Install chain link fencing without concrete

If you decide to install chain link fencing without concrete, use a back hole digger to dig a hole deep enough to bury the post at least two feet, or about 1/3 of its height. Never knock the post into the ground, especially if you have hard clay or rocky soil, as you will bend the top. The hole should be slightly larger than the post, so you can fill it with dirt that is tightly packed around the post.

Installing a fence without concrete will save you a small amount of concrete, trowel and gravel bills. If you use an auger to dig the post holes, you might be able to install it in a day. If you choose to save on the auger rental fee, it will take longer because you will be digging the post holes by hand.
