How to fix a post with a wicket and gate? It is necessary to press it with a hydraulic jack. Weld all the pillars with a jumper on top, having previously leveled them. That's why it was concreted and popped out, bored piles on permanent formwork 30 cm this winter they went 3 mm flat, in the cold I put a washer in the loop, took it off in the spring, next winter it will clamp them - they won’t walk anymore, not much... You don’t need to do anything with the pole if it’s not crawling out of the ground — redo the hinges and that’s it.

How to level a Eurofence if it is tilted? You can try using a hand winch to level the pillars. But they still need to be concreted in a new way. It’s not like the euro. Just concrete fence Disassemble, remove the pillars and install them as expected (concreting them. Then reassemble them.

Fence posts for old holes? If there were no stones packed around the pillars. Previously, there was a problem with cement - the pillars were strengthened that way. If you pull out the old pillars, then you don’t need to drill. You can. If they are not concreted, you will succeed. My neighbor used a hand drill to make holes under fence posts But it seemed to me more convenient to dig out these holes with a shovel, not with a drill. When you put up new pillars, throw a shovel of crushed stone under each one...

How to move a concrete fence? It will be cheaper to disassemble and rearrange again. But, if you want to suffer, then be patient (let the earth thaw and dry) and start the thankless job - we dig a hole next to each pillar, to the side... Are the boundaries in your favor?, if not, then Call a concrete demolition specialist. On what matter should you answer if you have already STUPIDLY asked Demolish the fence. What else to do

Raise a Fence Post I can't suggest anything better than removing 2 spans of a post. pull out the post, make a gravel or broken brick pillow. put up a pillar. concreted It's not easier to drill a hole for the bolt. Didn't you concrete them? Is your post 40x40? or 60x40? Well, lift it up and pierce the soil inside with the reinforcement, when the reinforcement pushes the soil out of the post and goes ten centimeters deeper, then push a couple of concrete trowels inside and put them in there too...

Is it possible to make fence posts from asbestos-cement pipes? What diameter is better to take a pipe, 100 or 150 mm? Can. The fence in the photo is made of asbestos cement pipes and sheets flat slate. It has been standing for 4 years and, as you can see, it has not cracked, broken or fallen to one side. That's right. Fragile. How to attach the fence to these posts? If you start screwing in a hardware screw or bolt, the hole will collapse, flare out, and the fastener will fall off.
My fence also needs updating and repair. Initially, the poles were installed by workers from Central Asia without taking into account our local climatic conditions. Well, it’s clear that they don’t have winter and they don’t see it here. Open only in summer. Now they dance and rise higher every winter. Thanks to the translation below, I now know how I will extract them from the ground. Everything ingenious is simple. A banal lever and no shovels or big holes in the ground. The main thing is to find a fulcrum and you can turn the Earth upside down. Well, if, of course, it’s really necessary.
I wanted this post to maybe help save someone a little time if they ever need to replace a fence that has wood posts that are set in concrete and don't want to have to dig them out by hand.
Here's the story.
My aging neighbor down the street asked me if I would like to replace about ten leg sections of her old cedar fence and update it in the same style her neighbor just installed. Of course I said yes.
Now, to tell the truth, I'm lazy, and work for it. I wanted to find a way to lift old posts that are embedded in the ground into the concrete without having to resort to digging them out of the ground with a shovel and thus breaking too much sweat in the process. I wanted to be able to reuse the holes for new posts, too, so pulling them up was out of the question since this could lengthen the holes.
After washing the Internet and finding ways to pull posts that would leave a huge hole that would go back and dig up again, or hokey “hold my beer” type of idea using tools I didn’t have such as a tractor or truck wheel rims, or chains, or explosives, I decided that nothing was "out there" in Beatland just enough to satisfy my needs. Yes, I came up with it next idea. I like it because you can pull the post out from one side so you don't need anyone to hold you a beer for you, and then after you've finished pulling the posts you can dismantle the unit and use the parts as new posts when rebuilding a new fence , and using the same holes. Don't dig! No nails. No screws. Can I get an amen?
Step 1: Gather some simple materials
For my/your post pullers, you will need
- Treated 2 4″ x 4″ x 10′ lumber posts
- 2 4″ x 4″ x 1′ processed lumber pieces
- Twenty feet or so reserve parachute cord, twine, rope, wire, whatever
- 1 two leg iron spike or rebar (found at home improvement centers. I used a 3/4″ diameter spike)
- Drill
- a 3/4″ bit (or whatever matches the diameter of your spike)
- Concrete cinder block or timber with a crowbar, or whatever you can find for support.
Step 2: Create Your One-Handed Post Puller
What you want to do is throw two long 4x4s together, sandwiching the two small pieces together as shown in the picture. tie as tight as possible, no a big problem. During use, ropes (paracord) are not used. The cord is simply there to guide the smaller pieces of timber between the longer ones, so that they act as wedges for laying.
Then you want to drill a hole large enough for your spike (in my case, 3/4″) through the end of one of the long 4x4s. Then do the same in the other direction. Measure if you need it, I'm not as I'm quite skilled with the eye/hand. You want the holes to line up so you can press the tenon as shown with little to no resistance.
You're done with the puller! Hard work, right? Or what? (In case you are a Northern brother or sister).
Step 3: Install the Puller on the Old Post
Now you need to drill a hole into the existing post that you want to pull. How high depends on your support material. In my case it was about 15 inches from the ground.
Insert the minus spike puller up to the old post, lining up the holes, and push the spike through the three 4 x 4s as shown.
Now you will need your fulcrum.
Step 4: Add Your Props
Place your fulcrum, in my case an old cinder block and step, as close to the post as possible without covering any of the concrete that the post is on. Just take the supports to the edge of the concrete as shown in the picture.
Step 5: Pull out the EP Post!
Walk to the far end of your puller post, and with one hand hold your drink of choice, use the other hand to press down on the handle lever. See how simple it is?
Step 6: Hard to Get to Medical
Difficult to reach posts are not suitable for your new puller position, either. You can press the tenon through the hole and use a puller from the side as shown in the picture. Worked great! Raised it straight and without damaging the other fence that I have to fight when I restore her fence.
Step 7: Thank you...
Thanks to this wonderful community. I have received a lot of help from instructables in my life and hope this helps someone else.
Thinking is hard, so you can work less!
Everyone has their own fashion and hobbies, and therefore sometimes it’s very nice to find like-minded people, appreciate their stamp collection or skill in a certain game. Here are collected various videos that are dedicated to one or another hobby. It doesn’t matter whether you like chess, tennis, or collecting wild, untamed animals under your roof - here you will be able to find good video- content you like.
Nowadays, one hobby is very popular both online and in reality, accessible mostly only to the female sex - make-up on camera. It will seem to ordinary viewers that in these videos the girls are simply putting on makeup and making a big deal out of a mountain. But in reality, these beauties are showing off their artistic skills, which they have developed over the years. In such videos you can find tips, life hacks, and also highlight many useful points that you missed in your life. Curvy models and their stylists will tell you what eye shadow to choose and what dress to choose to match your hairstyle. For many women, this has become a kind of hobby to which they devote almost their entire lives.
In addition to make-up, many girls simply adore shopping, and therefore often upload their trips to the local store to YouTube. shopping mall, where they shop for clothes and begin to examine and try them on. Such girls often collect a whole collection of different outfits at home, and some could even open their own store and sell clothes for several years - they have so many purchased outfits. And their entire vast collection falls into the camera lens. To be honest, I don’t understand why many girls watch this, but there are clients for such content and it’s a little strange.
However, not only girls love fashion and style and are distinguished by their hobbies; men also have many different hobbies that can amaze to the core. Some people collect napkins from stores, some like to play sports simulators (which is wild in itself), but there are also those who spend their days pestering women and collecting their kisses. At the same time, they prefer to record their adventures on a video camera, and then put the videos on public display and make themselves great machos.
In any case, in our world there are so many different hobbies, activities, affairs, and all of them can captivate a person with a certain mindset for some time, and maybe even for life. There are so many of them that there is simply no point in listing them further. On this page you can find hundreds of different videos, and they can be about anything. After all, how many people there are, so many hobbies. Each person can invent a specific time killer for himself. Sometimes you may even be surprised by what the human brain is capable of when it's bored, but don't be surprised if your own hobbies are strange to someone.
Look at people doing their favorite thing, laugh at the stupidity of what is happening, or emphasize for yourself certain things that you can find applications in your life. Here, for the most part, entertainment, information and stylish video content are collected.
Sooner or later, every owner of a property has a situation where they need to remove a pole from the ground. But how best to do this if the pillar also has a concrete base. In fact, all you need is “golden hands” and a car jack. Here is a method that will solve the problem in less than an hour.
Tools
To remove the post from the ground along with the concrete base, you will need some tools: a car jack and blocks of wood. Large, long bolts and a saw will come in handy. In general and in general, find everything necessary tools won't be difficult. No special gadgets are required for extraction.
Extraction technique
In order to remove the pillar from the ground along with the base, you first need to cut it down so that its height does not exceed 1 meter. Now, to the remaining clean we need to attach a block against which our jack will rest. It must be securely fixed. It's best to use two hefty bolts.
Now you need to prepare the support for the jack. It must rest on free ground and be at some distance from concrete base. To create it, you can use several bars. You should take it with a reserve, since you will gradually need to increase the height of the base.
Otherwise, the technology for removing the pillar is extremely simple. We place the jack on the base and place it under the support, and begin to lift. After some time, when the upward movement of the pillar becomes too difficult, we remove the jack and increase the height of our stand. We put the jack on and turn it. This procedure should be repeated until the bitter end.
Hello to all do-it-yourselfers, as well as summer residents!
Recently, when the snow melted and the ground began to dry out, I ran into one small problem. It consisted in the fact that at the very exit from the garden, next to the gate, a small tubercle came out of the ground. Moreover, the further it went, the higher it became and gradually began to interfere with the passage, and even later, the lower edge of the gate began to cling to it when opening.
When I dug up this tubercle with a shovel, it turned out that it was a wooden stump, or rather, the base of an old wooden post, apparently preserved from the times of the old wooden fence. Moreover, over the past few years, this stump did not show any signs of life, but this spring, for some reason, it began to actively crawl out of the ground.
This is what this stump looks like.
Naturally, there was nothing left to do but uproot this stump.
Moreover, I decided to do this, what is called “little blood” and did not dig around the stump big hole, but simply tapped it with a sledgehammer, shaking it from side to side.
And then, I tried to pull out this stump with a crowbar.
However, this was not the case. It turned out that the stump sits quite firmly in the ground. But most importantly, it seemed to me that when pulling it out with a crowbar, when the crowbar picks up the stump from only one side, it warps, which is why it actually becomes very difficult to pull it out. Moreover, this stump is quite long and sits quite deep, at least 60-70 cm.
As a result, it became obvious that in order to uproot this stump using a crowbar, you need to dig a deeper hole around it (30-40 centimeters deep). However, I really didn’t want to do this, since the ground around the stump is very compacted, and in addition, there are a lot of stones and fragments of bricks that were filled in and compacted when installing the wooden post.
And then another idea came to me. It seemed to me that if I made some kind of powerful metal hook and hammered it into this stump, then by applying a vertical force with a crowbar exactly in the center of the stump, it could be pulled out quite easily.
As a result, I rummaged through old pieces of iron and found this ancient one door handle. Moreover, this handle is quite old, perhaps from the 19th century, since it is forged and quite durable.
Materials and tools for making a simple device
This is what I decided to use to pull out the stump, especially since this handle just fits the diameter of the stump.
In addition to the pen, I needed the following tools and materials:
- Two long wood screws.
- Cordless screwdriver.
- Screwdriver bit RN2, for driving screws into stumps.
The process of pulling out a stump
So, I placed the door handle on top of the end of the stump and screwed it in with two screws.
It must be said that the wood of the stump is rotten on the outside and to a depth of several centimeters, but inside it is still quite strong. Therefore, it is imperative to use long screws. In addition, in order for the screws to withstand high forces, their diameter must be at least 4.5-5 mm.
After that, I pulled the handle, finding that it held quite firmly.
Well, now all that remains is to carefully pry the stump by the handle with a crowbar and pull it out.
And indeed, I began to slowly pull out the stump with a crowbar, applying force exactly in the center of the stump.
As the stump was pulled out, I placed bricks under the other end of the crowbar. Well, in the final stages, I finally pulled the stump out of the hole by hand.
That's all! This is what the pulled out stump looks like.
Moreover, it took me literally half a minute to pull out the stump in this way.
Moreover, I did not immediately remove the handle from the stump, but just holding it by the handle, I took it to the fire, which turned out to be very convenient.
And already on the fire, he unscrewed the handle.
Like this in a simple way, using a simple device made on a quick fix, I managed to quickly and easily uproot a wooden stump from a pole and at the same time significantly save energy and time.
Well, that's all for me! Bye everyone and more simple and effective solutions in chores that save energy and time!
