How to repair old pine log fence/barrier?

Hi,
I have an old fence/barrier made of treated pine logs bolted to plates and these are bolted to very large metal posts/girders. The plates and bolts are rusted through and the pine logs are splitting. I can't find any replacement plates nor brackets. How should I attack this?
Thanks!

Were you going to be picking these up from the store, or would you fit the 2400mm long lengths in your vehicle @MSSM? If it assists, you could have the 125 x 125mm 2.4m Slab H4 Treated Pine Wet CCA delivered directly from Rouse Hill to your home if it is too far away for you to drive there.

Hi Mitchell,

I could put them on my roof rack. But Rouse Hill is a long way away. How much would delivery be for the 2 items?

Thanks!

Hi @MSSM 

 

I believe your quote will depend on the distance of your location. Allow me to reach out to you through private messaging to get more details. I'll also notify the team that you're after a quote for delivery.

 

Thank you for your patience.

Hi @MSSM,

 

The team at Bunnings Rouse Hill will reach out to you shortly with delivery options. They are currently just checking whether our delivery carrier will travel that far, or perhaps we could transfer that stock to a store closer to your location to be delivered from there.

 

Many thanks for your patience.

OK. It's almost done. I reused the existing plates, attached brackets to them, and screwed the sleepers from below. I reused most of the sleepers, and replaced 4 of them.

Thanks for everyone's help!

Hi @MSSM,

 

Thanks for the update and for sharing some new photos.

 

The solution you've come up with looks great, and I'm glad you were able to reuse the old brackets and the majority of the sleepers.

 

This will surely last you for years to come and if you need to change anything, you know exactly how to do it.
