I need to cut a steel pole. It is the pole of an inground basketball
goal. It is currently standing up and anchored with concrete to the
ground. I am totally clueless about metal cutting.
Is it possible to "saw off" the pole near its base ? If yes, what
type of saw or cutting tool do I need to use ? Any advice on how to
go about it ?
For background, this is an old and broken goal installed by the
previous owner of the house. It is just outside our fence, on the
back alley. This morning a city inspector knocked on our door and
asked that it be removed immediately, since some big trucks are having
problems going through the alley.
Another option would be to break the concrete base where it is
anchored. But that seems to me like even a bigger and more complex
job.
Please help.
Thanks,
Andy
