In the recent Windy weather, part of our fence blew over. Thankfully it was only a spur from the perimeter fence which acts as a "bin bay" for the wheelie bins.
The posts are 3x6" and were rotten in the concrete base, plus several inches above where it snapped. I cut off the rotten wood from the panel, plus a little extra:
Here's what the post holes look like, one of which is cleaned up to a depth of around 8":
How would you recommend repairing this? I've got zero experience when it comes to fence repair, so wanted to check in before starting work. I've purchased some replacement 3x6" treated timber, which I could theoretically fit straight back into the post hole - but I'd be wary about it rotting again so quickly.
Would I be better off chiselling away some of the existing concrete around the hole and then re-setting the post in that with new concrete? I'd guess that would be the way to do it, but perhaps there is something I'm missing.
