I have added an additional post a foot or two offset from the original posts that were rotting at ground level. 70 MPH winds cracked off two cedar posts in a tall wood shadow box style privacy fence. The fence and posts were still in good condition from the ground up, but all the posts were already fairly rotted at or below ground level. Installing another set of posts eliminated having to tear apart the old fence to replace the old posts.
A clam shell post digger and post hole spade worked to dig the post holes even with the edge of the fence. I used pressure treated 4x4s for the new posts, bolted the new posts to the existing fence rails, back filled the posts, trimmed off the tops and then stained the new posts to match the rest of the fence. I lucked out as the existing cedar stain was easy to match with an off the shelf stain, so only the new posts needed to be stained, using less than a quart of stain on nine new posts.

One of us would sit on the left fender (away from the clutch) and other would sit on the gas tank and hold onto the crankcase breather pipe.
