A leaning fence post is a common problem that just about every fence owner will encounter given enough time. It doesn\u2019t really matter how well the fence was installed initially \u2013 as weather, wood rot, and gravity have a way of causing fences to sag.<\/p>\n

The cause for this leaning can vary, from a simple loose footing to a fence post that\u2019s started rotting at the base. A loose or wobbly fence post is a fairly basic repair, while a rotted post is a more serious issue and will typically require you to remove the rotted post and replace it with a fresh one.<\/p>\n

This post will mostly focus on how to fix leaning fence posts that are loose but still in relatively good condition. If you need a more extensive repair then check out my article on how to remove a broken or rotted fence post<\/a>.<\/p>\n
