Timber Fencing Construction with Resak Wood - Epi. 2

This weekend I got around to removing the old chainlink fence to put up the new timber fence, but I got interrupted by rain. I managed to get the chainlink down, but only managed to get the main framework of the wooden fence up, which is the hardest part of the job anyway.

Chainlink fences are held up with these iron bolts, which have a habit of rusting through and fusing together so that it's impossible to get them off with a wrench.





Break out the trusty angle grinder then, for some heavy duty metal cutting action. Here's how you get those dang bolts off:

Cut off the 'tail' off the bolt


When you're done with that, cut the nut in half


Whack the nut with a hammer and it breaks in two. Then you just hammer the stub out.


Great success...



Repeat that till you've got all of them out. Now with all the bolts out, removing the fence is easy peasy.
