I'm guessing this bolts to the rotted post above ground and spike gets concreted in at approx 6 inch clearance from the base of the post?

 

How much do they cost?

£17   much better price that i paid for the concrete repair post i bought from wickes a few years ago (think i paid £45 each)

and i had to knock out half the concrete as they didn't dog leg but they did work and the fence is still up  i do wonder if the spike is stronge enough to hold up a heavy  fence

I doubt it honestly. And 17 is way too expensive. I can get a spur for £7

from £17 or we can wholesale. we have now passed the 20,000 mark sold in the UK.

They basically dog-leg around the concrete attached to the fence.

Spot on, too dear. 4”Spurs about £8 here plus bolts and will keep the heaviest fence up

The Unique Easy repair fence spike is a unique design that dog legs around the concrete at the foot of the post

hence over 20,000 units sold

I can see these as being a prettier solution for those who want the look of a timber fence but with a low visual impact durability that doesn't involve bolting a repair spur to a post. 

 

Question is how strong are they? What's their lifespan. They look like painted steel...

 

Knowing what I know I would want 2 of these bolted either side of a post for a 200cm height fence that is subject to windy conditions and that gets EXPENSIVE, that is even if they work. 

 

Far cheaper to get some thick angle iron and cut it into 3ft lengths and drill holes for coach screws and bolt 2 to each timber post IMHO.
