#fence #post #diy #diytutorial
HEY, In this video i will be removing an old rotten gate post that hasa seen better days I will also be replaing the post with a new Tanilised Post which i purchased from walkers timber in Huddersfield west yorkshire a great family run timber yard .
Rremving posts that have rotted is not a an easy task and not for the fiant hearted but you will get a good work out and ache for a while after tuging and towing with the post .
some posts will just slide out however in this case the post was just too far gone in the ground to get out in one shot . also being inbetween the drive and garden wall was best to keep the integraty of the wall and drive making less damage to repair .

I have an alternative technique. I use a plate with an eye with 4 holes in the plate. Find the good wood in the old post and then screw the plate in using the longest screws you have. Use an old log as a pivot and use an 8 foot post as the lever. Have the log as close to the old post hole as you can and then use strong webbing to attach the end of the 8 foot post through the eye of the plate. Send the webbing round a couple of times for strength. Set up the lever and then stand (jump up and down) on the far end of the post and lever the remains of the old post out. Comes out like extracting a big tooth. If it's still firm, drill down with a long bit between the concrete hole and the old wood all the way round to loosen is from the hole 👍

Hi, yes I've seen this method in practice. Unfortunately the post was too far gone to attach anything too . Resembled pulled pork all the way down
