  FYI, the price of the EZ mender has increased, but it&apos;s still a bargain! Here&apos;s the link to buy it: <a href="https://homedepot.sjv.io/RGo5e9">https://homedepot.sjv.io/RGo5e9</a> (affiliate link)

  Had my doubts that it would be sufficient, but after 40+ years doing construction and handyman work, I learned something. Great job!!

  Excellent job son and the tip about positioning the repair plate along the side of the post is something I would not have thought of 👍🏻

  Thank you for sharing this video! I&apos;m a single mom and needed to repair my fence because I just can&apos;t afford to replace it. This was perfect! I was able to do everything with a hammer, an old piece of wood, and my little black and decker, all by myself. You saved me a ton of money and time. Thank you!!!!

  I just finished 7 of these &quot;fence buddys.&quot; They are good if the only problem is the post.

  Great video! You understand ROI. I watched this last week. I did three fence jobs yesterday on rentals and I tried this with the $8 Menards version on one of them. It worked great and was a lot faster than replacing the post. <br><br>I do a lot of work for a property manager with over 400 houses and he would always choose this type of repair on his low cost rentals but never on his high end houses or his own. The renters are happy the fence is fixed so it won’t fall and the dogs don’t get out. When they ask what is the best way I do all cedar with metal hangers and all screws, no nails anywhere. Not everyone wants to pay the $6200 I just got paid by a lady who wanted a beautiful fence made to last. <br><br>Customer is always right! Keep making videos and &nbsp;ignore the hater.

  Love these things. I fixed 5 posts with these a few years ago and they&apos;re holding up great and saved me a ton of work. Yeah it&apos;s a quick and cheap fix, but it works

  This means I have to go into my neighbors’ yard...which means I have to talk to them 😬

  This video was very helpful. Part of our fence came down with 2 posts on Saturday January 11th. This was due to high winds and a winter storm in the Chicago area. I used your method to repair one of the posts Saturday. It took longer due to my inexperience and lack of skill, not to mention the darkness, wind and snow. It ended up being a very solid repair. I was impressed how well this worked. Your instructions were great. I deviated slightly in that I secured the 2 supports to the post with a long carriage bolt going through the post and both supports. I used a chisel to make sure I had some space between the concrete (which was at ground level) and the post. Essentially, it seems the support wedges into the wood rather than breaking through the concrete. Thank you very much!

  That is exactly what&apos;s going on with my fence; high winds damage over time. Thank you for the advice.
