Here's my dilemma:
New pool built, have to make existing patio/driveway fence taller, to 54" (current fence is about 44" tall, 4x4's are about 36" out of the concrete). I don't want to bust up the concrete so I'm hoping my idea will work.
Is it possible to use the existing 4x4's and just make them longer by attaching another 12-16" 4x4 on top? I'm thinking about possibly drilling a into the existing 4x4's on top to have "pin" for the new post to sit on. I would use wood glue to seal the connection, and then use some Simpson strong tie connectors to bolt the two together.
Do you think this would work?
