Covering Up A Damaged Concrete Fence Post.

[thebanishedone]

Hi All,

I’m putting in gravel boards and replacing fence panels in a fence reusing the existing concrete fence posts.

One or two of the posts have crumbled a bit and you can see some of the metal rebar inside. The posts are still solid but look a bit unpleasant.

I’d like to cover them with some wood to match/blend in with the fence to panels. I can’t screw in as the posts may crumble more.

Does anyone have any advice or done a similar thing? Any recommendations for an adhesive to use?

Thanks for reading (if you still are!!)

Rob.

DeWalt extreme masonry drill 5mm and yellow plugs and screw on wood.
Other option is use clear Stixall or other polymer grab and stick on.
I'm sure they make plastic covers for H posts when converting to a plastic fence?

Can't you reconcrete the missing bits? At least slap on some concrete mix over the holes where the rebar is showing?

When the steel bar gets rusty It's game over.
You can only tart up and see how it goes.
