Company details
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.

Simple idea that works well
This simple product seemed to be too good to be true, surely it couldn't repair a 75 x75 post that had completely snapped? Well, my order arrived within a couple of days and moments later I had followed the instructions and completed the repair. We've had some strong winds since, but the fence has remained upright and hardly moves. Highly recommended.
What a great find
What a great find. Found these during a web search on fixing a wobbly fence post - absolutely brilliant, easy to use and a lot cheaper than a replacement post. After weeks of high quotes, slow replies, no shows, etc I was utterly fed up and my gate tilt was getting worse. In desperation I decided that I would have to try doing it myself (I'm 66). Found these, ordered them, quick delivery and straightforward installation. Start to finish in just over an hour and saved myself a fortune. Would use them again and would definitely recommend.

Very easy to use but not as sturdy as using a more traditional concrete solution.
Excellent product
Excellent product! I can’t believe nobody has come up with this solution previously. I will order more and have already recommended them to friends and family.

I bought 3 sets of Post Buddies as a trial 10 days ago and after a very successful and stress free installation I decided to buy further Post Buddies to reinforce a few suspect posts before they failed. Very happy with the product.
Does exactly what it says on the tin
Does exactly what it says on the tin, simple, quick and easy to install with minimum fuss. I have used these before, much easier than trying to dig out concrete and fit replacement posts. Recommended.
Didn’t work
Installed exactly as instructed but made very little difference to the fence. Expensive for what it is too. Won’t be buying again.

Does what it says but requires real effort and appropriate tool. ie heavy sledgehammer.
Fantastic
Got this in a last ditch attempt to fix the fence which was badly damaged by the recent winds. It arrived quickly and I fitted it easily. I wasn't sure what to expect from it but it's fantastic and the fence is sturdy again. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase more if necessary.
