How To Install Fence Post Without Digging

You tin can use metal fence posts that you lot utilise a sledgehammer to pound into the ground.

How-do-you-do, that is frustrating and unfortunate situation. Mostly one sees using he motorized augers used to place the support poles. I am not aware of any hack to establishing the support posts without burying them for traditional fencing. Sometimes brick and metal fencing are combined. This like would be very plush. I hope you find a solution that works for your soil conditions.

A post spike is made of heavy metal and is nearly 24 to xxx inches long so that it tin can become a proficient grip in the ground. The metal box that is fastened at the top holds the base of the forest fence post. The metal spike is driven into the ground with a sledgehammer. It provides an inexpensive and convenient way to erect a fence in a short amount of time. This also keeps the forest condom from rotting due to water seeping into the ground, then just make sure the top of the metallic spike is higher up the ground level.

Hi Janet, yes digging post holes is a killer. Hope this thought helps you with your argue.

I doubt if even the technique (requiring lots of shoulder musculus power) shown in the video link higher up, to sink aluminium fence poles, would exist effective enough to anchor the poles properly in soil that is very rocky.

The soil in the video looks to me to be soft, every bit if information technology could take formerly been grass sod.

Aye, rocky soil can be indeed 'hard as rock', requiring machines to dig holes adequately deep plenty to support the height of the posts.

You could make the fence free standing and put braces on the walls that rest on the floor to hold it up like a A frame type thing.

Hullo,

Had you thought to build Piers of stone and add together "middle" fixings to each 1 and secure your fence panels to them...............Hope that's of some help.

I'yard curious. What did yous decide on? I'm in the same situation

I was wondering the aforementioned thing. I need to contain my pocket-sized dogs, and so I idea nearly edifice a series of "raised garden beds" with a higher dorsum (nigh iv foot high) and then bolting them together to make a large square where they can run about without a leash. I was going to attach rebar and drive those into the footing to anchor information technology. Think it would work?

I live in Eastern Oregon where the bedrock is basically the surface Stone and in this country where you cannot bulldoze a Tpost they make rock jacks to serve equally corner posts.

Nosotros can't bulldoze-in post with heavy equipment so this is what you have to exercise.

And I'll be information technology this is for thousands of acres in a pasture just I take the aforementioned problem with my yard.

If you're looking to keep in dogs then chain link fence in like a dog kennel that'southward freestanding might work though that is expensive.

If yous tin can bulldoze a metal T mail in a few inches a rock Jack on each corner can however stabilize information technology pretty well.

How-do-you-do, fill big buckets or planters with concrete and plant your posts inside. To hide/disguise the gap between the concrete planter supports, used cedar planks or even a low-growing hedge.

Not sure if it would suit your needs or if you lot take the room, but a zig zag carve up rail contend doesn't mostly accept posts.

Look into a 'no-dig' fence. They are installed with spikes in the ground.

You could use pre-cast piers and build up from there. If you google it, you will see what they look like.

I've seen no-dig fence ideas hither on Hometalk and then try a search using the search bar at the top left. You can as well hire the drilling equipment if that'due south an option. It's powered and since you're renting it, the cost is a lot less.
