Replacing fencing question

I have a galvanised wire mesh fence running around my garden and pathways, the fence is attached to 1m (roughly) high concrete posts.

I want to replace this wire mesh with fence panels 2m high, is there anyway I can reuse the concrete posts? Brackets to attach wood posts maybe? Any ideas...

Thanks

 

Difficult, do the posts have holes?
Probably better to get them out and replace with 8ft concrete recessed posts.

Its a bit of hard work but will pay dividends if you intend staying in the house.

 

You could glue and screw three bits of wood together in the form of a U, screw this to either side of the posts and drop fencing panels down the U. Just a thought.

Cheers, Tony.

 

If the posts were only for wire mesh they may not be far enough into the ground to support a 2m fence, they need to be a good 2' into the ground.

 

The centres of the existing posts are almost certainly the wrong distance apart, even after (any slight adjustment possible when) extending the heights, to be suitable to fit standard fence panels between them without modification, plus the foundations for a low chain link fence may well be inadequate for a much higher panelled fence and you could have the whole thing blow over in the next gale.

 

Fence posts are 8-10ft apart, standard fence panels are shorter, unless I make up feather board panels myself to fit (heavier and more time consuming)

I'm not planning to stay in the house longer than 2 yrs, needs to be quick and cheap.

Might just rip it all out and put wood panels and wood posts in to see me through the next 2 yrs....

Any other thoughts, maybe I've missed something..

 

I think I may fence some areas and bush/privacy screen other areas.
