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).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these stakes reconnect a snapped fence post?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: How many stakes are needed to repair one broken post?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Two UniExtra stakes are used per broken post—one on each side—to splint the fracture securely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Are screws included with the repair stakes?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No, screws are not included; use exterior-rated screws or bolts sized for the 6mm holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"UniExtra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56830060101972,"sku":"B083QCWF6K","price":82.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/2652\/4244\/files\/uniextra-front-packaging-stakes.jpg?v=1787000748","url":"https:\/\/gardenluxe.co.uk\/products\/uniextra-fence-post-repair-stakes-30-inch-powder-coated-steel-pack-of-4-7-pre-drilled-holes-tooth-ribbing","provider":"Gardenluxe Uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
