.... When it snaps your Alloy/Steel CCTV camera off like a twig.  ...

Hollow tubes are best filled with expanding foam makes them almost bombproof...

It was this camera Link, Where it broke there wouldn't have been a way to do this.

On the hunt for a new camera now, Thanks windy wooo

Came back from the record shop to find my neighbour just finishing off repairs to my fence.

Can see a few new fence panels being required soon. Hopefully I can bodge these until the hysteria (and inflated prices) has passed.

Passed an 11kv cable dangling in the road on my travels. Hope that didn't surprise anyone when it went.

A concrete stud(?) dug down the side of the original post, and a bag of postcrete is the cheapest way I've found to fix the snapped off fence post issue.


...but it helps if you have a compressor and an air hammer attachment.

Dig down next to the snapped post , put in another post as near to the snapped post and pack out to upright then fill hole with postcrete  Worked on 2 of mine and been up 12 months with no problemo

I'm going to put a small fence in soon, but I'm going to use fence spikes.

Spare on ehere if you need, not sure if it's the colour you want though.

They rust and snap off the same as wood ones. But they are more if a bugger to dig out.

...or the wood post rots and snaps off just the same.

That's right, just the same 

Saves digging holes though.

Not if they are set in concrete.....my fence has spikes into concrete.....been there 20+ years, still good, tho i have replaced some of the posts, easy to remove if in spikes

As said these are not a long term option and depends on how solid your ground is. Better off biting the bullet with concrete panels and bases.

It will be fine but, of course, there's nowt like a ten page thread dedicated to the minutiae of fence erection.

Yes. A term I haven't heard for years. Quite refreshing really.

How many pages would the thread be if we narrowed it down to "erection" only. Or would it all go quiet?

It might this end.
