HELP,need to cut a metal fence post spike.

I’ve cut a few down with a hacksaw - easily done.0

If the other 3 are good I would consider just getting a repair spike to hold the last one in place
They are shorter.

How much are you cutting off? If you shorten it too much it won't hold the fence up.0

Well,I bought a angle grinder and had the spike cut to right size.
It probably wouldnt hold that post well as it is pretty shallow in ground,but would keep the wood end away from ground and encased in metal.
Rest of the three posts are now well anchored and hopefully would hold the garden arch strong with wind and plant growth.0
