Quick And Easy One Person Fence Post Removal

I demonstrate the absolute easiest and cheapest fence post removal ever! No special machinery, no shovel, and no exhaustion! All you need is a 2x4 and the lashing side of a ratchet strap! This method also works wonders for sealed septic tank lids.

HOSS, I want to thank you i used your method a 16 ft 2x4, attached 2x4 to broken base of flagpole using reese 10' tie down strap, walk to other end of 2x4 bent over expecting resistance, lifted 2x4 and POP out it came, now my friends want to know how I got it out So Cleanly because i had a gravel and flowers around base that are still there and a bunch of pea gravel still there., I'll never tell them but here !!!

This is interesting. This something i would never have looked up on YouTube but something that could be very useful.

I did this when I took my old garden out this spring. It does make it easier.

Scientific Fulcrum and Leverage talk, did look super easy though I'll give you that.

[FrankSartain]

This is a very valuable skill to have. Thanks for sharing.

[jelau]

Leverage is even easier if you use the lever 3 or 4 times longer from the tying point, I use to remove post in concrete that would weigh 100+pounds with ease.

[AaricHale]

Your ground is SANDY. Try that in rock and dirt & clay and I wanna see you move that world.

I was just going to say lol "let me show you how to easily remove a fence post" says the 6'5" 300 lb dude

[ReverendHogwash]

Damn easy pulling out of sand eg loose ground, try that with hard ground!

[faubourglincoln]

Were you able to put back the post? Did you need to add more concrete to the hole? Thanks.

[stevenjordan]

stick a pipe wrench on top so you do not have to tie so tight.

[nialuv]

Will this work on small bushes? How long should the board be?

[patrickrossi]

What kind of lashing to post did you use?
