    Default Broken fence post repair

    Looking for a way to repair a timber fence that's starting to lean.
    The broken post is set in concrete path.
    the whole fence will need replacing in a few years, so looking for the best temporary fix.
    i've seen on the web, some metal plates you can bang in and screw to the post, but can't find anywhere in Aust that has them.
    Any other suggestions that have worked?
    thanks

    Try Bunnings, they used to have them a few years ago, or use star pickets or angle iron, say lintels from Bunnings.

    Else try diagonal bracing set into concrete a few feet away from the fence and bolted to the top of the fence posts.

    Star pickets could be the go.
    Thanks for the ideas.
