I used mine after the last storm in February and it took all of 10 minutes to install. Just watch where you hit the "spike" as it will tend to enter at an angle if it is struck at the end.

Bracket is of Solid construction and an ideal solution to reinforcing weaken panel posts.The offset bracket allows the steak part to be driven into the ground, avoiding the existing postcrete.I will admit I was sceptical of the quality and performance prior to ordering the bracket but took re-assurance based on customer reviews.I can now confirm the reviews are correct and this bracket is a great solution for hard to replace posts.

Strong and easy to use, fixed a 4 inch post in 5 minutes. Have ordered another one for snother post broken at ground level

Excellent piece of kit. Really solid with nearly 10 ins of offset which is ample to bypass the concrete foundation. Only very minor gripe is that I would have liked slightly wider holes that could accommodate a 6.3 mm hex screw. Post barely moves when installed. Great for this time of year (winter) when it would be a real hassle removing fence panels and having to dig out old concrete. The intention was that this would be a temporary fix but now that it is secure it is that effective it might just be staying put.

Wish I had brought this months ago.Easy to bang into soil. Fence sturdy and will last through winter and longer

I used it to repair a broken fence post which would have caused severe disruption to dig out the broken base. It was fitted very easily and solved the problem
