Shoring up fence with loose/rotten posts
I’ve got a fence that is 10 posts long, currently leaning (about 20cm at its worst) and flapping in wind. 5 of the posts are still very sturdy when force applied, the other 5 have varying degrees of wobble. Is there a way of fixing without digging out existing posts? I was wondering if I could put a few posts in on opposite side? After reading the costs of getting the posts replaced professionally (£150-250 each) I think it’s a fair bit out our budget just now. Any tips appreciated
