How to remove the remains of a metal pole from the ground. Repairing the fence


This is a great way to remove a post along with concrete base without putting in much effort. This method can be quite suitable not only for wooden but also for steel poles. To save your strength and create a powerful pulling force, a car jack will be used.

We pull out the pillar along with the concrete base

We cut down the pillar, leaving it about a meter high. This, of course, is not necessary, but in the future it will be more convenient to work with the part that will be removed from the ground.


Cut a block from the sawn part and drill two holes in it.


Using a clamp, temporarily attach the block to the post.


We will continue to drill the pillar itself through the same holes. Of course, everything can be drilled at once, but it may not be entirely convenient.


Next, we hammer in wood studs or long bolts.


We prepare a base for supporting the jacks from a thick board. The support should rest on free ground, at some distance from the concrete base.


We lay down the timber. It must be reliable and withstand significant forces without severe deflection.


We place the jack and rest it against the screwed block.


As the pillar comes out of the ground, we place blocks, since the jack's stroke at one time is not enough.


We bring the jack together and repeat the procedure.



You can see the pillar coming out. Next we add more bars.


As soon as more than half of the concrete base has come out of the ground, the pillar can be tilted on its side.


That's all. It didn't take a lot of time or effort.



After the post, there remains one fairly equal groove, which, by the way, can be reused.



A simple method for uprooting fence posts without extra effort I personally really liked it.
As for steel structures, then the steps are the same, except that instead of drilling and bolts, welding can be used.
As you can see in in this example The concrete base has the shape of a cone, which made the task much easier. If the base is made as a step with an increase towards the bottom, then this method is also quite suitable. Except that in this case the pole will have to be pulled out to the very end. Last summer, at the dacha, my son and I needed to pull out of the ground a 1.5 m pillar driven into it in the form steel pipe diameter 120 mm. There were no tools at hand, and I didn’t want to dig out the pipe in the drizzling rain. And then the idea occurred to me how to do it.

A long crowbar was applied vertically to the pipe, the lower end of which was at a short distance from the ground, the pipe and the crowbar were tightly wrapped two or three times with a rope moistened with water, and placed pipe a stop in the form of a small stump of a log (Fig. 1).

Then the son turned scrap at its upper end perpendicular to the post. The rope ring strongly compressed the post and the crowbar, which, having reached the stop, became a lever (Fig. 2). With his help, the son pulled the pole a short distance out of the ground. After this, the crowbar was returned to its original position and lowered down the post along with the rope ring to a distance equal to the height to which the post was pulled out, and the operation was repeated.

Thus, over several times, the pillar was removed from the ground without the use of any special mechanisms or digging it up.

If the pole sits very firmly in the ground, it is better to use two crowbars (or other levers), which need to be placed on the pole from different sides and wrapped around one common rope. In this case, two stops are used, and the crowbars (levers) are turned in opposite directions by two workers (Fig. 3).

  • Summer shower, undoubtedly, contributes to a pleasant and comfortable pastime at the dacha. This type of shower is used mainly during the summer holiday season. After all, the shower itself is not insulated and the water cannot be
  • When building an extension with a carport or a gazebo on the site, you have to install poles. They must be positioned strictly vertically and correct height. And many people know
  • You can saw off a beam or board at a right angle or an angle of 45°, cut a pipe with a diameter of more than 50 mm, or bend a pipe in a home workshop using simple tools.
  • If the site is in the forest, then digging up the soil is very slow, taking a lot of effort, large and small roots of trees and shrubs that grow on the site. I decided to make a rooter that I could use
  • I recommend it to all gardeners, gardeners and owners small plots land, acquire a universal tool for marking furrows - a sliding marker.

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 pushed out, the bored piles on the permanent formwork 30cm thick this winter swayed by 3mm exactly, in the cold I put a washer in the loop, removed it 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 doesn’t come 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 a concrete fence. Disassemble, remove the pillars and install them as expected (concrete. Then reassemble.

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 for fence posts. But it seemed more convenient to me dig out these holes not with a drill, but with a shovel. 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.

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.

Nowadays, one hobby is very popular both online and in reality, accessible mostly only to the female sex - make-up on camera.

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.

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, which is called “little blood”, and did not dig a large hole around the stump, 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 more around it deep hole(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, on late stages, I finally pulled the stump out of the hole with my 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 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, with the help of a simple device made in haste, I was able 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!
