How to Remove Fence Panel Without Breaking?
I need to remove some fence panels that were erected on
earth without gravel boards by the previous owner of my house. I will install gravel boards and then re-use the panels. 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. cheers Davy |

You don't need much gap for a hack saw blade. regards -- Tim Lamb |

Stuart, the heads of the nails are driven flush into the softwood edge strips. Davy Slip a filling/stripping knife between the panel and post and wiggle it until you've got enough play to get a padsaw in. Or use a tack lifter or nail puller on the nails. |

They're probably a bit rusted to the panels. -- Peter. You don't understand Newton's Third Law of Motion? It's not rocket science, you know. |

Stuart, the heads of the nails are driven flush into the softwood edge strips. You could try prizing the edge strip away from the post, then knocking it back, often the nails heads will pop enough for you to get a pry bar on. Failing that, buy a Shark pry bar like this http://www.rutlands.co.uk/cgi-bin/psProdDet.cgi/212220 Larger B&Q's sell them. I've not found anything that works as well as this brand. You can hammer the prongs under the nail & lever it out. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

DAvy Should be possible once the head is removed. Driving the nail through the wood or moving the wood over the nail - same thing, relatively. It's just that a sharp blow on the headless nail will utilise the mass of the fence whereas trying to lever off a panel will probably break the panel. -- Peter.

Sounds like an ideal job for a reciprocating saw. I have this one which works pretty well for the money: http://www.screwfix.com/prods/48640/...iprocating-Saw |

If you can see where the nails are then just go straight in between post and panel.. I took a complete corrugated garage roof off by cutting through the fixing nails which were 5 - 6mm in diam. It was a few hours work and I only went through a couple of blades in the process, I cannot imagine fence nails being anywhere as thick or difficult to cut. Richard |
