Hi

My garden fence has suffered in the recent winds and a couple of panels
are down. The posts have loosed too. I would appreciate some tips on
replacing them, I will probably be working on my own. I will get some of
those spike things to put the new posts in, and will replace the old
panels with new - 5 posts and 4 panels is the plan. My question is - how
do I know that the spikes will be hammered in VERTICALLY, and also, am I
likely to be able to handle the panels on my own?

Thanks

those post spikes are the hardest things to get vertical and then in line.

go for dug holes and cement..........put the furthest in first and then use
an alignment string between.

queer sock the post ends before setting in the cement.

that's what my wife did with ours.........

google is very helpful on all things fencing.......
