Information provided by various external sources

Fence-Aid, the company behind the Post Buddy fence post repair system was founded in 2010 by husband and wife, Wayne and Gaby Phelan. The family business based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, first began in the Phelans’ back garden when a broken fence post caused their fence to lean. Wayne did not relish the thought of digging out and replacing the damaged fence post. He knew that existing products on the market made for back-breaking, time-consuming work. Looking for a quicker, easier solution, Wayne, a former Development Project Manager, came up with new ideas on how to fix a leaning fence.……..and Post Buddy was born. Both Wayne and Gaby committed themselves to their new business venture and Gaby uses her experience as a PA to ensure Fence-Aid’s customers receive top quality service. Together Gaby and Wayne continue to grow and develop the company.

Posts have stayed up after several storms

I have used them on two posts. A fence post and a gate post. They were very easy and quick to place. I used three on the fence and two on the gate. They have survived a recent storm and I am very happy with them. I have ordered some more just in case I need to secure other posts in the future.

Work as advertised.

Second time I've used these Post Buddys and they do exactly what they are supposed to do. Very easy to install with the supplied screws. Loose posts now as good as new. Not sure how long they will last but they are powder coated steel so should last a good number of years.

Such a great product

Such a great product. Arrived quickly.

Only minor gripe is lack of countersink - possibly avoiding weakening the steel - but offends the aesthetic.

Excellent post repair

Post Buddy arrived quicker thank expected which was a great bonus.

Also, the post repair took 45mins, instead of many hours digging out the broken piece of post in the concrete footing.

Saved our fence

What a great product. Following a recent storm our fence was damaged and in danger of collapse. Post buddy has secured the fence and given us extra years. We ended up securing 13 posts are are very happy with the results.

A great deal cheaper and less time consuming than replacing the fence post.

The website is clear and the instructional videos and diagrams are simple to understand. The system arrived super quickly and in minimal packaging. Almost all of it was cardboard and easily recycled. The system was simple to install and has mended a completely snapped fence post, which had snapped clean at the base. I only needed one PostBuddy System and the fence seems sturdy again. It gas withstood a further storm, so I can recommend this product.

Great product, great value and great service.

I used Post Buddy fence repair kit before in my Dad's garden and the previously weak posts remains in place after years. I had a post moving around in the recent strong wind. I ordered just before Christmas Christmas and it arrived Christmas Eve (good service by DPD). Installed the post supports in less than 20 mins. Post is now upright and stable in strong winds. Based on previous experience, I'm not expecting to replace the post anytime soon. Recommended!

Don’t Bother

Only secured the post for a day or two - after a couple days of strong winds it’s gone back to leaning. I wish I’d just spent the money on replacing the post.
