Questions & Answers

what is the measurement of the extending portion from fence?
ByOct 25, 2026
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

The horizontal extending portion that offsets from the fence post measures 4-3/4 inches. This offset design allows the fence post anchor to easily bypass underground concrete footings for a quick no-dig installation. The upper mounting section is 2 inches wide and 17 inches tall, designed to fit securely along standard 4x4 and 6x6 wood posts.

        Do you install 2 per post or 1 is enough? One on each side? Or just on one side? Thank you!
        ByMar 11, 2026
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        Hi Chris, great question! For most leaning or wobbling fences, installing just 1 anchor on one side is completely sufficient. Because our Heavy-Duty Black 11-Gauge Steel Fence Post Anchor Repair Kit is crafted from extra-thick (3mm) S275J2 structural steel, a single unit provides exceptional strength to reinforce leaning or rotting wood fences without bending. We recommend driving the sharp V-shaped tip into the ground on the opposite side of the lean for the best leverage. This no-dig fence repair solution is universally designed to fit both nominal 4x4 and 6x6 wood posts, allowing you to save the significant time and cost of a full post replacement or pouring concrete. However, if your post is severely rotted, supports a heavy gate, or is located in an area with extremely high winds, installing 2 anchors (one on each opposite side) will provide maximum, heavy-duty structural stability. Please note this specific item is a 1-Pack, which includes one steel post anchor and all necessary mounting hardware for a quick, permanent DIY restoration on one side. Hope this helps with your project!

          The MYWISH worked very well on my 5 posts. I used a piece of 2x4 to protect the coating, as seen in the picture. I would have given it an overall of 5, but I thought they were a bit expensive.

          Great option for damaged fence posts
          The Heavy Duty Steel Black Fence Post Repair Stake for 4x4 or 6x6 posts is a simple and effective solution for fixing a damaged or rotting fence post without having to completely replace the entire post and concrete base. If you’re looking for a straightforward repair option that doesn’t require digging up a large cement footing, this product makes the job much easier. Installation is fairly simple as long as the original post is not surrounded by a large concrete base. The repair stake is designed to be driven directly into the ground next to the existing post. Using a sledgehammer, you pound the stake down into the soil until it is firmly set. The most important part of the process is making sure the stake stays level and straight as you drive it into the ground. Taking a little extra time to check alignment while installing will make attaching the post much easier and ensure the fence stays sturdy. Once the stake is fully seated in the ground, you simply secure it to the wooden post using screws. After fastening, the bracket holds the post tightly and provides excellent support. The steel construction feels very strong and provides impressive holding power, helping stabilize leaning or weakened posts effectively. It’s a great option for extending the life of a fence without the labor of removing and resetting posts. One minor downside is the paint coating. Because the stake needs to be driven into the ground with a sledgehammer, some of the black paint tends to chip or scratch off during installation. This doesn’t affect the strength or function of the product, but it may impact the appearance slightly unless you touch it up afterward. Overall, this is a durable, practical fence repair solution that works well and saves significant time compared to replacing a post entirely.

          Works well for fence posts, and other 'post' projects, too!
          What I really like about this item is its versatility. It is specifically designed for supporting fence posts, but can be used for other household 'post' projects as well. I selected a set of two of these; one to repair a fencepost damaged in the ice storm, and the other to serve as a post support for a backyard birdhouse. I found the supports to be well made, and I really appreciate that they came with bolts and a matching driver, and a bit for pre-drilling - all came in handy and were used. From the attached photos, you can se that the overall length is in the 35" to 36" range, which was ideal for my projects. The only reason why I did not score it a 5 is because after installation I noticed that one of the weld spots came partially loose, which was a bit of a concern but not cause for alarm for my project. My first project was for the birdhouse, and the following will be to straighten the damaged fencepost as seen in the background of the last pic - but I will need an extra hand for that one.

          Easier than new posts
          I recently used the Heavy-Duty Black 11-Gauge Steel Fence Post Anchor Repair Kit to fix a couple of loose fence posts in my backyard, and it worked far better than I expected. The steel construction feels extremely solid and durable. The 11-gauge steel gives the anchors a heavy-duty feel, and the black powder-coated finish looks good while also helping protect against rust and weather. Installation was surprisingly straightforward. Instead of digging out and replacing the entire post, I was able to reinforce the existing 4x4 post with the anchor kit. The design holds the post tightly and restored stability to my fence almost immediately. It saved me a lot of time, effort, and money compared to replacing the whole post. Effort being the key issue for me. Overall, this repair kit is a great solution if you have leaning or weakened fence posts. It’s strong, easy to install, and much more convenient than replacing the entire post. I would definitely recommend it to homeowners or DIYers looking for a quick and reliable fence repair.

          Black gate post support
          Heavy duty metal post support is very sturdy. 11 gauge metal is attractive, not easily bent and looks like it will last for a long time. I have a sloped property and have wondered what I can do to shore up and solidify a leaning gate post. This will definitely work. Due to frozen ground with snow and ice, I am unable to install it until we get some thaw, but I feel sure it will add more years to post life and support. I intend to buy more and definitely recommend.

          Heavy duty fence post brace
          Excellent solution for my unaligned fence post. I had a problem with a fence post that I could not fix without removing and re setting it. This post brace allowed me to reinforce the post and hold it in place. It is a very solid post brace which is made with heavy duty steel and coated with rust resistant coating. I aligned the post and inserted the brace into position using mallet. It came with the needed hardware to hold it in place. (Screws, drill bit and socket for my drill.) Very easy with good results.

          Sturdy and well-made. Neat welds. Easy DIY installation.
          I installed several of these fence post repair brackets on 5x5 privacy fence posts. You can also use them with 4x4 and 6x6 posts. Out of the box, they are well-made, with clean welds, even black painted finish and are weighty. Hardware is included along with a drill bit. I’d recommend using a 2x4 piece of wood and a 3lb sledge hammer to install the brackets. The wood will prevent marring and damage to the metal bracket during installation. The end of the bracket is pointed and digging is not necessary, but you do need to pay attention to the position of the bracket as you hammer it into the ground. When fully set into the ground, you want the bracket to be tight against the post and centered on the post. Once fully embedded, you won’t be able to move the bracket, so again, pay close attention to the position of the bracket as you hammer it into the ground. If the ground is too hard, you can soften it with some water from a bucket or garden hose. These brackets are not inexpensive, but they are less time consuming and costly than installing a new post or hiring a professional to install a new post. Over the years, I have spent thousands of dollars to keep my 6-foot privacy fence standing. The fail point is always at the ground line. The wood rots away and the fence eventually starts to lean. These brackets eliminate that failure point, extending the life of my posts for many years. The best part is that I can install them myself in about 10 minutes each. Highly recommended

          Post Anchor
          This post anchor came at the perfect time! The winter and winds have come to take my mailbox off its mount. The anchor hammers in to the ground w ease and a mini sledge hammer. Its got a bend to help with driving it and its long enough to reach a solid depth to reach a solid point to fix the included nut driver that will drive the self tapping nut head screws. It seems very stout.

          Sturdy Steel
          Just received the Fence Post repair anchor… The item came well packaged and included mounting screws and drill bit for the Screw heads… It even included a white glove. There is a loose post on the property and this will definitely come in handy and make the job simple to secure the post. The cold weather is not good now…plan to secure & install in the coming months. The metal stake That goes into the ground is sharp and should make the job much easier as long as there are no roots. Even the design that is secured to the post is attractive and aesthetically pleasing with clean lines. Very pleased and should last for many years…I highly recommend.
