A neighbor suggested how to pull out unnecessary or abandoned pillars in the garden with a minimum of effort. Archimedes to help us

  • Dec 16, 2020

At the dacha, it became necessary to pull the pole out of the ground so that the KAMAZ with sand could freely enter the construction site.

This is the first time I encountered this case, so the first thought that visited my twists in my head was the use of an ordinary car jack. Resting it on the eyelet.

My plan was a fiasco, it was not possible to pull the pole in this way.

A neighbor walked by, stopped and watched my attempts. "You will break the jack" A man of retirement age stopped me. After talking with him on the topic of pillar pulling, this is what he said:

At one time, he managed to pull the ownerless pillars with a rope, some kind of support and a long shoulder: a crowbar or the same pillar. They applied the Archimedes principle:

Give me a foothold and I will turn the earth.

Well, as the great Archimedes and mine bequeathed, not such a great neighbor is doing a shoulder. But first you need a strong rope, at the base of the post we make a stranglehold, when the load on it goes, it will tightly squeeze the post.

Next, we will bring a support, in this role I will have bricks.

I bring the lever and put it in the rope.

It remains only to install the iron lever on the support (bricks).

And hang at the other end of the lever, the pillar.

With such simple manipulations, you can remove the pole from the ground!

I think the neighbor's advice deserves approval in the form of Laika! Thank you!
