Abstract
A method for repairing a wooden fence post that has been weakened by rot or other damage, using a fence post repair device built such that it bypasses the under-ground concrete post support, while providing a new anchor system for the base of the fence post. This fence post repair device may be driven into the ground or set into concrete.
Description
Fence Post Repair Device Background of the Invention The present invention relates to the field of fence repair. Many fences are built using wooden fence posts that are anchored in the ground using cement fill around the post's below-ground lower portion. The installation process is based on using an auger to drill a cylindrical hole in the earth that is filled with concrete while the fence post is held vertically in the hole. When the concrete has hardened, the fence post is ready for use to support the fence that is attached to the fence posts.
Over a period of time the fence post may suffer from rot or some other type of damage at or near to the lower portion of the fence post, allowing the fence to lean because the damaged fence post will no longer stay vertical or support any lateral loads. In order to replace the damaged fence post, it is necessary to dig up the concrete around its base, which is a difficult task at best and will probably require dismantling the fence around the fence post in question.
Commercial alternatives exist, basically manufactured stakes that are driven into the ground, which attach to the lower portion of the remaining fence post, but none of them allow for the fact that the concrete with the lower portion of the fence post remains in the way of the stake.
A better solution that can be used to repair the fence post in situ, without any digging up of concrete or dismantling of the fence is the subject of this invention.
Summary of the Invention It is the object of this invention to provide a device that can be used to repair a damaged fence post in situ, without any digging up of concrete or dismantling of the fence.
The fence post repair device consists of three main components:
1) The spike that is driven into the ground to provide the stability to the device.

Summary of the Invention It is the object of this invention to provide a device that can be used to repair a damaged fence post in situ, without any digging up of concrete or dismantling of the fence.
The fence post repair device consists of three main components:
1) The spike that is driven into the ground to provide the stability to the device.
2) The horizontal portion that connects to the spike and joins it to the vertical portion.
This horizontal portion provides the offset that allows the spike to miss the concrete Date Regue/Date Received 2022-08-27 holding the fence post base. This horizontal portion also provides a surface for striking with a hammer to drive the spike into the ground.
This horizontal portion provides the offset that allows the spike to miss the concrete Date Regue/Date Received 2022-08-27 holding the fence post base. This horizontal portion also provides a surface for striking with a hammer to drive the spike into the ground.
3) The vertical portion that attaches the device to the upper portion of the damaged fence post using screws or other types of fasteners.
In general terms these three components have the following characteristics:
1) The spike is between 2 to 4 feet long and is tapered (or not) to provide easy entry into the ground while providing resistance to movement due to its bearing on the soil around it. The spike is preferably made of metal, most likely steel, but other materials are not precluded. Attachment to the horizontal portion is made through welding, screwing, or other bonding methods.
2) The horizontal portion is between 3 and 12 inches long and is stiff enough and strong enough to prevent permanent distortion during installation. It too is preferably made of metal, most likely steel, but other materials are not precluded. In the embodiment shown here, it is made from a section of channel with reinforcing brackets and it is attached to the vertical portion through welding, screwing, or other bonding methods.
3) The vertical portion is between 6 and 36 inches long and is stiff enough and strong enough to prevent permanent distortion during installation. It too is preferably made of metal, most likely steel, but other materials are not precluded. In the embodiment shown here, it is made from a section of channel with bolt holes and it is attached to the fence post through screwing, or other bonding methods.
During installation of the fence post repair device it as expected that the following steps will be followed:
For installing the fence post support device using concrete.
1) The process starts by digging a hole beside the existing concrete around the base of the broken post, 2) The fence post support device is the bolted to the upper portion of the broken post, 3) The broken post upper portion is then braced in a vertical position, Date Regue/Date Received 2022-08-27
