I have a 4' tall chainlink fence held up by 20 wooden fenceposts. The
chainlink is as good as new. The 4x4 wooden posts are set in concrete. They
are about 20 years old and many, especially in damp areas, have rotted
through just above the concrete footing.

I have bought a bunch of heavy duty metal fenceposts at the HD. They are 6'
tall and have a "spade" at the bottom. They have nail holes so they could be
nailed to the upper part of the wooden posts.

The problem is how to get them 2' into the ground next to the old fencepost.
The concrete footing is in the way. I have tried a sledge hammer but can't
get them in.

Anybody know how to cope with wooden fenceposts that are rotted out at the
base??

Thanks
