Fences - replacing uprights

bylromarha

Our fence was blown by the recent winds and some main uprights have snapped at the base.

The panels making the fence are fine, but it's angled at 20 degs off upright.

Do we need a whole new fence, or can someone come and replace the uprights? Which would be cheaper? Or is it easy for us to replace the uprights?

Thanks.

New post or a spur is the cheapest and easiest option.

We replaced our posts on front of house with new posts and kept old panels. Admittedly had help from a mate who does fences. He dug a hole with a long pointed shovel and got bags of concrete post mix, then added water to concrete and put post in left it over night to set properly and then put fences back up obviously made sure posts were straight. He told me is better to use concrete than use the megapost as they could hit a drain if your unsure.

If the panels are ok I would reuse them - possibly paint them whilst they are off.
The old uprights should have been concreted in, so you may find digging that out a little bit strenuous. A professional should have drills to break it up. With a bit of work a simple SDS drill can be used by an amateur.
