Turning telegraph poles into gate posts

 

We bought these two telegraph poles last week and used a chainsaw to cut them into 2.1 metre (7 foot) lengths. They will be used as gateposts and we have quite a few old ones that need to be replaced. The gateposts have to be strong enough to hold heavy agricultural gates. They come with two positives: we are able to repurpose something which would otherwise have been thrown out, and they are far cheaper than buying new gateposts made from virgin timber.
