STORM BRAM HAS ARRIVED. IS YOUR FENCE READY?
Storm Bram is sweeping across the UK, bringing high winds, heavy rain and disruption. When storms like this hit, garden fences are often the first thing to suffer.
At Post Buddy System we are already hearing from homeowners dealing with leaning posts, loose panels and unstable fencing. A storm damaged fence might still be standing, but that does not mean it is safe.
If your fence feels loose after the storm, now is the time to act.
WHERE STORM BRAM IS CAUSING THE MOST FENCE DAMAGE
Storm Bram is hitting exposed parts of the country the hardest. Scotland is seeing severe wind conditions, particularly in northern and western areas. Parts of Wales and the south west of England are dealing with heavy rainfall and saturated ground. These conditions put huge pressure on fence posts.
Even inland areas are at risk. Once the ground becomes waterlogged, posts lose their grip. One strong gust can be enough to push a weakened fence out of line.
If you have experienced strong winds or persistent rain, it is worth checking your fence today.
WHY STORMS TARGET FENCE POSTS FIRST
Most storm damaged fences fail at the post, not the panel.
Timber posts slowly rot at ground level over time. Heavy rain weakens the soil, and wind adds movement. Storm Bram simply accelerates what was already coming.
Once a post starts moving, the rest of the fence follows. That is why early fence repairs matter.
Do not wait for the next storm to finish the job.
FIX YOUR BROKEN FENCE BEFORE CHRISTMAS WITHOUT REPLACING EVERYTHING
Traditional fence repairs mean digging out posts, breaking up concrete and removing panels. In winter, that job is slow, messy and expensive.
Post Buddy System offers a simpler way to fix broken fence posts. Our system reinforces the existing post by driving strong steel spikes into the ground beside it. The post is then secured back into place without removal.
For a storm damaged fence, this approach saves time, cost and frustration.
If you want your fence secure before Christmas, this is the fastest way to do it.
WHY POST BUDDY SYSTEM MAKES SENSE FOR WINTER FENCE REPAIRS
At Post Buddy System we designed our solution for real conditions.
It works even when the base of the post has rotted. There is no digging, no concrete to break out and no panels to remove. That means less disruption and quicker fence repairs.
Many customers complete a repair in under an hour. That makes it possible to secure your fence in a single afternoon.
If the weather has exposed a weak post, you can fix it now rather than delaying until spring.
