Securing fence post pipe inside a larger one
Hi. The end post of a fence Im installing was too large in diameter so the fence supplier advised me to cut it down and install a smaller diameter pipe inside. Problem is, theres concrete in the larger pipe and the smaller pipe can only sit inside about 6 deep.
Can anyone suggest a specific product for what to put into the larger pipe to secure the smaller one? I was thinking epoxy or even squirt a whole tube of Liquid Nails in there, but really not sure what to put.

If you cant find an intermediate pipe that fits, get some more of the too large one, cut it length wise with an angle grinder and squeeze it in a vice so it slides inside the outer one. Or just some flat steel square strips to make the inner tube solid in the outer and hammer them in and still weld it. If you cant weld, still do it that way but epoxy the steel inside the outer. |

Theodore I wonder if any type of epoxy would break apart because of the temperature changes and stress changes on the post. What about some sort of shim, bushing, or wedge? Maybe a flanged bushing. You could wedge the inner pipe against just one side of the outer one. I doubt it needs to be centered. I was going to suggest a couple pieces of redi rod. Use them like bolts to hold the inner pipe in position. Drill one hole near the concrete and the other near the top of the bigger pipe. Drill them parallel to the fence line. |
