How to knock down posts without ruining them?
Hi, I was thinking of setting up a fence on the property so the dog can run a bit more freely. So, I went to Jula and bought, among other things, the following products:
Pole: https://www.jula.se/catalog/tradgard/utemiljo/stangsel-och-staket/stolpar/stangselstolpe-006226/
Anchor: https://www.jula.se/catalog/tradgard/utemiljo/stangsel-och-staket/beslag/jordankare-793035/
Post Driver: https://www.jula.se/catalog/tradgard/utemiljo/stangsel-och-staket/verktyg/stolpnedslagare-793089/
When I drive down a pole, the edge at the very top where the post driver hits bends, causing the metal to expand and I can no longer fit the green plastic caps on the pole again.
How is this supposed to be done?

Drive the anchor down first, then mount the post, maybe?S Silverridge said:Hello, I was thinking of setting up a fence on the property so the dog can run a bit more freely. Said and done, I went to Jula and bought the following products, among others:

I have followed this video from Biltema (they sell identical products): https://www.biltema.se/fritid/tradgard/stangsel/D Dilato said:
About 1:15 into it, they mount a post in an anchor, and then they say you should drive the post into the ground. The question then is how to perform that task without damaging the post.
Place a thicker piece of wood on top of the post to hit? Usually saves the ends of wooden posts at least.S Silverridge said:
