Best way to cut a section of CSP culvert? The steel is surprisingly thick stuff

Angle grinder? Dunno what's best but that's what I've always used. That or pic related.

Post it on craigslist free and say that people can have a 11" section if they cut it off themselves

If you put anything for free on Craigslist, expect the meth-heads to show up with shopping carts and strip everything down to depths that rival a quarry. I put some leftover landscaping materials on Free one time and I swear this pack of chromosome-impaired mutants showed up and scalped the lawn down to raw clay and stone. They literally took the top soil, nearby plants, dividers, sprinkler heads, and mulch in a 20' radius. Scavengers.

Best to stand outside with a shotgun ans blast mutants if they get too handsy.

Wait they stole your fucking top soil? Like their plan is to sell 3ft or whatever of top soil now?

I am not joking, exaggerating, etc.

Angle grinder and cutoff wheels if you want a nice straight smooth cut. Torch if it can be a bit jagged. If you are using it as an actual culvert then leave it long for extra width. People always make their culverts too narrow...
