can fence post cement be reused?

Apr 04, 2004 2 Replies

One of my fence post has rotted and broken at the base. If I hollow out the rotted wood from inside the cement base, can I just drive another 4x4 post into the cement base to avoid digging it out and pour another one?


I suggest you take out the concrete, dig a little deeper, add a few inches of gravel then put in the new post. Now with proper drainage, the new post should last a lot longer.
