Abstract: The invention constitutes an apparatus and method for inexpensively, repairing wooden fences which fence posts have rotted or failed. The apparatus comprises segment of 90 degree angle iron or angle aluminum or similarly tough angle hardware, which is generally comprised of two flanges joined along a common edge. The flanges have a plurality of holes drilled or punched in the flanges for bolting the flange to a wooden fence post. The lower end of the angle hardware is pointed or sharpened or both pointed and sharpened to facilitate the angle hardware being driven into the ground or partially cleaned out fence post cavity in a concrete fence post base. The hardware may be used to support a new fence post by either setting the hardware piece in the ground by driving or hammering it in to the ground or it may be set in cement and then have a fence post attached to it.
