ANGLE-IRON POST ACCESSORIES AND TOOLS, cont’d.

Digging Bar

This useful tool (item 15-03PB below) saves lots of deer fence installation time. Use it to make a preliminary post hole, and then easily drive your deer fence post into this hole with the manual post driver (item 15-05 below). Start by putting a piece of tape on the digging bar to mark your hole’s desired depth. Then push or tap the digging bar a few inches into the ground, rotate it, tap it in a few more inches, rotate it, and repeat the process until you reach the desired depth for your deer fence post. Then rotate the bar a bit more until the hole is wide enough, and guide the post down the hole with the post driver, using the driver’s might and a carpenter’s level to ensure that the post winds up standing straight.

Manual Post Driver

Whether or not your have a pry bar, use this driver (item 15-05 below) to pound or guide your angle-iron posts into the ground. However, be sure that anyone helping to steady the post does NOT put his or her hands within reach of the driver, because the descending driver can seriously injure hands.

Rust-preventive Paint

Angle-iron posts are not galvanized, so they can corrode and if not maintained they will corrode. This corrosion can be severe enough to destroy the post in a few years. Fortunately, the maintenance needed to prevent this is simple. Just spray the occasional places where the black paint has been chipped (during installation or by other events) with an industrial grade rust-preventing paint (item 15-08 below). This should be done once the posts are installed and at intervals of 6 months to a year thereafter.
