A system we’ve come up with to easily install chain link fence posts where frost heaving is a major concern. No digging, no cement, very quick and minimal effort

They are still doing it wrong. The 1/2" square adapter can round up an damage the head, they should use a square hollow adapter that goes over the pylex.

On a large ranch, with a tractor that has a 3 point hitch, and power take off a completely automatic system is possible With a large number of post in the rack ready to install. A motorized cart comes in behind and extens the post to fence height and starts putting up the type of fence your using from wood to wire.

In my clay soil the inside of the pylex post lasts about 20 seconds before getting destroyed by the impact. Using a socket over the pylex post works better but can only get the post in 1-2 ft before the impact does too much damage to the top of the pylex post. Would not recommend using these. I have broken two brackets just by spinning in with a 2x4. Not sure how I'm going to get the rest in. Have spent a whole day on 8 posts and only about half done.

dig a small hole with shovel and dump water in it for a couple of days, then clay will be soft and you can drill it down perhaps.

I watched the manufacturer install video for these 50" piles and they say "not to be used for fencing".. I'm planning on using them for fencing with the lateral stabilizer add-ons. I can't see it being worse than a 4x4 fence post buried 3ft with concrete..

They're great for chainlink fence. Not sure how they'd do on a wooden fence. Might want to try one first. A heck-fire lot easier to install thats for sure.

After you slide the fence post onto the Pylex screw post, what stops the fence post from sinking further into the ground afterward? Should you drill a hole through both and bolt the two together so the fence post doesn't sink?
@algee82284 жыл бұрын
The pieces of black poly tubing keep it snug enough that I don't think I had to lock any in place, but if I had to I would drill through and put a screw or bolt.
@tanisbeazer85734 жыл бұрын
Algee Ok thanks. The reason I ask is that I want to put a suspended rolling gate on my fence. This would add extra weight to the fence and possibly cause the posts to sink further. Thanks for the instruction

This is not the manufacturer recommended method. The 1/2" square adapter can round up an damage the head, they should use a square hollow adapter that goes over the pylex in the same way as the saddle that comes with it. Also, those specific piles are not intended for fences; they don't have any built-in lateral stabilizer. How to you plan to stabilize them?
@algee822822 күн бұрын
There is some damage to the top square on the post using the 3/4" adapter, but I did not ruin any posts and I've done over 100, including removing and reinstalling about 30 of them. They are plenty stable for a chain link fence. That said, not suited for all ground conditions, and I would think if you use too powerful a drill it would cause more damage.

I am looking to install chainlink fencing in sand. Do you think this would work to get it down deep past the sand and into a substrate that will hold the posts?
@algee82282 жыл бұрын
I think these would go really well through sand. I was going mostly through clay. One thing is if you have deep sand at surface they may be a bit wobbly up top due to the sand. I think Pylex makes an add-on lateral support that might work there, but that would add to the cost. You could try one to see if its OK without the lateral support.
