Last summer I helped my neighbor remove chain link between our properties.
He cut the posts off a few inches below grade using an angle grinder with
cutting disk. Very easy and quick. A couple of old posts were in the way of
the new vinyl fence posts and had to be dug up. He dug around as much as
possible and soaked with water then pulled them up with chain attached to an
ATV.

Hello,

I bought a house that has a chain link fence only on one side of the back
yard.. I discovered that this is actually my neighbors "former" fence but
they built a wooden fence on their side of it.

Now, there are tons of large weeds that grow between their wooden fence
and
the old chain link that can't be accessed. I would like to remove the
chain
link fence and just use the back of their wooden fence as the common
separation.

With his permission, of course, what is the best way to remove those
posts?
I can cut the chain link off, but the posts seem to be pretty solid.
Should
they just be dug up, or cut at the base?

Thoughts? Experiences?
