Hi all,
My garden is raised relative to the neighbour's with a block retaining wall. The fence separating the two gardens runs along the retaining wall with the posts going into concreted in met post holders in the wall itself.
Time has come to replace the 10 panel fence and the posts (want a taller, non rotten fence). Ideally I'd like to reuse the metpost supports. I know the trade doesn't like them but they are in the perfect position, don't wobble and I'd rather not get involved with my neighbour's retaining wall if I can help it.
As such, how to? They aren't the type with bolts to loosen. I've read that cutting flush, drilling them and chiselling them out is the only way, any other suggestions?
