Help -- I'm in trouble advice needed

Anonymous user 02/07/2026 - 7.49 AM

Hi all, i had a fencing job done recently and im in trouble. Long story short, The fencer has fit 9ft concrete posts (garden on a slope) into the ground with 2x 1ft gravelboards stacked so 2ft total, and 6 fence panels. He Should have used 11ft posts, instead they used 9ft ones. they have dug holes only 2ft deep and only been concreted in 1ft. needless to say posts are not solid. Cost me a lot of money and now Im on my own and need to figure a way of carrying out remedial work. easiest option i can think is to slot concrete spurs in front of the existing posts on my side of the fence but would look crap. putting posts behind the fence is a nightmare because of the slope what can i do?? thanks to any1 who can give advice

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Prob just used one bag of postcrete per hole instead of two. Top up every hole so post mix is level with grass or just below
