I have to temporarily open a section of fencing tomorrow. It has
wooden arris rails which are inserted into sockets on a concrete post.
How can I get them out without damaging them please?

Do they bend enough to be able to?

If the rails go straight into the concrete posts, you could cut through
the rails at the point they enter the mortice, and re-fit them with
metal brackets

Hi again.

If thats the only way, I'll take a saw as well as a claw hammer.

Thanks.
