The old fence is 8x15ft bays of 6ft6" high 4x4" softwood. Some have rotted now after 37 years and the closeboard panels were second hand then. I can erect the new fence and increase total length to 19x 6ft bays 6ft 6" high.
I will cut old posts at ground level after new fence completed.
I will probably now hand dig the new smaller holes. After all I managed to dig the larger original ones although I was younger then.
Thats a strange size 15ft bays.
Must of worked thou, done well to get 37yrs out off timber, wont get that nowadays anyway.
Id imagine that will be a pain as every now and again ur new posts will be on top of ur old posts.
Before u cut all ur old posts id double check with a tape where ur new posts are going.
Sometimes easier to get the post and concrete out with post still attached even just to shoogle the post a bit.
If u do need the concrete out a cheapy big sds drill/breaker can be a god send.
Have u had a price yet??
Id imagine u could be pretty dear at 6ft.
Id be sitting down for it anyway
I definately wouldnt like the post/feet set up my folks have at 6ft high.
Im old school so like a chunky 4" post, those modern posts just dont seem a lot of material holding them.
But they obviously have tested them.
Id price some 8ft 6 or 9ft Uc 4 timber posts.
Meant to be a 25+ yr warranty with them.
Gives u a bit more flexability with post siteing, can shorten a bay a few " or even feet easily if makes it easier digging.
Have I been shadow banned?
6ft feather edge on three arris rails.
