Review of FenceMender

The below small article is a review of FenceMender, check it out:

"The “FenceMender” works, the others do not. The “FenceMender” (USA Made!) two-piece sleeve has definitely performed better than the black or the green unit; the black unit being sold in Home Depot, and the green unit sold in Lowe’s. Don’t be fooled by these copies or foreign knock-offs, they are very difficult to install. They don’t fit into the old concrete hole, once they are installed, the fence still wobbles, and they often times break the concrete, whereas the “FenceMender” worked every time without flaw. Why we have to buy these on the internet concerns me, but having used them again and again, they are very easy to install and last for years. This definitely helps the handyman repair market to pick up some side dollars, or a contractor experience high profits without concerns, let alone the added value of not replacing the fence, thereby not compromising our “GREEN Environment”. This is definitely the “GREEN” efficient way of fixing fences, and saving our wood resources."

Repair a Leaning Fence or Rotted Fence Posts

Another article about Fencemenders:

"Repairing a broken fence post or fixing a rotten post can be done without taking out the old post or fence boards. Many fences sag because their posts rot within a few years of installation and if you go to the trouble and expense of replacing the post or even the whole fence, the posts can rot again in another 5-10 years. We came across a product called Fencemender that works by placing two sleeves down into the concrete or dirt next to the posts. You then nail the sleeves to the post. It is easy to do and takes about 10-20 minutes.

We found that the knock-offs that are on the market don’t have the locking ability of the Fencemender as they tend to wobble and are difficult to place in the concrete as the hammer would slip off while attempting to drive them into the ground. The Fencemender created a fully structurally sound and straight post.

While the do-it-yourself homeowner can easily install the Fencemender, it is worth the handyman’s consideration to think about installing them as a business. An installer may charge between $30.00 to $50.00 per post to replace with a new post. A Fencemender costs between $10.00 to $20.00 with a $30.00 to $40.00 profit for about 10-20 minutes per post. There is an opportunity for anyone thinking about going into the repair business. Adding leaning fence post repair or rotted fence post repair can bring in 10k to 20k a month just for a standard work day. This could be a perfect business for anyone in between jobs or even retired people looking to make some side money.

We found that the company will work with you and contracting discounts are available for larger quantities. It’s really interesting that they haven’t franchised this idea sooner, it seems like such a no brainer. The Fencemender has been around for about 25 years with about 2 million installed in California alone. Why they didn’t venture across the US sooner, we don’t know, but now it’s available and ready to be shipped right to your door. If you are interested, check out this website: www.fencemender.com"
