I’ve never seen a comparison like this before. Excellent stuff! Thanks ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

No problem 👍 Thanks for watching! Check out our other videos for more great content!

In some dry, rocky soil here in central Texas, I found the dirt would crumble and fall out of the post-hole digger, and pulling it out by hand was tedious. Instead, I'd break up a few inches of soil with the post-hole digger, and then pull the loose stuff out with my Shop-Vac. I'd need to pause periodically to pull a rock out of the nozzle, but it worked pretty well, though that'd be a little more difficult farther from an electrical source.

[@Pecknock]

Concrete seems to be the best option here. Post driving is dependent on soil type. Awesome video overall. Thanks for sharing this video

[@SevenPeaksFenceandBarn]

You bet! Thanks for watching!

[@mchlyap]

Awesome, thank you!

[@carolyng651]

Thanks so much... just what I needed

[@SevenPeaksFenceandBarn]

So glad to hear! It’s why we make these videos! Thanks for watching

[@azvrmechanicaluniverse8922]

marvelous & merci

[@naubaucat]

Thanks so much for the comparison, and I only have one post to do. I have never set a post before, and I will be doing this on my own. This video will help a lot.

[@miniaddict4534]

Can I ask if you completed your project? If so, how did it go? And what did you use to set your post, concrete or foam? I only have to install two posts myself, so I am very curious.

[@michaelparks3187]

Great stuff, thank you,

Nice

Thank you so much for the support!

[@tiffanyhartley5709]

Great video, I’ve been trying to figure out what to do for my fields. Another struggle is which posts to use since I’m in Oregon on a hillside (lots of moisture) are those galvanized posts and best ways to attach fencing to galvanized posts would be great? :)

[@SevenPeaksFenceandBarn]

Thats tough. I always suggest concreting for best results but being on a hillside with lots of rock can be challenging too. These posts are just raw steel but you can definitely get galvanized posts. And attaching fence to galvanized posts would be just the same as raw steel posts whether thats continuous fence using clips and screws, top rail no climb by welding top rail to posts and tying on the no climb or welding a top rail with rails in between. What type of fence are you looking to do?

[@ChazR25]

Nice demonstration of the different techniques! Would you ever consider digging and concreting a steel post to later be used with a vinyl fence? There's a product called a "donut" that slides over the steel post and then screws into it, and then you slide the vinyl post over that donut and put a screw through the vinyl into the donut. You may have heard about this method before. The benefit, as I see it, would be to have a smaller diameter hole(steel post as opposed to the 5x5 vinyl) and I guess an easier time repairing if a vinyl post ever cracked or something. I'm building my own vinyl fence in the coming weeks and would appreciate any thoughts. Thanks!

[@beerye3750]

How'd it go?

[@ChazR25]

@BeeRye Still waiting on the surveyor, but I'm leaning toward just putting the vinyl posts in concrete. I think if done properly there should be no need for repairs and should last a long time. Rough estimate also save $1k by not using the steel.

[@pinki482]

Perfecto

[@SevenPeaksFenceandBarn]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@davidteague1854]

Do you need to brace the post to keep it plumb? How do you do that?

[@bennn82]

Good question

[@tinktink3182]

Concrete❤

[@SevenPeaksFenceandBarn]

Great option! Thanks for commenting! Be sure to watch some of our other videos for more great content pertaining to horse and livestock fencing!

[@Tdub66]

Fast 2K fence setting material is far better than Sika. Just a FYI

[@SevenPeaksFenceandBarn]

GOOD TO KNOW! We will have to try that! Thanks for the info!

[@Jenny-mz4oo]

that is expensive

[@Tdub66]

Plumb post! Not level when measuring vertically young fella!

[@SevenPeaksFenceandBarn]

You're 100% right! Thanks for commenting!

[@zmartkooky244]

Americans use protection goggles and gloves for everything xD You aren't doing anything that pose a risk to your eyes, and you don't need protection gloves... at least not during the measuring part.
