Hi,
I've noticed a fence post in the middle of my fence is completely rotten at the bottom, and the whole thing has developed an ominous lean (though the panels on either side are still serviceable). The fence is 6 foot high.
I have propped up the panels, and detatched them from the post. The post was so rotten it was completely separate from the root of the post, which was still in the ground. I was able to pull the root post out with my hand (it was really damp and not very strongly held in). This left a square-shaped hole in the concrete that surrounds the fence, about a foot deep, the exact size of the original post, and with a concrete bottom.
I was thinking of trying to get one of these to support the new post:
Would this work? Would the new concrete bond sufficiently strongly to the old concrete to provide sufficient support? Or is there a better way to deal with it?
Thanks
Miles
