One or more hinging fence post assemblies comprising a section of hinging fence posts that when met with lateral pressure will release or break a support mechanism allowing the posts to go from a generally vertical position to a generally horizontal position on the ground via a hinge mechanism. The pressure at which the support mechanism releases or breaks, and the posts hinge down, is adjustable. The lower base post will stay in place in the ground, while the longer upper post will have hinged from a generally vertical position to a generally horizontal position on the ground allowing the fence materials to remain attached to the upper post. When desired, the upper post can be quickly raised into its upright position.
