Saved us hella time and money! Been aerating all day and on our last property we weren’t able to get the machines through the fence gates!

[@1518joefil1]

Excellent! The fence company I contacted wanted 165.00 labor to replace a damaged section. This literally took 5min!

[@RSFenceCompanyDillsburg]

Awesome! Glad it helped you out!

[@LindainNC]

I haven't tried this yet but did call the company. You need to cut off your existing post at the ground, take panel off, put insert down in the existing hole from where you cut it off, then slip the post back over the insert. The insert is 1 3/4" and the post is hollow" so it should work and sounds super simple.

This was a perfect video for what I needed

[@mikegezz]

Fencing is so expensive right now. Thank you for this. I think i’m going to move my existing fence instead of replacing it all.

[@RSFenceCompanyDillsburg]

Yes, it really is very expensive right now.. it's going up like everything else. Let me know if you need anything Mike. Thank you.

Great video. So the cutoff 2x2 aluminum post becomes the below ground sleeve , then you insert an H post into that and finally the remainder of the cutoff post over the H post or insert you are using? What are the specs of the H post/insert and where is it available?

[@MANJU1ANANTH]

Thank you. Very useful!! Really you saved my day.

[@RSFenceCompanyDillsburg]

Glad to hear that!

[@anneuppal4078]

thank you for making this video!

[@jasonsharpbucks]

I looked at the website, not finding them, what is the sleeve called or do you have direct link?

[@jordanwilmoth9355]

I'm assuming these post were not set in concrete correct? Mine are so not sure if this will work for me.

[@RSFenceCompanyDillsburg]

They are set in concrete as well. So this method prevents you from having to dig all that up to remove a post.

[@mas3ymd]

Ummmm……. what happens when your posts are cemented into the ground directly?

[@leonardoestrada5899]

Are all aluminum fence post set to move like that or are some poured with concrete?

[@Rayofficial13565]

Mine are in concrete and have no screws so this won't help me.

[@LindainNC]

@@Rayofficial13565 Check both sides of your fence for the screws. You need to cut off your post, drop the metal insert down in the hollow post then slip the post back over top.

[@mohameddarwish9086]

Where can I get the pole from I want to do that to one of my posts

[@Colin-lm2qb]

Is it possible to replace just one rod in the section ?

[@RSFenceCompanyDillsburg]

If it's a fence style like this one in the video - yes! It is very easy to replace, however if you have a top rail and pickets don't go through the top rail then it would be more of a challenge to replace just the one picket and you would be best to follow the approach in the video by removing the panel and then the top rail to replace your damaged picket.

What is holding the post in the ground? I notice when you took the black cover off their was another piece what holds that in the ground. We have a black fence now that was with the house we just bought we would like to expand it out and use what we have for one side .

[@RSFenceCompanyDillsburg]

The post is held in the ground by Concrete mix. Typically around 40lb-50lb bag of concrete per hole

[@movinngroovin2104]

Thank you we just removed the fence today they had very little mix around the post thank goodness . We are going to install it again in a better location in our yard .

[@jamesimmordino4855]

Where can I find the removeable sleeve assembly?

[@RSFenceCompanyDillsburg]

www.randsfence.com or call 717-502-0942

[@MrSlinki52]

Very helpful. Was going great until the 3rd post was anchored in concrete and not sliding out of the sleeve.

[@RSFenceCompanyDillsburg]

Yes we have heard of this happening before but seems to be very rare and not sure how exactly that happens.

[@elmermt]

A strong wind could take the fence down. that is so sorry how they installed a fence. most be lowes installers.

[@josalynefletcher8873]

What tool is that!? Handheld screw gun!?

[@RSFenceCompanyDillsburg]

Yes that is exactly what it is! Sorry for the delay

Traditionally set aluminum fences this would not work. The post is set about 2' in the ground with concrete. In this scenario you have an inner post that the aluminum post is sleeved over with. We install our aluminum fences in a similar manner, but to have people thinking that repairing a traditionally set aluminum fence is this easy is misleading. I am curious as to what the inner post is that you are using as well as if that inner post was set in concrete as there was obviously zero adhesion if it was, unless there is an additional sleeve set below grade that allows that post to be so easily removed and reset. Whatever your system, this is great for those who want a removable section to bring in material or trailers periodically.

Yea that is kind of a tough one to answer and I think we are working on some better video content to help clear it up little bit. This video was literally taken with a phone and not very professional & it was more or less quickly created to help out some of our local folks. Basically the standard 2" posts is hollow with holes punched or routed into it for the fence panels to insert. So we use an H-Channel Aluminum insert so that you can still re-attach panels with insertion the same way you would do with a traditional installation approach. The posts are concreted in the ground at the approximately 2' depth like you had said. Then he just goes up and cuts the post off at ground level or slightly below, removes the posts and slides the H-CHANNEL INSERT into the hollow sleeve in the ground. The H-channel used in this one is around 6' long or so with 2' in the ground and another 4' up inside the 2" posts. Hopefully that helps make little more sense to it.
