My fence is also required to update and repair. Initially hired workers from Central Asia pillars were established without taking into account our local climatic conditions. Well, it is clear from them the winter does not happen and here they do not see it. Work only in summer. Now they are danced and every winter is raised above. Thanks to the translation under review, I now know how I will get them out of the ground. All ingenious simply. Banal lever and no shovel and large holes in the ground. The main thing is to find the point of the support and can be turned over the ground. Well, of course, it is very necessary.

I wanted this post to, possibly help someone save a little time, if they ever need to replace the fence that has wooden poles that are installed in concrete, and do not want to dig them manually.

Here is a story.

My most aging neighbor in the street asked me if I would like to replace about ten foot sections from her old cedar fence and update it in the same style of her neighbor just installed. Of course I said yes.

Now, in truth, I'm lazy, and work on it. I wanted to find a way to raise the old pillars, which are covered in the ground, in Concrete, without resorting to digging them from the ground, and thereby breaking too much in the process. I wanted to be able to re-use holes for new posts, it also pulls their activities out of question, as it can lengthen the holes.

After washing the Internet and find ways to pull posts to leave a huge hole, to return back and rejuvenated, or Hoki "Hold my beer" like ideas with the help of tools I did not have such as a tractor or truck wheel rim, or chains, Or explosives, I decided that nothing was "there" in Bitland just enough to satisfy my needs. So, I came up with the next idea. I like it because you can pull the post on one side, so you don't need anyone to keep you beer for you, and after you have finished pulling posts, you can dismantle the device and the use of spare parts as new posts when rebuilding a new fence , and, using the same holes. Do not dig! No nails. No screws. Can I get Amen?

Step 1: Collect a few simple materials

On my / your post puller, you will need

• Tried 2 4 "x 4" x 10 'Lumber Posts
• 2 4 "x 4" x 1 'Timber treated pieces
• Twenty feet or so spare parachute cord, twine, rope, wire, regardless of
• 1 Two legs iron spike or fittings (located in home improvement centers. I used 3/4 "spike diameter)
• Drill
• and 3/4 "bit (or what corresponds to the diameter of your spike)
• Concrete slag block or bar scrap, or everything you can find for support.

Step 2: Create your one hand post puller

What you want to do is pounce two long 4x4 together, glorifying two small pieces together, as shown in the picture. Tie as much as possible, not a big problem. During use, the ropes (Paraconord) are not used. The cord is simply there to spend smaller pieces of timber between long, so they act like wedges for laying.

Then you want to drill a hole large enough for your spike (in my case, 3/4 ") through the end of one of the long 4x4. Then do the same to the other side. Measure, if you need, I'm not as I am quite experienced eye / hand. You want holes to build up so, you can click on the spike, as shown almost without resistance.

You did with the pool! Heavy work, yes? Or what? (In case you are a northern brother or sister).

Step 3: Install the puller on the old post

Now you need to drill a hole in the existing post you want to pull. How high it depends on your support material. In my case it was about 15 inches from the ground.

Insert the reservoir minus the column to the old post, aligning the hole, and push the spike after three 4 x 4, as shown.

Now you need your point of support.

Step 4: Add your supports

Place your point of support, in my case the old slagoblock and step, as close as possible to the post, as it is possible, without covering any of the concrete that the post is on. Just take supports to the edge of the concrete, as shown in the picture.

Step 5: Pull the EP!

Walking at the far end of your post of removal, and keep your drink your drink, use another hand to press down on the handle lever. See how easy it is?

Step 6: It is difficult to get to medical

It is difficult to achieve posts are not suitable for your new post reserves, or. You can click on the spike through the hole, and with the help of the puller from the side, as shown in the figure. Worked perfectly! Raised it straight and without prejudice to other fence, that I have a duel when I restore her fence.

Step 7: Thank you ...

Thanks to this wonderful community. I got a lot of help from Instructables, which is in my life, and I hope that someone else helps.

Think difficult, so you can work less!

Last summer, at the cottage, we needed to pull out of the ground to us with a 1.5 m column as a steel pipe with a diameter of 120 mm. There was no tools at hand, and I did not want to feed the pipe under the drizzling rain. And then I had the idea of \u200b\u200bhow to do.

Vertically, a long scrap was put vertically, the lower end of which was at a short distance from the ground, tightly wrapped the pipe and scrap two or three times with a rope car moistened with water, and put to trumpet. Emphasis in the form of a small log cabin (Fig. 1).

Then the son turned scrap For its upper end perpendicular to the post. The rope ring strongly appealed to a pillar and scrap, which, having reached the stop, became a lever (Fig. 2). With his son, his son pulled the post for a short distance from the ground. After that, scrap was returned to its original position and lowered down the post along with the rope ring at a distance equal to the height to which the pillar was pulled out, and the operation was repeated.

Thus, several times the pillar was able to remove from the ground without the use of any special mechanisms or its feeding.

If the pillar is very sits in the ground, it is better to use two scrap (or other levers) that you need to put to the pole from different sides and wrap one common rope. In this case, two stops are used, and the leaks (levers) are rotated in opposite sides by two employees (Fig. 3).

Hello all homemade workers, as well as dacnis!

Recently, when the snow melted, and the Earth began to push, I ran into one small problem. It was that at the very exit from the garden, a small tubercle came next to the wicket from the ground. And the further, the fact that he became higher and gradually began to interfere with the passage, and even later, it began to cling to the lower edge of the wicket when opened.

When I lookedching this tubercle to the shovel, it turned out that it was a wooden stump, or rather, the base of the old wooden pillar, apparently preserved since the time of the old wooden fence. And over the past few years, this stump did not give any signs of life, and this spring, for some reason began to actively get out of the ground.

Here is what this penal looks like.

Naturally, nothing remained to do how to harde this penneck.

Moreover, I decided to do this, what is called "low blood" and did not dig, around Stump is a great hole, but I just knocked a sledgehammer on him, loosening him from side to side.

And then, I tried to pull this pennouncement scrap.

However, it was not there. It turned out that the pencil sits in the ground quite firmly. But most importantly, it seemed to me that when pulling out scrap, when scrap is making a penneck only from one side, he is thrown out, because of what, in fact, it becomes very difficult to pull out. Moreover, this funeral is quite long and sits quite deeply, at least 60-70 cm.

As a result, it became obvious that for the emergence of this hemp with a scrap, you need to dig up a deeper pit (centimeters on 30-40 depth) around it). However, I really didn't want to do it, because the land around the stump is very tightly tamped, and in addition, there are full of stones and bricks, which fell asleep and rubbed when installing a wooden pillar.

And then I came another idea. It seemed to me that if you make any powerful metal hook and score him into this stump, then I attached a vertical effort exactly in the center of the hemp, it would be possible to pull it enough.

As a result, I rummaged in old glands and found this ancient door handle. Moreover, this handle, very old, perhaps another 19th century, because it is forged and rather durable.

Materials and tools for the manufacture of simple fixture

Here it is her, I decided to use to pull a hemp, especially since this handle is just suitable on the diameter of the stump.

In addition to the handle, I needed the following tools and materials:

• Two long wood screws.
• Rechargeable screwdriver.
• Screwdriver pH2, for wrapping screws in a stump.

The process of pulling out the stump

So, I put a door handle from above to the face of Stump and brought it with two screws.

It must be said that the wood stump, outside and the depth of several centimeters is fallen, but inside, it is still quite durable. Therefore, it is necessary to use long screws. In addition, the screws can withstand a lot of force, their diameter should be at least 4.5-5 mm.

After that, I pulled out for the handle, finding out that it keeps quite firmly.

Well, now, it remains only to carefully pose stump scrap behind the handle and pull it out.

And indeed, I began to slowly pull the stump scrap, making an effort exactly in the center of the stump.

As the stump pulled out, I put the bricks for the other end of scrap. Well, and in the last stages, I finally pulled out the stump out of the pit.

That's all! This is how the dotted stump looks like.

And I went to pull the stump in this way, literally half a minute.

Moreover, I did not immediately remove the handle from the stump, and rightly keeps him the handle, carried it to the bonfire, which turned out very convenient.

And already on the fire, unscrew the handle.

This in a simple way, with the help of a simple fitting made to the ambulance hand, I managed quickly quickly and easily hardened the wooden stump from the post and at the same time to significantly save strength and time.

Well, on this I have everything! All while there are plenty of simple and effective solutions in the economic work, saving strength and time!

Sooner or later, each host on the site arises such a situation when it is necessary to extract a pillar from the ground. But how it is better to do if a pillar is in addition - a concrete base. In fact, everything you need is "golden hands" and a car jack. Here is a way that will solve the problem less than an hour.

Instruments

To extract a pillar from the ground, together with a concrete base, some instruments will be needed: car jack and tree bars. Great, long bolts and saw. In general, both in general, finding all the necessary tools will not be difficult. Special gadgets for extracting will not be required.

Extraction technique

In order to remove the post from the ground along with the base, it should be cutting into it so that its height does not exceed 1 meter. Now, to the remaining clever, you need to attach a bar, which will be resting our jack. It must be securely fixed. Best of all two hefty bolts.

Now you need to prepare a support for the jack. It must be relying on the free land and be at some distance from the concrete base. You can use several bars to create it. You should take a stock, as it will be gradually it will be necessary to increase the height of the base.

The rest of the pillar extraction technology is extremely simple. We put the jack on the base and sway under the focus, start raising. After some time, when the movement of the post up will be too complicated, we remove the jack and increase the height of our stand. We put the jack - cool. This procedure should be repeated to a victorious end.

This is a great way to remove a pillar along with a concrete basis without making great effort. This method can be quite suitable not only for wooden, but also for steel columns. To care for your strength and create a powerful pulling force, a car jack will be applied.

Pull out a pole along with a concrete base

Spilize the pillar, leaving it about a meter height. Of course, it is not necessary to do this, but in the future it will be more convenient to work with part that will be removed from the ground.

From the sawing part from cutting a bar and drill two holes in it.

Clamp temporarily attach a bar to the post.

Through the same holes, we continue drill the pillar itself. All of course you can drill and at a time, but maybe not quite comfortable.

Next, score studs on wood, or long bolts.

From the thick boards, we prepare the base for the support of the jacks. The support should be based on the free ground, at some distance from the concrete base.

Place the timber. It must be reliable and to withstand considerable efforts without a strong deflection.

We put the jack and we rest in the screwed bar.

As the pillar exits from the Earth, we put the bars, as the jack trip is not enough at once.

We bring the jack, repeat the procedure.

It can be seen as a pillar comes out. Next, put the bars even.

As soon as a large half of the concrete base came out of the ground, the pillar can be poured the side.

That's all. A lot of strength and time here did not need

After the post, one fairly equal groove remained, which, by the way, can be reused.

A simple method for the emergence of intake pillars, I personally came to my soul.
As for steel structures, all the same actions, except that instead of drilling and bolts, you can apply welding.
As you can see in this example, the concrete base has the form of a cone, which significantly facilitated the task. If the base is done step with an increase in to the bottom, then this method is also quite suitable. Except that in this case, the pillar will have to pull up to the very end.
