Pros & Cons
Pros
I'm not sure this is a proper use of the post buddy, but at my age, i figure they will outlast me. These are awesome!
All you need is a sledge hammer (4lb works), appropriate screws, and an optional level. Go in fast, drive them down and drive in some 2-1/2 fasteners. Better than demoing fence and replacing posts from scratch.
Fence buddies are wonderful to straighten leaning posts. Fixed 2 posts temporarily from wobbling. These are very sturdy and will work great until i can replace the posts.
These are designed to repair fence posts that were installed with concrete but have rotted off at ground level. I live in an area that experiences brutal weather and gale force winds. Had a few rotten fence posts on a 15+ yr old 6 ft wooden privacy fe... Read More
Cons
These stakes install easily, but are not remotely close to being strong enough to support a fence post. Product installs easily but does not provide sufficient support.
Highlights
Quality
These are very easy to install and have made my fence a lot sturdier although probably not quite as sturdy as they were when i ... Read More
They work great and sure it beats having to dig out a post stub and concrete plinth
This type of fencing is a pain to fix needing whole sections to be taken down to affect even small repairs
After a few days i removed the temporary support and filled the hole with dirt up to the top of the concrete
Price
These bars have saved me a lot of money
Added years to the life of my fence for a couple hundred dollars rather than paying several thousand to have it replaced
Rebuild my fence is not cost effective
A little bit expensive for what they are
Shipping
If needed i would suggest ordering extra to avoid paying for shipping again a mistake we made
They took quite a while to get here and are expensive but i find them worth it
Packaging/appearance
Added three post buddies to each of the two rotten fence posts in my garden
Competitiveness
I bought these instead of another similar product because these looked easier to use

Be sure to add concrete around the bottom of the fix especially if there is a void between the bottom of the post and top of the concrete
