Wooden posts nearly always fail just at or below the ground, where the timber stays damp, while the part above ground is still sound. The spur is set in the ground beside the damaged post and bolted to the sound timber above, so it takes over the job of holding the post upright. This spur is 1.2m long with a 100mm x 100mm section and is sold individually. The supplier's photographs show a grey concrete spur with three pre-formed bolt holes near one end. Homeowners, landlords, handymen and fencing contractors use repair spurs to fix leaning or broken fences quickly and cheaply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRepairs the post, not the whole fence\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplacing a rotten post usually means taking down the panels or boards each side. A spur goes in beside the old post instead, so the panels, rails and boards stay where they are. The supplier describes this as cost effective, as it avoids replacing the entire fence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes not rot like timber\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe supplier states the repair spur will not degrade as timber does. Below ground, where the old post failed, the spur stays sound. It reinforces and strengthens the fence line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePre-formed bolt holes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe holes near the top of the spur take the bolts that clamp it to the post. That means no drilling into the spur on site, only through the timber post.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKnow the limits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA spur works when the post above ground is still sound. If the post is rotten higher up, or badly split, replace it. The spur is heavy, with a listed weight of 28kg, so plan to handle it with care. Bolts and postfix are not listed as included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it's used\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFixing leaning panel fences after high winds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRepairing posts rotted at ground level\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrengthening gate-side and end posts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLandlord and maintenance repairs between tenancies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFence post repair spur\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.2m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100mm x 100mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConcrete, as shown in the supplier's photographs; composition and reinforcement not published for this line\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBolt holes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThree, near one end (as pictured)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuits\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSquare timber fence posts rotted at ground level\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFixing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePostfix and coach or carriage bolts (not listed as included)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eListed weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSold as\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle spurs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eChoosing the right option\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis spur comes in one size, 1.2m x 100mm x 100mm, which suits standard square timber fence posts. The question is whether a spur is the right repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse a spur when the post is rotten only at or just below ground level and the timber above is firm. Push a screwdriver into the post about 300mm above the ground: if it goes in easily, the rot is too high and the post should be replaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou need one spur per damaged post. For a long fence with many failing posts, compare the cost of spurs with new posts before you start.
