Now, let’s get onto how to do backyard fence removal. As mentioned, you’ll need at least one set of helping hands. Along with the help, a few common household tools. Here’s how to go about backyard fence removal:

• Remove the gate. Start with the gate. Take it off the support posts by unfastening the hinges. (Be sure to keep children and pets inside so they can’t wander off.) Place the gate aside, out-of-the-way.
• Take off the top railing. If equipped remove the cap from the end post, then use the drill-driver to remove the retaining screw that fastens the rail to the end post. Unfasten the retaining screw, then, slide the post toward the next panel. Work the railing up and off the panel.
• Pull off the panels from the posts. Next, you’ll need to remove the individual panels, one at a time. As with the gate, pile these out-of-the-way so they aren’t a tripping hazard. If possible, stand them up so critters can’t hide or nest underneath.
• Dig up the fence posts, one-by-one. Lastly, you’ll have to remove the posts one at a time, using a post hole digger. This is the most laborious part of taking down any fence. Generally, posts are buried about two to three feet into the ground, set into concrete.
