If you're thinking of installing the deck of your dreams, you may need to dig deep holes into accommodating your deck posts as well as the concrete footing surrounding them. To accomplish this DIY project, you will need a post hole digger.
At Jono and Johno, we can help you with this! Our wide range of post hole diggers, post hole digger spare parts, and post hole digger drill bits, can help you build the deck of your dreams. Apart from using a post hole digger auger to build a deck, you can also use it for various projects (e.g., preparing to put up a birdhouse, planting a new tree in your backyard, or digging a deep hole to prepare for a fence or even electric fence).
A post hole digger is equipment used to dig or bore out deep holes suitable for placing posts in the ground. But this device is more than just for posts. They can also be a useful tool for removing dirt on somewhat hardened soil for planting and amending. It can also be used to create larger-sized holes and single post holes. You can also use it to start trenches for irrigation channels and other similar deep digging tasks.
Consider Your Soil Type: Rocky or clay-heavy soil requires a petrol post hole digger with at least 2-2.5 horsepower. Softer garden soil can be managed with drill-attached auger bits.
Select The Right Auger Size: Match your auger diameter to your post size. Standard fence posts typically need 100-150mm augers, while deck posts may require 200-300mm bits.
Check Build Quality: Look for high-carbon steel augers that won't snap when hitting rocks or roots. Sturdy handles with anti-vibration padding reduce fatigue during extended use.
Think About Weight: Lighter models (under 10kg) work well for one person, but heavier soil conditions may require a two-person operation for better control.
