Fence Repair In 3 Easy Steps

Is your fence in good shape but experiencing some rotting at the base of its posts? 

Rotting is most likely due to moisture getting into the ground and eating away at the posts. This can then cause your fence to slowly sag and fall over. To solve this issue, we recommend sealing the entire base of each rotting post using the Sika PostFix. Begin by cleaning the existing holes and ensuring the depth of each holes is 36". For the following steps, please enjoy this step by step quick repair project using Sika PostFix.

Place the first post in the center of the hole. Prepare the bag of PostFix following instructions printed on the packaging. Make sure to be directly in front of the hole before mixing. To begin, roll the PostFix bag on a flat surface in the direction of the arrows bursting the seal in the middle and mix thoroughly for 15 seconds.

Immediately after mixing, cut a corner of the bag and pour the mixed material evenly around the post (wetting the post) and into the hole before expansion starts. Wetting the post will help to seal around the entire post and prevent water from entering. Place a level along the length of the post and hold in place for approximately 30 seconds making sure the post is plumb. Hardening will be achieved after approximately 3 minutes. Repeat this process for the other posts. 

Allow approximately 2 hours for the product to set completely before installing the fence.
