Hi all,

The windy weather has only just started and one of my fence posts has
blown down. It has rotted at ground level. I have dug out the
remaining wood in preperation for the new post. The post was hammered
into one of these metal post spikes which was then encased in concrete.

Therein lies part of the problem, don't encase it in concrete/cement.
