I will install gravel boards and then re-use the

The panels are nailed into the posts. Can anyone
recommend a method for removing the panels without
damaging them. I have tried running a loose hacksaw
blade
down the sides of the panels but the panels are such a
tight fit that the blade jams and buckles. My jigsaw
does
not have long enough blades and if it did they would
probably jam and buckle also.

Aren't the heads of the nails accessible?


Stuart, the heads of the nails are driven flush into the
softwood edge strips.
Davy

Centre-punch the heads and drill 'em off, then use a small punch to drive
them in.

They're probably a bit rusted to the panels.
