Fence work

Anybody have any ideas on how to stabilize a wooden privacy fence post that is starting to lean that is somewhat incognito? I use T posts with a 2x4 on the backside near the woods but this would be on the front of my house

Is the post itself starting to pull from its original position and lean?
I’d probably just remove the post and add in a metal post and pour some concrete around it

regardless if it's leaning b/c it's warped or b/c the ground shifted, the proper way to fix it is to replace the post.

sucks but, that's what i've done and I'm preparing to do it again after Francine.
I've been told a trail jack is a good tool for removing posts but, i've yet to use on.

If you mean a “hi-lift Jack”, that is what I use and make removing the posts relatively easy. They are also called farm jacks.

yeah, i dunno what it's actually called but, a coworker offered to let me use his to remove fence pots.

I used one of those cork screw things you use to leash a dog on. Put it in the ground and used a couple of ratchet straps. From the top of the 4X4 to the ground connected to the cork screw. Thru time it finally corrected itself.
