Leaning fence posts.

[Barnes]

Moved into our new house in November and a few weekends ago, put in some fence posts with my neighbor. Now with all the rain this week 2 of them are starting to lean. Anything I can do? They're between 30 and 36 inches down 4x4s, one with 2 bags of post haste and one with 4.

Edit: Mods please move to off topic. Sorry.

Little confused. Did you cement them in??

If they were done with post haste, they should have been set up as not to move within an hour. My guess they weren't done well.

Get an old school car jack and get them out. Then get regular cement, line them up right, and once they are in place make sure you pack the cement down well to make sure it goes into all the crevaces. My guess is the post haste hit something on the way down, set up in a few minutes, and then left a big empty spot below.

They were set up properly and level until all the rain started. The ground around the posts is starting to crack and the posts are going with them. It is between our two houses where the utilities are run. I thought I had let enough time and water hit the area to settle the ground but I guess not.

Not looking forward to fixing this one.
