How to drive a pole

In order to set the fence or fence, you first need to drive posts into the ground. The use of special excavation drill to create wells beneath them, and the subsequent filling with concrete is not always justified and possible, so with not very high requirements to reliability of a design, you can try to drive the poles themselves.

You will need

• - sledgehammer;
• tube;
• - sheet metal;
• - metal scraps;
• - lead of a battery;
• - welding machine;
• jig - saw for metal;
• - metal rod;
• - tripod;
• - hook;
• block;
• - rope or chain.

Instruction

1. To drive a small pole with a small diameter and height (1.5 meters), use a regular hammer. Plug it in the right spot and lock (to keep it initially, maybe your assistant). Score first, weak beats, and when the post will surely stay in the ground, ask your assistant to move and strike with full force.
2. To drive high and wide of the post, do special tool – grandmother (Baba). Take a section of pipe about a meter long. Inner diameter of the tube should be slightly greater than the diameter of the post, it is free on it was worn.
3. Cut out of thick sheet metal circle corresponding to the diameter of the pipe and weld one end. Weld to the pipe end to something heavy like metal shavings. The total weight of the dough should range from 10-30 kg, the heavier it is, the easier it will be to score posts.
4. Try to weight grandmother in the following way: from sheet metal cut a circle equal to the inner diameter of the pipe and weld is not the end but a few inches from the edge (from the inside). The resulting bowl pour the molten lead from broken batteries.
5. From a solid rod cut two handles, about a meter long. The end bars bend at an angle 90⁰, it will arm. Weld the handles on both sides of the pipe, opposite to the heavier side. Handles should be long, to be not less than 50 cm down the tube.
6. If possible, make a handle of variable length to change the length as clogging of the column. Arms can wrap with electrical tape to make it easier to work with.
7. Install the column in the target site, the top put on his grandmother. Lift the design for the arm up to the 50 cm, then force it lower down. The severity of this tool will help you to score the pole smoothly and horizontally. The pipe will slide on the pole, and the blow is always directed along its axis.
8. To facilitate the upgrade of the headstock, install the tripod, towering above the upper point of the post. On top of the hook block, and to the grandmother weld a solid hook. Take a strong rope or chain and tie it to a hook, pass it through the block. For the other end of the pull, thereby raising their grandmother, then abruptly let go. Clogging of columns with the use of such instruments will be held for you very quickly and without much difficulty.
