Post Digging Time (mechanical auger and quick)

This is the average time to dig a fence post hole by hand in good conditions (e.i. not too many rocks).  The method employs a digging bar (iron), a post hole digger and a drain tile shovel (long narrow spade).

Post and Rail (Split Rail) Fence Calculators

• Number of Posts and Split Rails: Computes the number of fence posts and rails needed for a length of wood fencing.
• Wood Fence Cost Estimate : Computes material costs for post and rail fence based on the number of posts and rails (above) and unit cost pricing.
• Labor Cost for to Dig and Set Posts : Computes the approximate cost of labor in digging and setting fence posts based on the length of the fence, uniform distance between posts, method of digging (by hand, power auger) and the hourly labor pay rate (DPH).
• Time to Dig and Set Fence Posts:  Estimates the best-case time to dig and set fence posts by hand or using a mechanical auger.
• Perimeter of a Rectangular Shaped Area computes the length of a fence perimeter in a rectangular shaped area base on the length (l) and width (w) of the area.
• Circular Fence Calc computes the diameter, number of posts, rails, perimeter and area of a circular shaped fenced area (paddock) based on the number of sections (sides), length of sections and number of rows (rails).
• Fencing Needed for Circular Area computes the number of posts, number of sections, sides or panels, number of rail boards, perimeter and area of a circular shaped area (paddock) based on a diameter and length of sides and number of rows.
