    Repair a inground fence post
    Have a wobbly privacy fence post, any way to firm it up? There is no access to the other side (grouchy neighbor) any ideas?
    Thanks

    If it's wobbly then needs help all around. Guess you are going to have to approach your grouchy person. Maybe make him understand he doesn't have to help or pay?

    When one fence post goes without remedial attention, then others follow.

    Just be thankful you don't share an overgrown 20 ft high cedar hedge with mr. Grouch!

    Now it's 2 adjoining fence posts! I think I might let the section fall into his back yard and then he'll have to let me fix them all. (hope)

    Typically, most fence posts are set into the ground using concrete but others are installed using packed dirt in the fence post hole. To begin, evaluate the condition of the post and the concrete.

    Who owns the fence? What type is it and how tall is it?
