Thank you so much this is so so helpful I have two damaged panels from the ice storm last night and could not figure out how to get them repaired thank you
Excellent video, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. The only difference between my job and your demonstration is that I am taking out a good 6' section of aluminum fence and replacing it with a 4' gate. Your video really helped.
Great video. I have an aluminum tube post that snapped at the concrete in the middle of a fence run. I was thinking of driving a rebar down inside the broken post then filling it with concrete. What do you think?
Thank you for your comment. The post should not flex enough to remove anything. It is imperative that the fence is installed as strong and secure as possible, anchored in concrete that is anywhere from 36"-42" deep. Doing so results in a fence that does not make it easy for anyone to take it apart.
Come on guy. That's terrible. You left a post with old exposed holes and brackets that just look out of place. Please tell me you can figure out a cleaner solution
A "cleaner" solution would require K Brothers Fence to completely replace the post, as well as the panel. The customer did not want that additional expense and was very happy with replacing the section at minimal expense. And Matt, as we would often tell you, we do not believe in over-charging our customers.
Well...if you just notch your panel an extra inch on one side, you can slide in in one post and then insert the other end to the factory notch. Saving the cost of brackets, and leaving it with an original finished look
@@matthewkeefe100 Incorrect. Maybe watch the clip again? Also, Dave did not leave "old exposed holes", he properly re-secured the new panel to the existing post, leaving the section with a clean look and K Brothers Fence with another happy customer :)
Matthew, great suggestion! Going to try this instead of using the bracket. One concern is will there be enough room in the post to handle the extra inch from the notch. Maybe a bit of force will do the trick.

Awesome, so happy the video helped you!

Thanks for the feedback John, so good to hear that the video helped!
Great, detailed repair video. I have exact same fence and same thing happened to mine yesterday - thank you for posting this!
You are so very welcome, Cameron!
Helpful video. I must say you're very steady with that sawzall.
Thanks much!
Where did he get the brackets

The post should flex enough to remove the upper rails; I plan to cut and use one of these on the lower rail only . Thank you.

ive never put my thumb there while using a sawsall.... seems brave.
any idea where to find 1" bronze wall brackets?
Where can you purchase the wall brackets you used on the one post along with the screws.
Thanks!
We order them from Nationwide and/or Shapes Unlimited. We are located in Mokena, IL. so if you are nearby feel free to stop in and we can help you.
I wanted to know how to replace 1 damaged picket on a gate. I already found where to buy a replacement picket.
Hi John, we're planning on putting together more helpful videos during the slow season. I'll be sure to mention this. Thanks for your input!
Hi John, did you ever figure out how to replace just one picket? I'm coming across a similar issue. Thanks!
Thanks but I am in North Carolina.
