UniExtra Fence Post Repair Stakes 30-inch Powder-Coated Steel Pack of 4 — 7 Pre-Drilled Holes, Tooth Ribbing

UniExtra Fence Post Repair Stakes are 30-inch powder-coated steel splints that slide into broken, concreted-in wooden posts to rejoin and stabilize them without digging up the post.

If a fence post has fractured at or below ground level, you don’t have to replace the entire post or tear up surrounding landscaping. UniExtra repair stakes are long, slim steel plates with extended tooth ribbing that run along the bottom third; driven into the buried wood and screwed to the remaining post, they act like an internal splint to restore uprightness and strength. Each stake is 30 inches long, 1 inch wide and 1/4 inch thick, with seven 6mm screw holes for secure fastening. This pack of four supplies the parts needed to repair two posts (or shore up four posts as preventative reinforcement).

How do these stakes reconnect a snapped fence post?

The stakes are designed to be driven into the underground portion of a broken post so that one end is embedded in the buried stump while the other fastens to the exposed upper section, creating a continuous load path across the break. The tooth ribbing increases resistance below ground to prevent pull-out and shifting.

• Drive stake alongside or through the wood on both sides of the fracture for a splint effect.
• Seven pre-drilled 6mm holes allow for secure screw attachment into both post halves.
• Tooth ribs along the lower third improve grip inside soil and wood for long-term hold.
• Powder-coated silver finish resists rust and blends with many fence styles.

Will installation damage my garden or require digging up concrete?

UniExtra stakes are intended for concreted-in posts and work without removing the post or breaking out the concrete footing. They’re a minimally invasive repair that saves plants and hardscape by rejoining the existing post in situ.

• No excavation of the concrete base—work is completed around the existing footing.
• No need to dismantle adjacent fence panels or surrounding plants.
• Installation can often be completed in about 20 minutes with common hand tools.
• Stakes are slim (1" wide) to fit tight gaps and limited-access locations.

How strong and durable are these steel repair stakes?

Manufactured from thick steel (1/4") and powder coated in silver, the stakes balance rigidity and a small amount of flexibility for alignment during fitting. Their build supports fences of most sizes while resisting corrosion for outdoor use.

• Each stake measures approximately 30" x 1" x 1/4" and weighs about 1.7 lb for substantial strength.
• Powder coating provides weather resistance and a neutral appearance.
• Design suits both pressure- and non-pressure-treated wood posts and many metal post types.
• Seven screw holes per stake for secure, multi-point fastening (screws not included).

What tools and materials do I need to complete a repair?

Repairs require simple tools and common fasteners — no specialized equipment. The stakes are practical for DIYers and tradespeople alike.

• Drive the stake using a sledge, mallet, or post driver to reach the buried wood.
• Use 6mm (or slightly larger) exterior-grade screws or bolts to fasten through the pre-drilled holes (not included).
• Optional: drill pilot holes in very hard or old posts to ease fastening.
• No heavy excavation tools or concrete removal are typically necessary.

Who is this for? UniExtra Fence Post Repair Stakes are for homeowners, property managers, landscapers and fence contractors who want a fast, low-impact way to restore broken or loose concreted-in posts. They’re particularly useful when preserving surrounding planting, avoiding a full post replacement, or speeding up multiple repairs. Each pack of four supplies material for two full post repairs (two stakes per repaired post) or provides reinforcement for up to four posts when used singly.
