Title: Re-using Fence Posts
Post by: CSChris89 on July 19, 2020, 12:17

So I’m just about to replace all of my fence posts in my garden as most of them have rotted at ground level but the 6ft of timber above ground level is in good condition.

I don’t really want to throw them away and wondered if anyone had any ideas on how I could re-use these at my allotment?

Could you run them by a saw into 4 pieces in their length & put a point on the end of each one , they’re the sort of size I use regularly for holding up the leaves of the potatoes , making temporary enclosures etc
