The Basics of Post Hole Digging

When it comes to post hole digging, there are a few basics that you should get to know. Before digging your post holes please ensure you have Oakville utility locates identified or cleared. Hole Digger can also help you with this!
 
Hole Digger will help you determine the size of the hole required. This will depend on the size of the post that is being installed for your project in Oakville.
 
Next we ensure that the hole that we dig is deep enough. The depth will also depend on Oakville’s bi-laws and the frost line. When digging the hole, we want to make sure that we keep the sides straight up and down / clean. This will make it easier to put the post in and will help make your Oakville project look clean and professional.
 
Finally, once you have dug the hole, if you would like us to set the post we would insert the post ensure the fence post is level and fill it with concrete.

Post Hole Digging Tools Commonly Used In Oakville

There are different tools that help post hole digging project some of
them include: traditional manual diggers, PTO augers, and hydraulic hole
diggers.

Traditional manual post hole diggers consist of two blades connected by a cross piece.

PTO (power take off) augers are used with tractors. A typical PTO auger system utilizes a gearbox with ring gear and pinion to transfer the rotation from the PTO driveline through a right angle to drive an output spindle, where the auger bit attaches.
 
Hydraulic post hole diggers are similar to power augers, but use hydraulics instead of an engine to generate drilling power.
