Can I swap round a built wall in Rust from soft side to hard side?

I have made an error in my base, meaning that I have a single side of wooden wall piece with the soft side facing out. What are my options for fixing this?

I can demolish it slowly with an axe and re place it the start way - or if I upgrade it to stone would the rotate piece option be enabled for a bit again on the hammer? I don't want to run the risk of upgrading it to stone without being able to rotate it as that would be a real pain to demolish!

You can upgrade the wall to stone or metal and then rotate it, otherwise @kevinthegreat is correct, you will have to demolish the wall and replace it.

EDIT: When upgrading you can rotate a wall when you go from twig -> wood, wood -> stone, stone -> metal and metal -> armoured. Once the wall is fully upgraded or if you skip straight to armoured you cannot rotate it via upgrading.

You are going to have to demolish it, after placement there is a 10 minute window in which you can rotate the wall, source.
