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.

The post buddy is an absolute saviour

The post buddy is an absolute saviour. It's not out fence or post as it's the neighbour that fitted it and if had gone completely my crazy dog would have been running riot.
The post buddy was easy to fit and super effective. I recon I will get another few years out of it before having to replace the post. Five mins to fit (I'm a woman and not a very strong one 🤣) peace of mind straight away.

Praise unconfined!

Absolute corker of an idea when I first saw this system put into practice. When my package arrived I was impressed by the quality of the steal and its coating. My friend helped me install Post Buddy on two posts. I give this 10/10 for quality and outcome. My two rotten posts now have a new life without having chore digging them out and re concreting.

Brilliant product

Brilliant product . I have had four kits now all to give support to posts that were rocking. Saved lots of money and they continue to support the fence.

Excellent repair for a broken fence post

The Post Buddy set was purchased to strengthen a wooden fence post in the driveway that had rotted through at the base. Initially I thought it would be good as a short-term fix. However, the post is now rock solid, meaning I won't have to buy a new post for a good while now.

Really cost effective way to mend rotten fence posts

These really work- follow the instructions and you can’t go wrong. We had 3 rotten fence posts in quite a long stretch of fencing. When the wind blew, the whole length of fencing rocked alarmingly. I thought that we were in for a big bill to get everything replaced. I installed Post Buddies and everything seems rock solid again. They were really straightforward to install, you just need a lump hammer and an impact driver as there are a lot of screws needed. They are visible but not unsightly. Recommended.
