Removing Vinyl Fence Posts

[@mattg4135]

Cool idea! Thanks for sharing! I also have my posts like yours. Empty vinyl post just set in concrete. No 4x4 inside. Think this will help me because I need to move my fence and Id like to resue the posts!

Can you just slide it back in? I’m only asking because there’s nothing wrong with my post, I just need to remove it so I can get the broken hot tub out of my backyard.

I am wondering the same thing, I have to remove mine to get a BobCat into my backyard.

Yes you ought to be able to we removed an end post this way put an inline post in its place to extend the fence 16'

[@melder5770]

poorly installed fence to start with because the concrete should have come with the post

[@olgajacks]

Can I please ask what’s the name of the tool you use where can I get it

Hey Lollipop! Hope the video helps for your job. If you look at the comments from buzztrucker below your questions are answered. It is a farm jack and I got mine on Amazon. I think I paid about $60. Good luck! -AD

Did this have concrete

[@aarondonat]

Yes the vinyl post was in concrete, but the concrete doesn't stick to the post. It only held it in place. Concrete would've stuck to a wooden post.

good luck doing that with concrete on the base

[@aarondonat]

Thanks, but we didn't need luck. The concrete did not adhere to the vinyl. They slid out pretty easily. Now if we wanted the concrete out too then we would need some luck and hard work. That would require some digging. We decided to break off as much concrete as we could and then buried the remainder.

@@aarondonat thats what I meant. Now you have a bunch of concrete in the ground, but I guess thats for the next homeowners to deal with.

[@buzztrucker]

What is that tool you used and where do I get one?

[@aarondonat]

I just used a farm jack... I slid a 2x4 thru the hole on the post as low as I could... Then I had a cable that I wrapped around the 2x4 and hooked it to the farm jack... After that it was just cranking the lever on the farm jack and it inches out. The concrete has a hard time gripping to the vinyl and it literally inches out. I was surprised how easy it was. You can pick up a farm jack off amazon or at a ranch supply store like Tractor Supply or CAL Ranch. Good Luck! -AD

It's a Farm Jack.. You can get them at Harbor Freight, Northern Tools, Tractor Supply, and even Walmart. Google Farm Jack.

@@aarondonat Thank you so much. I'm doing this today.

You jet the safety gear but your daughter doesn't? Come on man. One quick accident and she will get hurt. Glasses, gloves and boots for all helpers. I would even put a hard hat on her if she is going to hug that post while you jack it out of the ground. You could mess her up bad if that jack hits her in the head.
