Leaning concrete posts

[Karolisko]

Hi all.

As seen on the picture, I inherited a couple of leaning concrete posts. Apart from the fact that they are leaning, they are also a bit unsightly, but other than that very useful - serving as a support for laundry lines.

I wanted to ask your advice on the following :
1. Is it worth fixing it /keeping it?
2. If yes, would it be feasible for me without heavy machinery to get them back to perfectly (ish) vertical position?

Thanks in advance.

Did around base. Pull straight and pour concrete.

If you have a handy winch and a suitable thing to take the winch forces you could haul them up and then compact/re-concrete in new position. If you don't then you are probably best doing Wayner's thing...which may or may not be awful lot of work. If its all solid maybe just leave wonky and a feature - like that tower in Italy.

)) No handy winch sadly. Leaning tower or digging around it is.

They look like wood, not concrete. In which case they're probably rotten at the bottom and need replacing, possibly including the others.

Looking at the state of the panel to the left of centre in your photo, it's probably all rotten and just needs complete renewal.

Thank you, but most definitely concrete.

Its the washing line post not the fence posts.

Mystery solved. If you post a photo of 4 posts and refer to a post don't be surprised if it confuses!

In that case I'd say don't take daft risks on digging out around it. I wouldn't fancy having that on my head.

Perhaps digging and concreting with an assistant holding it the whole time would be OK though. Just don't crawl underneath it.

Not my post, just trying to clarify for you
