Anyone know if there is a way to extend the standrad metal poles that
support fencing via some type of collar or splice kit? I need to
extend existing in ground, in concrete poles due to change of
elevation in my yard. Cannot pull and rebury longer - need to work
with what is there - 8' poles, with 6' showing.

Thanks

You could take your pole sections to a muffler
shop and get the tech to swage "expand" one
end of the pipe so it can slip over the pipe
that is in the ground. The new section can be
attached with large TEK screws. The machines
used by the muffler shop looks like these:

You can get a manual exhaust pipe expanding tool
at many auto parts supply stores. Looks like:

Personally I would have a muffler shop do the
pipes if I had more than a few.

Not a bad thought, but...

I doubt the muffler shop machine can do the thick (compared to muffler
stock) wall pipe...

The machines are quite powerful, you can always
ask the shop owner to try.

I'm thinking more of the die sets...

How about just getting a larger diameter, and dropping it over the old pipe?
With a six-foot overlap, it is unlikely to go anywhere, but drilling a hole
and putting a pin through it should take care of tornadoes and kids getting
obnoxious.

Is this a "Chain link" fence.. If so, These might work, YMMV
