Hello @DelWood 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about the mesh baskets.

I propose holding one of the corners of the top basket with your left hand and tapping the corner of the second basket underneath with a rubber mallet. You can also use a small timber offcut to gently tap the top corners loose. Repeat the process for each corner until the baskets come loose. 

Let me call on our experienced members @Dave-1 and @Nailbag for their recommendations.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Hi @DelWood 

If @EricL suggestion doesn’t work try pulling in the sides of the top one as with a helper holding the next one down. That can sometimes pull in the corners to shrink the size to release it

Good Evening @DelWood 

A couple of ideas to add to the good ones from @EricL and @Nailbag 

Leave the baskets in the sun for several hours then followeither of @EricL's or @Nailbag methods. Alternatively if you live somewhere wher it gets cold, leave them out overnight and try first thing in the early morning. Generally a little pressure from diagonally spaced corners has worked for me. Its how I have been taught to pull motor bearings off and wheels from cars as well. Slow and steady, tap gently with something heavy but not supper heavy

Good luck

Dave
