Question

Anyone tried removing concrete garden fence post? I can’t find any videos showing concrete post, most posted in YouTube are wooden ones. Thanks

Answer 1

If you get lucky, then will just be bedded in and can be dug out with a bit of graft. If you're unlucky, then it'll be concreted in and there's a massive ball of it underground. Most of ours were just beded in and came straight out. The corner post (with a 45 degree angled supporting post) is completely concreted in. I'm contemplating leaving that one in and just working around it. Good luck  

Answer 2

We had a washing post that was concrete, we just pushed & wiggled till it was loose enough to pull out, took a while but came out whole which was what we wanted

Answer 3

May i say we have 7 neighbours and most have fences, we have got both. Go the concrete. We are now negotiating that a star picket is not ideal with his guard dog woofing all night and jumping on this unstable fence. Rant and opinion Done X

Answer 4

Backhoe job my friend.  

Answer 5

I removed old fence the metal post went down and then had bit went the other way so by the time I had dug out had a hole 18 inches in all directions

Answer 6

Typically the advice is to submerge about 1/3 of the fence post in post mix - so you could be looking at a 2-3 foot hole you'd have to excavate. We've used a farm jack to remove shrubs - if you can get underneath the concrete on one side the jack might be enough to lift it out?  

Answer 7

Thanks for all your comments. Sounds a lot of work  

Answer 8

We have done a few in the past, we use a farm jack and chisel a square edge all the way round then chain it up. Put a block of wood under the farm jack and start cranking

Answer 9

We didn't pull ours out, we used the holes that were already through them to attach wooden posts to, we used coach bolts and it's held up really well in the last year

Answer 10

Hire a breaker. 15 pound a day. Smash up the concrete at the bottom and then they will lift out
