Hi all,
I am in the process of planning to replace an entire fence (23m worth!) but the recent high winds have forced my hand sooner than my finances will allow it - there are 4 wooden posts in a row that are wobbling (one has snapped off, I'm fairly sure) and another one further down the garden.
Is there a quick fix (that can last a week or two until payday) that I could do to stop these posts swaying about quite so much? The four wonky posts have very narrow access (3" or so?) and then a concrete base where the shed used to be (foolishly took that down recently).
As the posts sway both ways (oo - err) is there a well-known support that I could fix to the ground and to the post in order to pull it back into some semblance of order whilst I prepare for the bigger job?
I could perhaps bodge something together myself, but my DIY skills are not great, so if there was something that people already used it'd be good to know - I guess part of the problem will be that the posts will be sunk in concrete... Could I perhaps get another length of wood and screw this into the three wonky posts, and then use something else to anchor this to the ground?
