Claims

What is claimed is:

1. A fence post holder is a sleeve that covers the portion of a fence post that is buried in the ground. After the fence post holder has been buried, it can receive a 4Γ—4 wood fence post or three different sizes of galvanized pipe. The rigid construction of the sleeve allows for the easy removal and replacement of damaged or broken posts. The detachable fins provide a more stable base for the fence post holder during installation and their use is optional.
