several feet of pole with an

could be epoxied in to connect the pole with it's extension. Welding might
be a better solution than epoxy.

Welding must be followed by a zinc-rich paint to avoid rusting. Epoxy
wouls eliminate that step. HTH

Welding galvanized steel creates toxic fumes. Don't want to
try if you're a beginner.

so it sounds like the only real way to do this is to pull and replace
with longer poles..if 7-8 feet above grade how much should be buried?- Hide quoted text -

Inspectors here must measure your hole depths before you set the posts
and it should be minimum 42 inches. Even at this depth I have had
frost heave bad enough to keep the gates from working, I should have
went 48 inches. I had to raise the latches on all the gates about 2
inches this spring. Your codes may differ.
