Top tip ! Move all the fence posts along a foot or so, no need for digging up the old stuff.Originally posted by TimberWolf View PostWise words.
My Mother thought an estimate of £100 too expensive so decided that I could replace two panels for her when I next visited instead. The panels themselves are a doddle to replace, it’s the posts that are a nightmare. Removing about a cubic foot of concrete a foot down isn’t quick or fun. My tip is not to even try to chip away at the concrete unless you have heavy duty power tools – it took me three hours per post. You need to dig around the concrete mass and pull the thing out whole. Putting a new post in is easy though, you can buy a bag of post concrete for that and it sets in minutes.

Must have been. They'd be out of business if they were asking £700 nicker for a days hireComment
